how many of them are bone stock from the showroom floor though.... the kid knows how to ride there is no doubt about that. I have seen a lot of people try stunting and you look at them and say man is that guy out of control. But when you watch him he appears to have total control and knows what he is doing.

getting a twin up isnt as hard as youd think..especially with gobs of tq.

i do find it funny how 99% of the people preach everytime someone is stunting a bike. what makes it any better speeding and tipping your bike over and dragging knee? lots of pics of the people dragging knee on this forum are on public roads. so you have full gear on and thats ok? what about innocent bystanders driving by? seems a little hypocritical. so since you cant/not your thing to do wheelies or stunt those people are idiots?

I have to give you that playing on public roads is dumb and I have been dumb lots of times. Stunting on a public road seems ( I say seems because I am not a stunters) seems a bit dumber because you are giving aways hlf of your control surfaces the moment either wheel leaves the ground. Here in NH we just had a guy riding with out a helmet (optional here) Do an "Indian Larry" where he stood up on the seat of his HD (thus giving up all control of the machine) only to have the bike veer off the road turning him into a bi-pedal house plant. Then one of his riding buddys appears on camera syaing I'm kinda supriosed I had seen him do this a couple of other times and it went well. Duh!!

ppl that drag knee on public streets are idiots too, so are the street racers, and pretty much anyone who breaks the law. so thats all of us.

the preaching here was cuz he sold a 10 and bought a victory to stop stuntin, and now stunts the vic. imo thats dumb

Ive seen a bone stock 883 get wheelied, Ive seen a bone stock shaddow 1100 get wheelied(Honda), both good friends of mine. Those werent kept up for too long, ballance point a lil harder to find, how ever the shadow was 12 o clocked a few times. At a local stunt spot yesterday watchin a young kid on a sportster 1200 pullin the front up in 1st holding deep into 2nd gear. Main mod he done was some mild ape hangers(Think about it, it does help him).

Im not taking away from your boy at all in this post, it does take some skill. What I am doing is pointing out some of my boys with skills. The thing the have in common is that they were all nasty at wheelies on sport bikes. Its not the bike so much as the rider. Look at "fiddy" stunting.

BTW that victory is a Trque monster Im sure. Its 100ci motor isnt it? That much power down low and standing on the seat... I wont be suprised when I read the post about him looping it.
