MAn, I have been really good. When I use to ride I would probably pop a wheelie every mile or so. But ever since the cop incident(them cuffs hurt) I have mellowed tremendously on the freeway

.But when there is whole family giving me the wheelie sign you know when they put their hands out like they are holding imaginary grips and lean back like they are popping one. I feel if I don't pop one I am letting them down.

You know bumming them out thinking that sportbike riders aren't the new outlaws like the angels and banditos use to be. That we have wussed out and ride like we are on valuum or something. So I look back 3 or 4 times now for the popo on the freeway behind me scan the road ahead for smokies drinking coffee on the side of the road and pop'er up. Ride it for a good ways even turning my head towards the car and giving them a nod. Then I stand up on the pegs at 90mph or so do a semi Christ air give them a bow while they go by. I look into the car and they are smiling and clappin and I feel like a hundred dollars. Is wheelieing on the freeway really that bad? Hmmm? And do you pop it up when you prompted or do you let the cagers down as they go on with their boring lives in their boring cars? You should be ashamed.

Oh and if there is 2 or 3 hot chicks in the car that bike is going up if they want to see it or not.

Yes it is bad, because even though the car with 3-4 people in it are entertained the other 20-25 people who you wheelied passed or around are pissed off about it and probably calling the cops to complain.

It is just the American way, a few people ask while the majority get scared, panic, or bitch their congressmen or Local Reps about it. Then it gets back to the PoPo as you put it who crack down on all riders, and makes the drivers you pissed off hostile to bikes any other time they see them.

I'm not saying it isn't fun to watch sometimes, or fun to do (never did a wheelie in traffic and no desire to), or isn't skillful riding it just causes more problems then it is worth.

I take that as a no. So what do you when they make that gesture to you? Do you just shake your head no or do you just ignore them?

Well it depends. If it is relatively free in front of me and behind me with little or chance of hurting someone else, I'll do it. I have had a lot of parents with younger children who have asked for me to do one and like I said, if it is clear, sure. I agree with the hot chic thing though.

i suck at wheelies, never tried hard to learn to be honest. obviously the wheel comes up now and then, but only when im cranking it on.

i guess im more like Chris in that i prefer to ride fast than stunt, but you could argue that riding fast on public roads (dont have easy access to a track as an outlet) is just as hazardous as popping mono's on the freeway. one thought tho, ever tried stopping for a blowout up ahead when you pushing a ton on your rear hoop?

gotta have fun, what ever floats yer boat. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

in the city i get a lot of kids screaming to wheelie. but i dont i just rev it and look at their dissapointed faces

I guess I don't spend enough time looking inside cars while riding the freeways to notice, because I've never had a whole family give me any sign they want to see a wheelie. But I don't think I would just because they wanted me to. I don't know them, probably never will. Not worth the potential ticket, nor the risk of some unknown thing happening. Not for a complete family of strangers. I ride because I love to ride, not because I'm an entertainer.

See I guess I am both. I love riding and I love entertaining. I guess I am just a born showoff probably because my father didn't give me enough attention. I remember one I was riding on my chopper with my dad and some other friends of mine out to the country. Well I stand on the back pegs on it and I sketch my left foot on the right side of the bike about 80 or 90 mph. My dad came up to me at the next stop and said I guess you do that crazy stuff because I didn't give you enough attention when you were growing up. And I said yep, so if I ever die doing this crap it is your fault. He didn't know what to say.

I guess I don't spend enough time looking inside cars while riding the freeways



got a point there mister.

BUT, you ever check rear windows and mirrors to second guess what the twat in the cars going to do next? i can pretty much tell when someones gonna change lanes before they know it by keeping half an eye on mirrors etc.

so, seriously, whats the 'wheelie sign'?

I said look not stare I am constantly moving my eyes everywhere looking for cars trying to kill me.

Yeah that is a no. Someone ask me to do a wheelie I just ignore them.

If I want to do a wheelie i will find a Country road and go there to practice or do one. I am not that good at it, but even if I was I would not be doing it in traffic.


I have had drivers who do stupid crap just to make my travel more difficult and I know they did it on purpose because they either looked right at me, or one was a car floored it to pull out in a small gap (on a country road where it was just us) in the group to break of the group. Then when the guys in the back tried to pass in a passing zone he would swerve to block.

Only time I did a wheelie around a car was when a guy was slowing down to about 10-15 under the speedlimit then as soon as we could pass would floor it. So got a good enough spot to pass, got up beside him then popped a power wheelie the rest of the way buy as http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/flipa.gif sign.

lol, twat......people just don't say that enough. I would never do a wheelie in Los Angeles traffic because it's hard enough watching the twats around me, let alone trying to perform a wheelie.

I can’t do a wheelie anyways and I really don’t have the desire to learn. I’ll stick to watching the guys/girls who are good at it. However, I don’t think it’s cool on congested streets or highways.

