I'm with twpd with his comments. I am not a killjoy but theres a time and a place etc. Seeing someone wheelying through a town centre just winds me up. Its the same as those cretins that I come across that go flying through the 30 and 40 limits in my neck of the woods. They come through at well over the limit making a load of noise and winding the locals up. Then sure enough out of the town on the open road you end up catching em up and passing them coz they cant ride that well. For sure in the past I used to hoon around with a group that pretty much rode like you see in that video but would never behave like that in the towns etc. I stopped doing it a number of years ago after one funeral to many. Things do go wrong even if you are not riding like that but you are lucky if you get away with those kind of actions for long. I've lost count at the amount of times I have witnessed mates bin their bikes through one wheelie too long and too high. Its scary enough on a deserted road in the middle of nowhere but the thought of someone getting it wrong in a town centre at 50 or 60 mph or more while perhaps your wife and kids are stood waiting to cross the road does not bear thinking about.
