that's pretty messed up, when i got a wreckless driving, he made me go to the court date and then dropped it down to too fast for conditions

I think if there was a state law here in FL about wheelies and you can only get a small ticket depending on circumstances, not so many bikers would run.

Now if the person is doing wheelies in a neiborhood with children playing. ok go with reckless driving. you are not showing any regard for life or property.

but if your going down a desserted street hittin wheeliez, then give what is appropriate for that infraction. Today to much of what we do depends on another human beings mood or personality. Horrible

I've found that the southern state troopers are more strict about stunting in public, or even speeding for that matter. Probably because they're more used to seeing bikes year round.

In New England, the coast especially, the cops I've encountered never seem to care about motorcycles. I can't count how many times I've wheelied right by troopers and nothing has happened. I was talking to a New York State trooper (the hardasses of the Northeast) and he said that they're discouraged to pursue any violation by a motorcycle, especially sport bikes, other than routine traffic stops, like running a stop sign, etc. etc, unless it is absolutely necessary. His explanation to this was "Sport bikes are more likely to run, so we tend to let some of their bullshit slide".

So, I decided to take a trip to Pennsylvania, figuring I could pull the same stuff. Lets just say that guns were drawn, handcuffs were put on and I owe the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 300 dollars.

I got hooked for standing it up in front of the court house in oklahoma city. I looked behind me and there were 5 fu**in cop cars. the first one pulled me over and got out and walked up to me and was cool because( I pulled over immediatly, I mean he didnt even have his lights on I just knew it was going down, they like that) anyway he came up to me and gave me the whole "you know why I pulled you over" routine and then said "well if one of my buddies had pulled you over you would be going to jail but I have a bike just like this (01 gixxer6) and I just want to know how you did it" that was cool as hell. I got lucky

I got stoped for wheeling once too. I got off easy though, the cop liked bikes too and just gave me a speech on how dangerous it is. It's true its up to them what to charge you with, it always is.

My and my buddy go out riding late at night to practice. Under teh cover of darkness and nearly no traffic giving u more room to manuever its less likely to get stopped i think. Plus it looks sick when the headlight hits the tips of the trees that are on both sides of the road :)

You might want to stick with " i didn't know it would land me in handcuffs" stupidity helps.

If you try to quote another police officer, it just might urk them enough to take you in. This is what sucks, there are no laws against wheelies. NONE! but there are careless driving, and reckless driving that the police can use at THEIR disposal. So when you are out there doing wheelies, it is totally up to the cops mood. so if the cop didn't get "any" the night before, you are going to jail. Do you really want to put your freedom in the hands of a cops mood. I don't. I will now find back roads and secluded areas to practice!

there are laws against wheelies, i've got it. "operating a motorcycle on one wheel" but i got it reduced to improper tread depth. i'll take non-moving violations all day long.....
