I saw a guy in Myrtle a couple years ago at HB Spokes do a wheelie on a bright yellow Screamin eagle Ultra. He was trying to be cool. Instead of doing a burnout leaving(it was the burnout pit), he revs it up pops the clutch. He almost went over, then he got squirrely and almost landed the bike on the railing.. Real easy way to F**k up a $28K+ bike... ??Why?


If your going to do it, make sure your in a wide open parking lot so the only thing to get hurt is you or your bike.
