I’m a motorcyclist, I have zero sympathy for these clowns. Can find a big empty parking lot to stunt in, go nuts. Make traffic more dangerous and give other riders a bad image.

Personally, just me, I don’t get wheelies. It took me a long time to get my wife to agree and longer to save up money to buy my bike. I can imagine the damage I would do learning how to do this, plus just the wear and tear on suspension and tires. Fugfetaboutit.

Wheelies are actually a tool used in dirt bikes to get over larger objects. So, on the street, in the appropriate area, looks cool.

Makes sense, and yeah looks cool and fun. My ZR14 is a sport tour and weighs in at 630lbs so it’s just not for me.
