I'm 16 and currently have no job as summer is over an school has again begun. This is my first year riding and I havent done a wheelie yet and don't think I ever plan to.

35. Paramedic. I don't wheelie. If you do a wheelie, don't do it on public roads. Not much sympathy for stunters, adrenaline junkies, drunks, etc who are operating any kind of vehicle and endanger innocent people.

45, Independant insurance broker,
like to wheelie dirt and trials bikes
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

34 married with two kids. I am a CPA and I have been riding for three years. No interest in wheelies, in fact I would be amazed if my bike could pull one off.

Just turned 64 and am retired from Bell Labs. Had lots of jobs there including teaching and troubleshooting electronics. My last assignment was as a technical writer. I am much busier in retirement than I ever was when working. I started riding at age 14 on a Vespa motorscooter. Have had three motorcycles over the years, but have been without one for a few years now. Planning to buy another bike in the next few months.

I don't wheelie; life experience teaches you that you are not bullet-proof.

I'm 44, married, two kids. I work as a geomatics technologist; if someone could look that up for me and let me know what it is I'm supposed to be doing every day, I'd appreciate it.

No wheelies for me thanks. Only God kept me alive through my first 5-years of motorcycling, and I don't want to press my luck with Him any further.
