It'll teach you clutch-up technique and throttle management without you having to worry about busting your head or busting your forks.

i think it was a very fair answer Zoom, I have seen these things, and while I dont ever plan on actually stunting my bike, it does look like controled fun, doing something you know deep down you are curious about but in a manner it wont hurt you, your bike, or anyone else...unlike asswads who wheelie and burn out in crowds of people!!

There are some deserted backroads about 30 minutes from my house.. I see a car every 45 minutes or so, these are the roads I wheelie on.. Nobody around, no crowds, just me and my bike. I dont do it to impress anyone or to show farmer Brown that I am a badass. I wear my gear and maybe go 5mph over the speedlimit.. harmless...I do it cause its fun. Isnt that the reason we ride, cause its fun?

I have no problem with what you’re doing. Seems to be a pretty safe place for you and I am glad you’re doing it for your enjoyment. I have no problems with backroad fun. Hell, if I could find a good, deserted road, I’d probably stunt too.

This is the problem I have:

I leave work, hop on my bike get on the free way and get into the carpool lane. Cool two bikes in front of me. Suzuki’s , helmet, tshirt pants and tennis shoes, whatever your skin not mine. In front of them maybe a cars length away is a moving truck. Now here is where it starts 1. I feel they are following too close. 2 its medium to high traffic at this time of day. 3. They are not staggered and 4. (my fav) they start trying to pull wheelies.

As soon as I see the first one try, I let up on the throttle, tap the rear brakes. And keep way way back.

It's a nice way to overheat your engine very fast.

Those guys are squids... I cant count how many times cagers tell me they hate ALL MOTORCYCLIST because some losers in jean shorts and tennis shoes (no shirt) acted like that on busy freeways

Good way to do it safely but it would definately encourage people in attendance of a rally to do stunts.
I hate on stunters because I've never seen one doing it safely or in a controlled environment. It's almost always in heavy traffic without signalling or care around the cars. When they start doing it in empty parking lots or not on the freeway then I'll respect them.

When they come out with a stunting videogame I'm selling my gsxr.:panic:

I didn't realize that you use your own bike for it. I'd give it a try at least.
