Nit to brag but those wheels are weak for us. We both got reckless driving tickets. He was gonna give us some bracelets but we calmed him down a bit. Boy was he pissed. Believe it or not I got us off in court. 50 bucks each. Lol. I love the law. I'll explain later. Gotta get back to building a new gate on the house.
Here in Ontario, it's a law called 'stunting' & it's an automatic 7 day impound of your vehicle, 7 day license suspension, court date, up to $10,000 fine. The cops become judge & jury on the side of the road & you still have to go to court. You can even get beaned for it by driving more than 50km/h over the limit. Some examples: Speeding Wheelies Burnouts drifting stoppies standing on the pegs(yep, you can lose you ride & licence for 7days just because you stood up to stretch)
Bad boys, you should know better Reminds me of my younger days, having fun with my bike. Back in my day it was stop light to stop light racing. when your street bike did 13 seconds in the 1/4 mile right out of the box, you have to use it. Getting pulled over one time, along with another guy on his bike I didn't know and just raced, The cop pulled us over, hand cuffed us, sat us on the curb. Then..... Cop goes to his car, comes over to us with a large photo album. Inside were pix's of major motorcycle accidents, blood, gore, death broken bodies, faces ripped off, broken death necks, more horrible than I have ever seen, the cop made us look through the book, turning the pages for us, and not saying a word. Once done he un cuffed us, walked back to his car, and drove off. No ticket, no lecture, just drove off. That was 42 years ago and I still remember those pix's. I have lost too many friends on motorcycles, drugs, and cars over the years, most all from stunting. Worse I had to look at their mothers, after words, knowing, she knew I did the same stuff. I couldn't look them in the eye's. Somehow I was spared, but Rubin, strawberry, Hichee, and Nick, didn't make it to their 18th birthday, my friends. cool vid though.... Mike
Yikes! I do that occasionally on my TE. Particularly when there was construction near my place and the road was chopped up. I'd imagine you could talk your way out of that one if you were on an appropriate bike. I've also read recommendations about standing when you sense a car may be considering pulling out in front of you. It may actually get them to notice you.
Sorry but I hate this type of video....shows motorcyclist being morons....go do it somewhere besides a public road....it is this type of action that brings a bad spotlight to motorcyclist around the world...
First of all I'm not mentally retarded. And it's not people like me that give motorcyclist a bad name, quite the opposite actually. People such as yourself. Allow me to explain I ride 2 wheels a day ever since I got my license. People like me know what they are doing. I have over half a million street miles with zero accidents. People that stunt didn't learn to ride yesterday. People that look at me at criticize are the ones that are the statistics. They are the ones who ride once a month and go out and get into accidents. People in general scared of what they don't know. Sorry to knock you off your high horse. Please get back up there and continue passing judgement.
I am not talking accidents only....what about scaring the old lady you just flew by on a wheelie? then she goes home and explains this to her kids and so on... half a million miles? like to see that....I've been riding m/c since 1973 and yes I can pull a wheelie too(yippie) and a stoppie but you need to know where to do them...public roads are not the place...period hence the ticket....
I'm not sure what some peole are talking about here, other then one small part the roads where empty so where is the mayhem and carnage that can occur, and how much damage can you do with a supermoto anyway...it's not an highaboobsa And besides, stunting is our only chance to get back at your average car driver/cellphone talker/coffee drinker/ doing everything but looking where he's going driver So I say rock on ( just be careful...) Like the video, too bad they got you
Half a million miles..... Here ya go! I'm 34 got my license when I was 18. I owned 2 cars in my life for a total of 6 months. 34-18=16 16x365=5,840 5,840x100 miles a day average 584,000 give or take I rather Live on the edge than tip toe threw life to arrive at death safely.
Well maybe moron is not the right word, irresponsible, menace, and childish, at 34 you should know better. There's plenty of places to have fun with that stuff, semi safely. I think what some are telling you, is the public highway isn't one of them. You disputing that, as opposed to admitting its poor judgment on your part, makes your case worse for doing it in the first place. the problem is the glamour shown all over TV, the net of people doing what you did, sort of makes you think it's ok, that's understandable at your age. Most your age that do the stunts are just followers any way, it's all been done before, lots of times. The risk you take isn't just from a crash, your lic could get suspended, your insurance could be dropped you may put your job at risk, worse, your kids could become father less, and have to go to your funeral. You are intentionally putting other people on the highway at risk, by falling off the back and your bike becoming an unguided missile. At 34 and 500,000 miles you should already know this. We all did stupid fun stuff as kids, but at some point we have to grow up. If you were 18 I would understand your responces, not at 34. Mike
