If your measuring speed/wheelying on the road i've done far, far worse, they are not riding quick by any means.
Just looks reckless by wheelying in built up areas and poor undertaking and overtaking, anyone can do that.
What i dont do is nail it through built up areas (including wheelies) there is absolutely no point! You probably wont get caught but your plate will get noted and you will get a visit from the plod! i slow down to whatever the speed limits is going through villages that are on any route that i ride 95% of the time.
I do treat a lot of my rides as 'maxing it out' but i'm careful as to where and when. e.g. week night, early evening on a country road that you might come across a handful of other road users in 20 odd miles.
A lot of consideration is taken as to the possiblity of any police activity and we change routes frequently as a result.
I ride with a small group of guys who know the score, we tend to avoid normal bike meeting up places as we just want to ride open country roads without any aggro.
As always there is a time and a place. just my 2p
