Buddy of mine was doing tank wheelies tonight. This guy can go for miles, so he's not some squid with a new bike trying. He had a 600 a while back(he's the hollywood guy in the stunt section), he sold it and got a 954 , was wrecked, he fixed it, got it back 2 weeks ago. Tonight, about 30 us us meet up, go to a spot and people start the wheelies. About 20 min. into the night, The guy with the 954 is doing wheelies like a champ. One-handed stand-ups,flamingoes, you get the idea. NIMROD gets hot ,takes his LEATHER jacket off and continues. Well you know it can happen and it does. He comes down to hard from a tank wheelie and flips over the front, bike rolls 100yards and hits the ground.
Moral of the story...........WEAR YOR GEAR!!!! I know alot of you guys are trying to learn wheelies, I say go for it. Just wear your gear, it was made to protect you in a crash. It happens to everyone sooner or later.
He had bad road rash on both arms, but he'll be ok
Ride safe guys
