Whereabouts in the North of England doo you live/ride? Because I don't want to be around when you pull one of your "stunts". Although I wouldn't mind turning up a couple of minutes after you bin it on a bend to take photos.

*****!

Has He/she(the topic starter) never offended anyone here. And here you are throwing insults about? Voice your opinion in a civilized manner.

Thought you lot were above petty name calling.

agreed i bet you have all done something stupid in your life (probably in your youth) its what makes life worth living though personally i wouldn't do it standing on a bike each to there own impressive though

Shame it's such a low res picture, would love to see the expression on the face of the driver you're passing...

if you can do stunts like that and it gives you a high then thats great and no one can really tell you to not do em but when you are doing them on a public road with risk to hurting an innocent member of the public it is not real clever is it?

A good rider thinks about the safety of others and not just themselves...if you can not to that you should have that licence taken away

accidents happen when you dont expect them. i backed into an electric gate last week.

result £901.14 damage bill. wasnt expecting it or being stupid, simple.

sorry mate but are you honestly saying you werent being stupid,crashing into a stationary object?

Sorry but my step mum reversed into bollards outside shops once and then in her finest hour,caused tons of damage to our van when she backed into a......skip a pretty frickin big stationary object

i think the point is u never know when ur gonna have a brain fart.

Fair enough for having the balls, gonna have to say you'd be better somewhere private though! Never catch me doing owt like that! Only knee downs, wheelies over humpback bridges and small stoppies up to the lights for me im afraid, my **** is staying on the seat

Whats your reaction when you see drivers sounding their horn or waving, do you think its appreciation of your riding skills!
All I can say is watch out for a green ford focus heading your way! I'll be the one waving with both hands
