Sometimes I really envy curling. He's always having fun.

I agree...while his middle aged comrades are sweating out some bullshite family function, curling is out busting wheelies with 18 yr olds...serene ignorance, I admire it.

serene ignorance

excellently summarized.

This is precisely the reason people don't like motorcyclists in general. Also why I refuse to ride with guys on sport bikes.

Oh well Darwin willing they will weed themselves out of the population soon enough.

Cheers,

There was a couple in their 20s as well. As far as the age thing you are as young as you feel. I am sorry some of ya'll aged before your time. I am glad though that I didn't start doing this until now because if I did start in my 20's I would be probably be dead. It was thrilling though.

Can you do those freeway wheelies dude?

I know it might not be the most mature thing to do what we did sunday but man it sure was fun it was like a modern day holister rally on the freeway.

curling - take these guys out on a twisty road and see how fast you leave them behind. there's a WORLD of difference between being able to "stunt" and being able to handle the curves.

Most of the sportbike riders around here that I ride with can hit the twisties and the wheelies with no problem. The same thing happens here every weekend when it is nice. There is a loop that starts in the downtown area, heads out to the country and back into downtown that we ride all the time. There is a good mix of straights and twists, so you get some stunting and some real riding in all the time. The bros in my area are all doing the full stand ups, rolling stoppies, rolling burnouts, two up wheelies (full gear though always with my group, no chickies in shorts and flip flops), two up rolling stoppies, etc. We were thinking about filming some of it for a website or something, but we never get around to it. This one dude in the group has an R6 and that guy can ride tank wheelies as long as he wants, literally. We watched him ride a tank wheelie for at least 7 miles on a weekend trip. The only reason he put it back down was because he was bored with it. It a fun sport, but make sure you wear your gear and that your bros do to. And remember not to be a jackass and pull shit like this in traffic. There is a time and a place. And regarding the insurance rates thing, well in my state, insurance is not required, so most of the sport bike riders don't carry any. If they drop their bikes, they pay out of pocket for it.

Thanks crak, yea I guess I shouldn't seel myself short. I remember one time I was riding with some friends in the hill country and I left them almost 2 miles behind me. When they finally caught up(seems like it took them forever) they said man, you are crazy I have never anybody accelorate on a downhill sharp turn.
