On public streets yes. I dont care what people do at events meant for this sort of stuff though.

Its that whole "time and place for everything"

Things I notice about the OP's image..
No gear
clowning around on public streets
it appears that the OP is riding on the wrong side of the street for the photo op.

..and the line in his signature;
"Wheelies never hurt anybody" - apparently he's never seen the rest of the clown posse posting their crash vids on youtube showing guys getting road rash (no gear) from failed attempts and riderless bikes running into other bikes, cars etc.

..and while I defend your rights to personal freedom, expression etc. I have to question your actions on public streets that perpetuate the negative spotlight on our motorcycling community as a whole.

As said once already, there is a time and place for everything, clowning around on public streets is never the right place, and never a good time.

This doesnt give bikers a bad name if it is done in a proper location. Most real stunters have a bike that is not even registered. They put it in the back of a truck, and bring it to their location of choice, and do it in locations which does not harm the public. Good stunters only need a parking lot size area, and dont really go very fast.

Public road stunting, now, that does give bikers a bad name...

I was practicing wheelies on my 250 but this kats low end isnt very good and snaps loose at 7000 rpms ive been to scared to even try one on this bike worried id flip over backwards so for now ill keep two wheels on the ground. Past that I would like to learn how to parking lot stunt some circle wheelies and all that but not on this heavy bitch (my kat).

As mentioned before, look at the whole post that includes the pics. Nuff said. I don't care if you ride your bike off a cliff as long as it is not on public streets.

[KAT TOY]

it's probably on the center stand. he'll learn soon that wheelies can hurt.

[gsxkat1100]

I wonder where you hook the straps when you want a picture like that on a trailer?

[teddy]

Now that have internet again everyone calm your tits for the following reasons
A) on this particular day it was 103 outside I'm notwearing full gear its amazing I had on pants not shorts
B) my tagline isn't something you should take serious its an inside joke between I and some friends no I haven't done a wheelie on this but I have on my old r6
C) I was on the right side of the road which was two lane
D) this road happens to be. A back road where drag race because the cops don't bother us here because they don't care
E) if I do happen to fall with no gear very been through a lot worse than road rash

And for an u future asshole or asshole comments. I kindly ask you to fuck off

I have to say that when I first saw your pic I thought the bike was stationary. Yes we go off sometimes about what is said and shown here. The Katana rider you find here usually seems to be on the been there done that side of the age spectrum. Younger riders typically do more stupid things ( probability of getting hurt) on bikes and we comment on it because we've been there and done that. A lot of guys here think its stupid and it is. When we were 20 something we did it too. Hopefully for you, it stays fun and games and not hospital trips or worse. If it does you'll look back when your older and think the same as the guys giving you a hard time about it
If you wanted respect for your post, the first mistake was posting a pic giving everyone the finger while doing something that most here considers bad riding. Mentioning in the post that conditions were as safe as possible would not have hurt either. Don't take this as a personal attack, your young and having a good time.
If you have read many posts on this site you would have known that your post would not go over very well. If your post would have had good pics showing you stunting in a safe place wearing more protective clothing, the responses would have been very different.
All said and done, its your bike and your body. As long as your not endangering others while stuntin have fun. And if you could find a safe place to stunt and take pics (without the bird thanks) post them. I would love to see them. A video would be even better.
Just remember that its natural for younger riders to do what is "just havin fun" and for us older riders to bitch about it. But what we are saying does come from experience and as much as you will disagree, you'll be here too some day.
Keep it safe and have fun.
