Motorcyclist Killed While Popping A Wheelie

This motorcyclist was not too smart when he pulled a wheelie in the dark. The driver didn't see him and turned left in front of him. Ya can't fix stupid!

Darwinism is especially effective on motorcyclists. Survival of the fittest tends to cull the herd.

I agree with you.

I don't know how it is anywhere else, but here in SE FL these SQUIDS are everywhere.

Not a day goes by that I don't see some future organ donor doing stupid shit.

I give them a hard time, tell them they're giving us all a bad name.

I agree. If they want do that crap then do it on a parking lot or closed course some where. But then, they couldn't bask in the "watch me WATCH ME!!!!!" glory. It has no place on the street and I'd turn in their license number (if you can see it) if I could record it. We can police our own. I'm not saying a lot of them don't have more skills than me, just don't do it on public roads and make all cycles look bad. Lots of people would love to legislate ALL bikes off the roads and these stunter dip shits only add fuel to that fire.

I wasn't the MSF instructor that day at the site I have taught at, when a student shows up late for the range exercises, with no excuses other than he over-slept. If a student is only 10 minutes late for the on bike exercises we can let them attend. Be he showed up over an hour late, thinking he could just get caught up as the range exercises progressed.

Oh, by the way, he shows up on his GXSR600, riding on his "temps". When he found out the instructor said he could not complete the course because he missed out on some exercises, he was not pleased. So he took off in anger, popping a power wheelie across the school parking lot,...annnnnnd, crashed his bike by over doing it. He's not hurt, other than a major ego blow. Just shows anger has no place on the seat of a motorcycle.

Wheelers must be aware of prevailing scenarios otherwise stupidity will welcome them all the way, some riders ignore stunt motorcycles and start wheeling on any motorcycle which can be much dangerous not only for them but for others as well.
