#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....)

#3 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.

#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.

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