Wow- I saw a bike wipe out today on the interstate.
Some young guy on a crotch rocket entering the interstate in front of me. He decided he "needed" to do a wheelie while on the ramp for some reason. He lost it, the bike ended up 50 feet down the roadway on the shoulder. He was lucky the car right behind him was able to stop in time. There were at least 8 cars behind him entering the interstate and by some miracle everyone stopped while he collected himself on the ramp. I stopped to see if he was OK and he seemed to be uninjured. I told him that although he almost killed himself, he looked good while he was doing it:)

2. Excellent work! He was probably telling himself that the wheelie was a mistake
and that he should ride safely from now on, but your compliment reminded him of how cool it truly was. Now, someone in the future will also have the pleasure of seeing this twit almost kill himself... ;)

6. And that is why if I ever get a motorcycle, it will NOT be a crotch rocket.
I don't even want the ABILITY to do something that stupid, even though I know I'd never do it anyway.
