Until today I was a virgin

[xs11jack]

I have heard and seen videos of street racers doing stunts at speed, but I have never personally seen it happen until today. It was mild in comparison to some stuff they do, but anyway I am driving down a service road and glanced over at the interstate(70) and there in the fast lane is a jerk on a ricky racer bike sitting on the gas tank. He slid up so far his thighs were jamb under the handle bars and he had is hands in his pockets. Missouri isn't known for their wonderful road maintenance, in fact, I think we rate about 47th in the nation, anyway, one little bump and one little wobble, and he would be roadkill. Literally. My wife commented that she hoped he would never have kids, we don't need stupid genes in the gene pool!!! I said with anyluck he wouldn't live long enough to breed. End of story.

He probably just hit the brakes too hard.

There is a guy I work with that tried to STAND on the tank of his GSXR750. Only problem was his first attempt was at 50+ mph and over railroad tracks.

You can guess how that turned out. He is pretty banged up, but he'll ride again. He is a good kid, but gets caught up in what the "cool" guys are doing. Reminds me of myself 10 years back...

A friend of mine had a kid working for him last year on a landscaping crew.The kid was riding his gsxr between jobs.He had a fullface helmet on and cut-offs and tank top.
He pulls out on the thoroughfare ,ahead of my friend who was driving his truck.
The kid wicks the throttle and wheelies and then climbs up on the tank.Sitting on the tank he puts his legs out like a V and by now hes doing about 90mph.
The wind grabbed his legs like a sail and then he went into a tank slapper and crashed right in front of his boss(my friend).
He was one big piece of road rash.Last I heard he was going through skin grafts.I dont know how long his initial hospital stay was but I understand it wasnt a pleasant experience.

Does a juggler count?

This was not really a high speed thing or trick riding. A few years ago when Louisiana's helmet law was not in effect (Governor Mike Foster was a rider) I saw a guy on a Harley talking on his cell phone, smoking a cigarette and drinking a coke all while doing about 40 mph. I think it qualifies more as juggling.

I saw some goofball wheelying up an onramp the other day here in NH. I was just waiting for the CRASH!

you all have to come to minnesota i have been on the freeway where i am doing 70 in my truck and in good traffic and all you can do is sit there while there are 15-25 rice rockets ridding the break down lane wile most of them are doing at least 125 and the other half are doing wheelies at the same speed

they may think that's impressive but i think the life expectancy of a person who's no t "special" enough to do those stunts is a lot more impressive.

Hey,

Not fair! That post heading is misleading....
