It is much better to get in front before you do a wheelie, etc. Riding up through a pack on your rear wheel is not the safest thing in the world.


Great rules....but do you really want to go down the "stunting" road? I've been on some group runs where an experienced rider who knows what he's doing does a couple of wheelies or whatever, which then gets a couple of inexperienced riders to think that in a group of 50 it's a good time to try something new....The outcomes weren't so good...Think dominoes with blood involved.

Just wondering.

Paula!

I agree!

But these are just guidelines, I can't control what everyone does I was just pointing out that if you are going to pull any wheelies be safe about it. Things can get out of hand that's why we have guidelines. I don't want to see anyone get hurt either. I also cant stand folks who think a wheelie is dropping the clutch and getting the front wheel in the air for 50 feet then slamming the bike hard on its front end, to me a nice wheelie is very controllable and usually 1/4 mile to 2 miles in length.

Wheelies are very dangerous! Wheelies are cool! Wheelies can hurt you! Wheelies make you feel really good!

Tito - I'm hoping that if time permits maybe you could teach me the way of the Jedi Knight Wheelie fundamentals. I really never got the hang of it - I was more into burnouts.

Maybe, and I'm serious here, you could do a wheelie clinic for those interested! :-)

Hey Tito!
I'm good with whatever the "group conscience" decides on this.

It't don't matter to me,however.............The first person that comes crashing into me and my bike from a goofy action too close to the pack,If I can get back up on my dogs after hitting the asphalt,I'm gonna fuck them up! Speed. My 2 cents.

SAFETY

Postby TonUp » Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:21 pm

That's why we say way in front of the pack. We will go over common sense stuff prior to the rides. On Thursday night during the summer months we have sport bike night, very fast! Usually 6-8 riders, and I have to go over stuff constantly, so far no one has ever gotten hurt.
