Wheelie karma?

For those of you who hate show offs, we were heading home Sunday PM, and about 1/4 mile ahead of us I see a bike, going our way, and it looks odd, really, really tall. Then, it dawns on me it's a crotch rocket and he's doing a wheelie and standing on his rear fender, and he starts weaving. Pretty cool stunt. But, then, the weaving increases, full on tank slapping fun and...down he goes!!!!

We pull up, flashers on, I go running up, he's already off the deck, trying to start it and I'm like "You OK, ####-o???" Looking at his eyes, trying to see if his bell is rung and I need to stop him.

He's cool. Gonna have some decent road rash and...off he goes!

No matter where he lives or pulls off stunts like that, he is an idiot and lucky to be alive. Maybe he was trying out for one of those jackass promos.

Driving on the beltway last night between 5 & 210 were 4 guys on motorcycles, side by side, one in each lane, creating a rolling roadblock. Then they all zoomed off to 210, several of them popping wheelies. At least on SUV tried cutting through them, but they would zoom up then slow down to prevent anyone getting past them. Karma would have been nice to see in that instance.

No because I think that stuff is kewl, the crazy riding. Plus, by and large, they don't hurt anyone else and the damage is pretty minimal. I was entertained, he didn't die or become a burden to the community and I was reminded why, not that I needed it, I don't even try that crap.

Wouldn't doubt it. He took off in a hurried, "I have learned no lesson here' fashion.

It was weird. Any rider woulda recognized it right away; "That's way too TALL to be a bike?" I briefly thought it was some sort of motorized unicycle. Then it hit me. Wheel stand! In any event, he started out good, nice weave and, with one wheel, it just doesn't take long for things to go...

...awry.

Bike more or less spun in it's lane. Him, too. Pretty decent little 'rag doll' he had going on for a second or two.

It sometimes surprises me how hard some of the beginner students will slam a bike on the ground and then get up and continue
