He's got much bigger ones than me and a probably a whole lot more skill. Hope he has lots of luck too... he's gonna need it! I watched a guy do a wheelie down the freeway at over 70 mph in Seattle and saw one in the bay area too. Had the same thoughts. Also thought when and if these guys plant it, they're gonna hurt someone.

On the other hand, glad that bike and others like it weren't around when I was younger, I'm sure I wouldn't be here now.:laugh

I don't know if he really has "a whole lot of skill". It's not hard to pop a wheelie when you have a lot of power on tap. The trick is learning to set the front wheel back down smoothly; which he isn't doing. I'm sure his fork springs take quite a beating.

I wonder if he's wearing jeans, t-shirt, and riding gloves, like one of his friends.

I can do some sweet wheelies on my bicycle..

R50, that certainly did no remind me of my R50 in more ways that one. We never had roads like that and the numbers I see on the speedo? Certainly far above R50 capabilities.
