Maybe because dirt bikes aren't road legal they are not subject to the rules of the road?

How it works around here is, a parking lot may be privately owned, but it has both public access and expected use by the public. This allows the cops to enforce traffic laws in them.
But this is Canada, we take alot more krap from our government than alot of states seem to.

Um... wasn't this thread about how you can't learn about wheelies over the internet?
Read the first post again, because everything they said there is absolutly true, wheelies are dangerous, and will tear up your bike, and your body if even the slightest mistake is made.
With that said... I stated some basics that worked for me...
But... you gotta search the forum for it... its in there... somewhere... Mwuahahahahah! *cough* hahaha *gasp* ahahahh *Wheeze*

The bike I have won't wheelie. I just wanted to know how to get out of a wheelie. In case I had a bike that was capable and I did it by accident.
P.S. I thought you could learn how to do everything on the internets.

Sure it will. It probably won't do it just by power alone, but it'll do it. A friend of mine owned a bike shop years ago, before the days when bikes had so much excess hp. He wheelied every bike in the shop from the mopeds to the big Harleys. It's all in the technique.
Chances are slim that you'll ever find yourself in an accidental wheelie. When it happens by accident, the front wheel will be below the balance point and it'll probably plop right back down before you realize what happened. If it goes beyond the balance point, you'll likely be on your back.
Letting off the throtttle will settle the front wheel back down. The important point is that the tire better be lined up with your direction of travel, or you're going to be out of control when the tire touches down.
