Sounds like a case of driving while under the influence of testosterone. A combination of youth, testosterone, a sense of indestructibility and a powerful machine many (almost half) of us succumb to in youth. My wheelies were small and I was careful around people. I think.Comment

Can I be a "recognition expert"? It sounds dead easy. "You want to know who did those wheelies on that massive pea-green bike? You see that man over there doing a wheelie on a massive pea-green bike? That's him."Skilton, of Ellis Road, pleaded guilty to six speeding offences after being identified by recognition experts.Comment

Years ago, a mate of mine spent the morning working on his bike at the side of his house, as a few of us sat around drinking coffee and chatting.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostSounds like a case of driving while under the influence of testosterone.

Having decided that his work was finished, he fired it up, said "Right, watch this!" and blasted off down the drive doing a wheely.
At this point the front wheel dropped off and went bouncing down the drive. He was so startled that he fell off the back of the bike, which continued down the drive on its rear wheel before crashing into his neighbour's car, parked on the road outside.
He had to explain all that to his insurance company

interesting this has been posted......
a guy in my work is constantly bragging about doing quite frankly ridiculous speeds on his motorbike
he is a total fanny and i am seriously considering an anonymous call to the law to report him - not sure what they could do right enough, maybe give him a warning?
any thoughts on this?
report him?
mind my own business?Comment
