Yeah, I also saw a guy today do the longest wheelie I have ever seen.
IMO it's very stupid to do, but I guess it's cool for the people looking on (as long as he doesn't kill himself)

Do it in a parking lot or an empty side street or something like that, don't be stupid and do it on the QEW!

If it's the same person, I hope that the police charge him with reckless driving or something!!

well it probably wouldn't have mattered but there wasn't anybody near him at all so at the very least he was endangering himself... but i doubt he was doing it for the first time and knew what he was doing it... but oh well first time i'd ever seen it in person and i thought it was pretty cool

I was out riding yesterday with my buddies and this crazy **** did that exact same thing on the 404. Must have been doing at least 100.

Yeah but on the bright side, of all the people you're going to see winning a Darwin award on the QEW the guy wiping out on the motorcycle is probably the likely to take you with him. 1 fatality + 10 fender benders.

I'm more impressed seeing chix in white tanks and hot shorts caught in spring thunderstorms my buddy bought a brand new Kawasaki 600RR and he's doing trix... he already dropped his brand new bike. IMO - very stupid. No one is impressed. We're coming back from MI one night, and he was sitting on his tank doing 130. I was just waiting to see how long it'd be before I had to scrape his *** off the median. Isht like that pisses me off.

Ghost Rider might get a lesson in aerodynamics if he plays around like that. Aero forces increase with the square of speed. If you lifted the front end of your car at that speed the wheelie would turn into takeoff. He's got less area to lift with but not much weight. That could turn ugly in a hurry if the air catches him.

ahhh yes wheelies...very fun stuff...nothing liek bringin it up going over 100 km's and hour....half the adrenaline is knowing if you bail your ****ed....I've gone around 90 - 100 km/h with no helmet and in shorts....lol that was scary to say the least...wheelies are cool but if your gonna play your gonna pay....and if your not experienced your gonna drop it no matter what it's gonna happen.....notice all the bikes on ebay there are hundreds of 600's in there that have been dropped.. makes he feel bad inside of all the wasted bikes, and that is why you pay 8000 bux a year for insurance on them....
