Wheelie complaining

[zachary]

Teach more idiots to drive down the highway at 80+ with no way to control the bike cause the wheel is in the air as they pass cars like they are sitting still.
i enjoy the new population control! gets the idiots out of the system :D

So using that as an example, dragstrips teach us how to street race, and open track sessions teach us how to weave in and out of traffic at 120 MPH?

Because you know how to wheelie doesn't mean you have to do it. Granted, there will be people who continue to do it, but I think it would be cool to learn the right way to do it. Just because Bob Bondurant offers a school of high performance driving doesn't mean that as soon as you take the course you have to go out on the highway and prove you can take a turn faster than the next guy.

where is the nearest Wheeile Track to where I live?

Tollway!;) Honestly, there are stunt competitions and once a week stunt sessions at closed down airports, and things like that throughout the metroplex.

Honestly though, the "school" will probably be full of fucktards.:( I could only imagine what would show up, and the wrecks in the forthcomming weeks if there was ever a "drift" school....

I did that wrong I guess, was a very blanket statement, I just feel there should be some type of screening process for this.

I have taken schools for road course racing and such but I dont apply those to the tollway and also 635. I have seen what seems to me a very high up-tik in idiots riding at very high rates of speed with their front wheel in the air up and down the tollway and also 635, I personally wouldnt want to be the person that the parents/wife/whoever came back to with a civil suit when one of those folks says

"my husband/son/etc. took some wheelie school in Dallas and 2 weeks later he was doing one down the highway and lost control and was killed, I feel the wheelie school was at fault because he didnt have the skill to do one until he took this class. They provided him the means to kill himself he didnt have before."

Don't you think the same could be said for dragstrips, autox's, roadcourses, etc?

When I was working up at Denton Dragway, we kept being contacted by a guy from Oklahoma that was a trick rider. They sent us a video of this dude and it was skillful to say the least. Alot of the stuff on the video was done at old airfields. it also looked like the show drew a $$$big crowd$$$.

Too bad the insurance wouldn't cover it.

I figure some of you might know this rider's name.

I need to stop before this guys thread is officially highjacked.

Too late. You guys chill before I have to get to some Gorilla Modding and pimp slap these posts. The peeps at GMH are a benefit to us so lets ease off them.

I'll leave it up to you if you want to delete your posts and start a thread of your own where you can complain about wheelies all you like.

[MattB]

Yep, sure do, however I dont see many under 25's at those, minus the drag strip, also takes a little money and skill to do those also, not a $3000 bike and enough idiocy to pull up 30# of front weight with inertia on your side.

I would just suggest the guy doesnt take under 23 or 25 even. I need to stop before this guys thread is officially highjacked.


An age limit? When I was out at Motorsport Ranch this weekend, most people there were in their early 20's it seemed. Hell, with a few exceptions, I'd have to say 90% of the people there were in their late teens or 20's.
