Re: Is it legal to wheelie?
Classed as not being in control of the vehicle, as is riding no handed...

Re: Is it legal to wheelie?
I believe its potentially a dangerous driving charge.A bit like speeding at three figures plus a fair bit they tend to regard it as DD almost automaically and you have to prove it wasnt.Tricky when plod gives evidence that it was.

Re: Is it legal to wheelie?
No worries here, I cant get my bike to wheelie yet, the few times I've tried.
(Flame away...) I guess under the right circumstances you could try claiming it was accidental? lol |

Re: Is it legal to wheelie?
You'd get away with a little one when pulling away from a stop, but if you looked like you was trying to do one, then i guess they would shaft you.
