    Good advise my friend...and point taken...

    It's just funny how a 4 second clip makes everybody look bad and as a matter of fact that was taken at a secluded road with no parked cars, no pedestrians etc

    Not even a cow onsite..lol...

    i've seen a lot of other riders that pull crazier stunts compared to what you saw in that 4 second clip...

    you should come out to one of our rides and see for yourself...

    but...everybody is entitled to their opinion...

    peace

    you are making a deal out of a 4 sec wheelie performed in a deserted area with zero traffic, pedestrians and animals. Not even a bird. You do realize there is hundreds of bikers on ontario roads doing wheelies, lane splitting, and speeding in traffic. Aren't those people giving you a bad name? Every person creates their own image in public.

    "big patch of gravel"...? We saw a bit scattered here and there this afternoon but not a lot by any stretch. Maybe a car dragged some onto the road? There were certainly a lot of cars there when we went...and they don't exactly handle the road so well (or more to the point - their drivers don't!)


    ...Then one day you realise your 'knight in shining armour' is just a retard in tinfoil.

    The issue isn't whether it was "safe" or not to do that wheelie in that location. Not at all.

    The issue is that it can get the operator of that vehicle a stunt-driving charge. It doesn't matter if it was "safe" or not.

    It's also something that can be found as evidence by all the blue-haired grandmothers out there, "Look at all the dangerous driving (in THEIR opinion - not yours) that happens on OUR road! This is why the local police department should station a car at this location (generally somewhere near in front of their own driveway) 24 hours a day 7 days a week to write anyone going 51 km/h a ticket (nevermind that they usually drive faster than that themselves)! We demand it!"

    Like it or not, the opinions of residents (and voters) like that get heard a lot more loudly than your wish to ride without interference from them.

    It's a whole lot better to just not attract the wrong kind of attention in the first place ... Yes, it sucks, but it is how it is.
