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.

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.

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

u dont use your own bike, atleast not on the ones i've seen. and theres a big fan setup in front of it, similar to a dyno. nothin bad about this at all.

stunters not wearing gear doesnt bother me anymore than anybody else not wearing gear. sure ill poke fun, but its their skin, not mine. idgaf.

i see more stunters in parking lots, vacant streets than traffic. i see an occasional wheelie on the freeway, but to call that stuntin is like saying if you're speeding, you're racing.

Ridiculous...

I personally think flight simulators are gay too. Flying should only clearly be done in a controlled safe enviornment, and what the hell is the point of a simulator? To show encourage young squid pilots?

I know thats a lil extreme but thats how gay this thread sounded to me. Its a simple rig that some one thought of and is making a lot of cash on it. It gives 300+lbs fat guys and 115lbs chicks who will never learn to wheely the chance to give it a shot, thats all. Its fun, like a simulator. Its like 10 bucks for 3 wheelies, most of the time, its NEVER your own bike. Oh well, thats my over tired and grumpy rant for the night. Now Ill sit back and wait for the grammar corrections.