I live in a town where there are hardly any twisties and everybody wheelies for kicks. So I learned plus I though it was one of the coolest looking things ever seeing someone doing a standup down the treeway. Btw I don't wheelie either if traffic don't permit. That is silly.

when someone asks me, ill normally just pull the wheel up for a second or two and then put it back down, unless the road is empty

On the freeway, yes i will pull it up. Usually I glance back for the police and then pull it into the bp next to the car and ride it for a few miles till I get bored.

I have to agree with most of this -

but sorry I like my carrer to much to ruin it for a stupid wheelie to please a few kids on the freeway I guess. Back in the beginning (my beginning that is) - I thought it was all I needed to do in life. it was college then so no job. But now I know I can control myself and don't care about what people want. Its what I want. I get enough adrenaline going with track days, so just save it for that.

I just ask them for a $500 deposit to cover any speeding or reckless tickets.

I, too, used to love showing off in traffic...but one too many run-ins with the po-pos, and now I make sure the roads are completely clear before I pull 'em up.

showing off is fun, it comes with stuntin, every stunta luvs the attention...Im not saying thats the reason stuntaz do what they do...but its a nice little plus when u see kids in "aw" or the little hottie give ya a wink or a little show of her own...but it gets u in trouble I refuse to do anything simply because random ppl want me to. Now the more ppl ask the more i actually get annoyed that they dont respect that NO MEANS NO (damn now i know how that chick felt in the club hahahaha) but for real its cool every now and then but not doin one for everyone that gives ya a little sign.

I do not wheelie when asked, but not really because I have a problem with it, but more because I am too new to wheelies to feel safe poppin' one every time someone wants to see it. I don't know where the rest of you live, but I live in Tampa and get someone asking for a wheelie just about every time I take the bike out. I also do not understand why people in cars really care what bikers do... How is an Interstate wheelie putting anyone but the biker in danger? I understand that people in cars do not want the bike to hit their car and damage it, but 400 pound bike verse a 3,000 pound car, no contest. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

and the people who call the cops on guys doing wheelies are the ones who wont help someone who is gettin their ass beat, they just stand there and watch.

fucking people who call the cops are fucking pussy ass fagots.

thats all i have to say.

well then don't do wheelies on 4 lanes of freeway with 20 other squids on bikes around you, holding up traffic, swearving between lanes, almost looping. I could give two shits who you are - you endanger me or anyone else in that matter you don't deserve a motorcycle. You embarrass the sport a lot of us love.

haha stfu - if you want to do wheelies go out with a few friends on some country roads where traffic isn't a factor. Then quickly get to slow stuff where actual stunters go and then you can find a nice parking lot to enjoy w/o bothering anyone.

How this has turned into such a pissing match is foolish by itself ?? I do not understand why everyone has to make a big deal out of everything?? I say…do what u want? Fukit!! Me personally I think when people say hey man tare it up …. Nine times out of ten that is what happens u fuk ure shit up!! Probly cuz u r all pumpt up on showing off!! Now that is not to say I have not had to run my ass off to get away from the so called popo?... just because some kids in a Honda wanted a show….that is just a fools natural intentions?? I know I am a pro at being stupid but I have found that even if u r really good and skilled it don’t make any difference shit still happens!! I love to act a straight up ass!!! I have got in shit because of it but that’s life now days I ride like I want to!! If it feels right im all over it if someone is egging me on ….. fukum!! They need to go out and buy a video!! Then they can see what they really want to ….some guy wreaking his shit all up and going to jail for their entertainment!!!...I do not think freeway wheelie is wrong for asking this q???I do think it is wrong for every one to criticize him for it!!! Every body has done it if they haven’t they are too pussy or just plain gay birds?? I do think parking lots good spots and yes if it is ure thing ..Track days are the way to go!! All I ride on now is an airplane or drag strip or parking lot??? It is much less dangerous and I do not have to think about the possibility of running?? But that is not to say I wouldn’t bust on out for some kids or honeys if the situation was right?? Im not here to criticize im just telling the truth about it!!!...... So I guess my answer is probably not but ….maybe!?!?!?

Thank you ziptie. I don't know why there is so much hostility towards fellow riders but I think it is because some people just don't know how to wheelie and it fustrates them so they hate on those of us that do.

It is because what you do does come back on us when we are riding around town or on the freeway. We get cut off or tailgated or hounded because the shit everyone sees you all doing on the freeway.



Thanks Zip for taking it to the place it should be done.

And people who think it is ok to do this shit on the freeway in traffic needs to that there are other Riders that take shit for this.

