    A word of warning!
    If ever you attempt to pull a wheelie to clear an obstacle, learn from this pic. I think should have lofted the front wheel a just bit higher to get over the roof.

    Luckily for me, I wasn’t wearing a helmet. Otherwise, chances are I would have scratched it up really, really badly. I can’t afford to get a new helmet, they cost a fortune.

    But seriously, it wasn’t my bike in the pic. It was something I saw on another site. One thing worth noting is just how tough the blue bikes are. Just look at the damage it caused to the other guy.

    Tough blokes ride tough bikes! I am sure Ollie will concur.

    Yes I do it happened in QLD, I saw it on the morning news, the couple driving the on their honeymoon (something ended up shagged :laugh: ) when the woman in the car said look out, old mate on the WR was wheelstanding down the road and well you can see how it ended up!
    Then the morning show went on and on about how lucky the couple had been and bloody motorcycle riders blah blah blah blah
