That's not a lack of bravado, that's a surplus of maturity IMHO. I'd ride with you any day.

Agreed, i can honestly say i've never intentionally popped a wheelie, and didn't like it when i've done them accidentally!

ive got the front wheel up on my bikes accidently and didnt like that feeling much. i thought about practicing actually doing wheelies on purpose just to get used to the feeling so its not so much of a shock when it does happen on accident.

I just changed the bars on my bike to put my weight a bit further forward so it didn't happen again!

I love a good power-wheelie in controlled circumstances of course

So, do you plan on doing a few stoppies or wheelies in a car?

Now THAT I'd pay to see!

You kill me!

My brain is shorting out trying to picture this....

Getting back to the thread, defensive driving techniques can also be very usefull. This involves finding and staying in your own bubble. Room in front , behind, and as much on the sides as you can, Sometimes this involves some wriggling to find the right place, if someone is tailgating you, move on to find the bubble somewhere else. If there is a hazard look beyond it to the safe place. On the track under passing the rider looks into the hole he is going into, not at the rider he is passing. Also be as bright as you can, be visible.

Damn guys ur good. well i think u should alway think ahead of where u going.
Always be alert cause sometims unexpected happens and just be calm and self confident that all. I think that and i never rode a bike shish. Damn u guys are good riders realy. Nice and safe.