He asked the question, I'm giving the answer. So yeah, whether you are stunting, racing or just generally acting like an asshole on public roads and highways (I could care less what you are up to in an empty parking lot) then you are in the wrong, pure and simple. And as much as you don't think or care it reflects on the whole group and we all eat shit for it at some point or another cause everyone's guilty by association.

haha this has grown -

freewaywheelie - to answer your question, I consider guys who do highspeed wheelies just basically high speed wheeliers. Its how you start I know. But I do see those that do slow stuff as the ones that are actually skilled and have more control than any highspeed only guy. Sure to get to that point of talent they started with the freeway stuff. But - if they crunch on some legit parking lot - usually its just come plastics and maybe a busted stator. On the freeway, its blood splattered, brains crushed, and any kind of motorist behind them swerving to miss, or affected for ever for running the guy who looped it over.

yes i've had friends die, end up in a halo, and be chewed up and down for wheelies on the freeway ( he was in leathers)

All I'm saying is - do them somewhere else

I primarily stunt in parking lots. I spend 90 percent of my time riding stunting in a parking lot. But when I am on the road I do it too. It is my lifestyle. Thats the way it is and you telling me that I am making a bad name for you will not change it. I do not do it when it endangers others and when things are tight and hairy I simply refrain from stunting on public roads.

To be honest, who is safer to be around on the roads, a guy who has years of riding experience in all conditions that chooses to wheelie his bike, or the guy who rides once every two weeks to a bike night that is afraid to use the front brake for fear of flipping?

And once again, if you dont like stuntung, then just ignore this portion of the forum. It is here for stunters to enjoy and discuss that aspect of sportbikes. GET OUT-

We know it won't change anything, but just making our opinions heard as is our right.

It has never made a difference all throughout history what one group viewed as inappropriate and what another did not.

So you have our views.

Buh Bye.

Well yes to which one?



Yes to the initial question:

When People Want You to Wheelie on the Freeway Do You Do IT?

Man, I can't believe all the crap I get from people on this topic. I mean I thought this was the stunt forum. I am not posting in the "I am too bad of a rider to have any fun on a sport bike so I go the speed limit forum "am I?

One more time I use to wheelie all the time on the freeway I loved it. Still do. But I don't like sitting in the back of cop cars because there isn't much leg room and them dang cuffs hurt like hell. But I don't want to run either because it is a felony now and I have a bunch of guns that I like. So now I don't wheelie much at all on the freeway except if some family(or a car load of hot girls) really urges me to do it. Thus why I asked the question in the first place.

The way I look at it is it makes me feel good to see them smile after I do it. Inotherwords I for that brief moment made them happy and that made me happy. If that is so wrong, flame away at me I don't care ya'll are just figments in the world of cyberspace.

I still think most of the flames come from people that either don't have the skill or the balls to do it on the freeway in the first place.

LOL True dat. And if I am in jail I don't want nobody using there balls either.

I dont know anyone that has gone to jail for doing wheelies. If you immediatly pull over and act respectful things usually turn out ok. They may impound your bike or give you tickets but jail is very rare and only happens when you run. It isnt a felony to do a wheelie. I have personally been pulled over multiple times for wheelies and have NEVER recieved a ticket for it. For that matter I have been pulled over around 14 times in the past 2 years and have never gotten a single ticket. It is all about being courteous and respectful.

Dude, I think being courtesy and respectful always helps. I have been pulled over three times for doing wheelies and didn't go to jail so I guess you have a point. Except if the town you live in is hot when it comes to sport bikes. We have had too many young kids dying lately and the whole town is in huffy about it. Most of the ones that died were just inexperienced riders going to fast. But the media made a big deal about stunting on public streets so the cops are out to bust us.

I dont know anyone that has gone to jail for doing wheelies. If you immediatly pull over and act respectful things usually turn out ok. They may impound your bike or give you tickets but jail is very rare and only happens when you run. It isnt a felony to do a wheelie. I have personally been pulled over multiple times for wheelies and have NEVER recieved a ticket for it. For that matter I have been pulled over around 14 times in the past 2 years and have never gotten a single ticket. It is all about being courteous and respectful.



its dependent on the cop. and yes it happens. not many people are anywhere near the speedlimit when they are doing wheelies anyhow. So for some states even just going 20-30 over could you an all nighter with a guy named bubba http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

True, going 120 in a wheelie and still accelerating is different than rolling 30 or 60mph at the speed limit.

See that is my problem I like those 120 mph wheelies. They are a rush.

Ive only done two or three at those speeds. I would much rather hold one at lower speeds and take corners on one wheel.

thats how i feel. 50-70 mph wheelies are the best. nice and controlled... forget that 120 mph stuff i'll let you have that freeway wheelie, scares the craaap out of me.

Yes holding a wheelie at 60ish MPH does take a bit more skill than 100+ but 100+ is balls to wall. OG style 100mph wheelie standin on tha front pegs WHAT! good old days when stuntin was scary and the nac nac was one of the sickest tricks. and whos says the fast wheelie cant be at BP haha

being nice to the po helps but not always...too big of a toss up and risk to pull over and watch my shit get taken away and thrown in a cell.
