      I don't care, I'd still give it a shot. Of course I'd only try it if I was using either a dirtbike or trials bike and had lots of open area, away from other people and no spectators in front of me... and I'd be in full gear. I have no desire to do any of that with a street bike though. I think it would be fun to have a trials bike for doing stuff like that.

        Hmmm...

        Maybe that's also why it's so hard to find a decent used bike for a decent price here in "America's Wang". All the Stunters are tearin' 'em up Seriously though I wonder how many bikes that takes off the road? There really does seem to be less used bikes than there should be. I rarely see people on sportbikes that are more than a few years old. Lotsa certificate of destruction and rebuildable titles on cycle trader though. Sigh.....

          Could very well be. Prices in Florida are also artificially high compared to the rest of the country because motorcycles here don't usually rust heavily (no snow, salt on the roads, etc - clean rain -- unless they're parked within a couple hundred yards of salt-water). There is a time of year that they are more plentiful, though...

            I still want to learn, but it will be on a stunter bike in a parking lot... not on anything i'm afraid of messing up. Also i'll be in full gear... unlike those retards.

              I think if you do it fully geared up in a closed enviroment with a beater stunter with sliders, huge sprocket etc than its not as bad because those bikes go so much slower.

                I think the guy with R1 was hilarious!! How can you POSSIBLY be that pissed off when it was 110% in YOUR control over what happened? Moron. The bike was probably new and he had to tell him mommy he lost it..

                  I love watching slow speed stunts, they make the bike look like it wieghs the same as a 10-speed.

                              Pain heals, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever.......... LOL.

                              I have spent way too much on rebuilding my bike and will be spending a lot more on it. I dont think I could bring myself to stunt it like that.

                              But, I am not above the occasional wheelie or stoppie, but not on a bike that I am going to end up with almost 3 times as much as what i could have just bought one for. I think if the stunting bug starts to bite I would buy a junker that it wouldnt matter if I dropped it.

                                My only real desire as far as stunting has been wheelies, I was thinking about getting one of those $400 little throw away dirt bikes to get it out of my system. All the parts are interchangable with the Hondas of the same size. But if it got too trashed, I would just toss it, hopefully by then it would be out of my system.
