I'm certain that you could pull a whole host of pics of any number of two wheeled vehicles doing a wheelie...but if you happen to see it ON THE STREET WHILE RIDING (not at some expo/demo/show...love the capt America suit) I bet I never get to open a beer from that cooler if we only drink for cruisers, tourers, standards, mopeds, that wheelie by us...and just for sh!ts for every "squid" we see 'performing' their own private stunt show...is one day with no drinks for you....

And as far as the Gear is concerned...I live in the "live free or die" state and yes a vast majority of cruiser, tourer, standard, and moped riders DO go with the do-rag or bean bucket...and there I have to agree I've seen Plenty of "squids" and their very hot scantily clad passengers wearing shorts tank tops flip flops and a $600.00 SHOEI full face...

At least her face will look good in the box...

Again I have nothing against the machine...in fact I like them SO much that I will not own one...I was young and foolish once...and yes I rode in shorts, tanktop, SANDLES, But I did wear a helmet... well at least until I got to the MA/NH border...and yes I did get into a tremendous speed wobble at over 125 MPH while riding on the highway (RT 93 thru Woburn MA to be exact) All of this only further enforces my position...I was young & stupid and faster, bigger, and more powerful was the way to go...Nothing felt better than that Ninja 750 at 130MPH except that Ninja 750 at 140...but all of the studies back my position...if your under 30 and you ride a sportbike (which are SO much better than when I was too stupid and invincible) you are SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to die....and bikes are SO much more popular around the younger crowd then they were when I was younger...bike registrations are higher now then ever (and the gas $$$ will only drive that higher) And despite my transgressions "street stunts" were never the "rage" they are now...
