Man dies doing wheelie

#6  Dying while doing incredibly stupid things is a god-given right, and should not be taken away by anyone. Now hold my beer, I wanna show you something.

Bravo, BH! However, I'd note that down here in the South, it's "Now hold my beer. Hey, y'all watch 'is."

#5  I had a friend who prided himself on being able to go through all 5 gears doing a wheelie on his bike. One day he was showing off for some girls on an "improved" road (i.e. gravel that's had tar sprayed on it) and got a bit too enthusiastic and went over. It being summer he was just wearing shorts and t-shirt, so he ended up as one big scab of road rash. Fortunately that was the extent of his injuries - except for the bruised ego. We all found it to be hilarious.

#2  Just a cycle doing the wheelies? No fun!

My first car used to do them.... A cousin even had bumper rollers on his souped up mustang.
(He really scared the hell out of me in the Conn Turnpike... rolling on the wheelie rollers for about a mile....)
