well tonight lets see...say 8pm-ish. A poor rook in shorts and a t-shirt was comin the other way when i popped my gixxr up so he popped his up...just a lil too far...and back he went...the bike got thrashed...tumbled bout 5 times and wrecked his fairings, exhaust, you name it...even his front wheel was slightly egg shaped...after i stopped and helped him up and got his stuff off the road (not to mention this was 5th St in reading PA right in front of where EVERYONE hangs out) he was alright a little road rash thats about it...I think his pride was hurtin more than anything... just goes to show that stuff happens..I know it wasnt a fatality but it sure opened my eyes as to what can happen if you dont look out...

I hate it when they re-stripe the roads and the damp paint is all slick and smooth. When makin turns if your back tire catches them when your on the throttle then the ass end is all over the place. Damn paint!

yeah, I don't play with wheelies in open roads or streets, cause I've totaled my previous bike doing them :), and seeing how fast it can get away from you when you do f up; I never want to hurt anyone by accident.
so it anoys me a little that people do them in congested area's; however, if you got mad skills thats another thing.
