as a sportbiker myself i had to see the vid.

this doesn't make bike riding dangerous per se, but the laws of stupidity and physics are immutable.

do stupid things without adequate protection and you will get hurt. just shows the power of the human ego. i've known plenty of amateur "stunt" riders, budget "road racers", "wheelie" kings, etc in my riding days. used to hotdog with them years ago on route 35 from crystal springs reservoir to santa cruz. and i am the only one left riding now, i could wheelie, but didn't like the abuse it put on the steering head bearings, i was too fussy about my guzzi lemans.

hint: if you are buying a high-perf sportbike buy it new, because invariably used ones will have been thrashed by fools.
