Why I don't stunt
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching an organized stunt show at motorcycle gatherings,Those riders are very skilled for the most part, and with the proper mods to their bikes like larger rear sprockets and nerf bars, they are doing it the most correct way, but what annoys me is when people ask me to perform wheelies, stoppies, sitting on the tank, and standing on the seat.
It irritates me because: 1. My bike has no HP!
2. My bike is fairly heavy
3. I don't want to prematurely wear out the clutches
4. I don't want to crash
5. I don't have the "courage" to stunt
6. I like racing better
Just want to also say that it bothers me that every teen out on the street is impressed by a bike that does stunts. You know what would impress me? Seeing a sportbike do what those freesyle motocross guys do ![Emot LMAO](images/smilies/emot-LMAO.gif) . They have my utmost admiration ![Hail](images/smilies/hail.gif)

Also want to add, "I wish I had a bike with gobs of horsepower and suspension compliant to the most demanding roads so I can too enjoy riding on 1 wheel every once and awhile" ![Smile](images/smilies/smilenew.gif)

Don't sweat it Benster.....stunting is not for everyone, and the people asking you to stunt, have no real idea what bikes, IMO, are truely made for. I'm like you, I like watching someone else stunt on their bikes, but its not for me. The occasional power wheelie is quite enough for me. ![Smile](images/smilies/smilenew.gif)

Whenever some punk kid gave me the wheelie sign with his arms I'd let go of the bars with my arms and hands posed in the same riding position and I'd pump them up and down in the air...I guess that's what he wanted.

Yeah man, really, just ignore it. A lot of people who has NO CLUE about riding imitate what they see on TV - literally! So their perception of sportbike is - "Hey, he's a Biker Boy, so that means he must do wheelies!" These are also the same knuckleheads who goes out and buy/steal bikes just so they can up their "cool" factor...the real SQUIDS...when the trends fades, they all sell the bikes and move on to the next trend...you however, will continue to ride because you LOVE riding and that's all there is...

Well, you're prob. not going to want to hear this but I think that anyone who rides should at least be able to do a little wheelie. I'm not talking a 1/2 mile standup or anything but at least a little 1st gear sit down.

That's not extreme, that's just Max Biaggi doing his thing after the final lap of the 500cc MotoGP. GOTTA LUV IT!!!

I like watching it and think it was fun to do with cheaper bikes. But now with the price of bikes I just enjoy riding. Paying $9000 then mods I would rather keep the bike out of the repair shop. I have a lot of respect for the guys that stunt but it's not for me anymore.
