wheelies & stoppies!!!!

Soad (without a motorcycle), again you're speaking from nowhere. Riding a motorcycle is NOTHING like riding a bicycle. Taking curves well IS more fun that stunting, and more satisfying to be sure. Those that say otherwise have usually not explored real riding. It's not about scaring yourself, but in the satisfaction of having accomplished something. I've done both, and the rush is much bigger on a road course than in the alley on the back wheel.

I believe the only reason to stunt is to show off and gain attention. I believe the reason to ride well in the twisties is internal, and personal, and private. That's not to say that it can't be shared. That's what motorcycling is about. The rest is just flamboyance.

Different strokes for different folks.


Instead of arguing about which one is more fun to you, lets give some practical advice on safety, locations to ride, etc, that can benefit our new member.
