This is a pretty cool video if you like seeing people demolish their street bikes.

they forgot to include this in there...

edit: the link is broken, it was a short clip of a guy doing a wheelie with his girlfriend on the back, about half way through she goes flying off chest first on the ground. there wasn't much for protection....

Yeah - not good ...I am all for enjoying two wheels, but that is stupidity.

another example...guy here in town crashed right in front of the plant a week ago...doing a standup wheelie on the 4 lane and tried to go between 2 cars with it stood up...he clipped one of the cars mirrors and down he went . He's not dead, but messed up REAL bad. Not sure about the recovery...a friend knows the guy...we shall see. not real bright...save it for a closed course fellas. JMO - JKE

I agree 110%. Guys like this ruin it for all motorcyclers. People see this type of behavior on the street from a small % of riders and assume everyone on any bike has the same mentality of these guys. And like Shovelhead said, he and others like him, have to pay the price because their insurance goes up due to other people's stupidity.

I kinda think they've probably had years of practice and experience starting with dirt bikes. Just never had much common sense. In the first movie, there's a clip of a van on the interstate that slams on brakes smoking his tires at the sight of the bikes doing wheelies around him. My wife and I were in the right lane a couple of car lengths behind the van towing our 5th wheel, the van was in the center lane and the bikes were cutting in from the left lane of I-75 while on the rear wheels at above 70mph. The van stopped and the ol' man got out and checked his tires. The bikes went on along with the Superduty that was carrying the film crew. We went on to Venice wondering if we were going to come upon a crash scene. I'd like to buy the first video to see if we're in it just for cheets and giggles. One other time we were in Tampa when the "Dream Girls" video filmers were traveling beside us in a convertable with two nude silicone girls in the back. We probably won't buy that one...

Probably the StarBoyz Hannibal. They spent some amount of time in Fl. Everything they do is on public roads with traffic.... - JKE

EDIT - I agree about the dirt bike experience...however, a sport bike is a completely different deal. I've done both and it was like starting over so to speak.
