That you have no statistical proof that wheelies are more dangerous than riding on both wheels

4 didn't work out so well for you last winter, what makes you think 2 or even 1 will fare better during summer?

Yeah, I didnt have some sort of data sheet for this when I was driving.  

70% reduced visibility
70% reduced braking ability
>70% reduced steering ability

If there are other motorists around, a wheelie constitutes Reckless Driving, a misdemeanor.

Everybody I know who had a bike, crashed at some point.  And I've investigated enough motorcycle crashes that were either fatal, or very messy, like limbs detached.

Don't skimp on a quality helmet, bro.

I had a dude on a "kamikaze" ride next to me, around me, in front of me trying to race the stang way back on the TSP.  I didn't give in, I was doing 80ish.  He rolled up next to me once he got the message and then took off doing a wheelie, over 90 mph easy.  I was scared for him.  He was wearing shorts and a tank top.

Congrats, ride safe and get good gear! Have fun!

And if you're going to wheelie, like anything it is about practice practice practice and working up to it gradually. Just sayin

I'm looking at an Arai or AGV Helmet and Alpinestars leather. If I can get the TechAir system I will.

Make sure you try the helmet on first... Depending on the shape of your head, you may find one brand more comfortable than others. My Aria always fit me better than my Shoei... Best of luck.

Please don't be that douche that blacks out his windscreen...
Real riders have to replace their rubber due to sides of tires being shredded/chunked

I'll never have to replace a front tire

Sold mine after two friends were killed within a month.  

Given that I weekly have to avoid a crash while driving a car, I'm afraid to ride a bike on pubic roads.  Too many sober soccer moms and elderly and people texting.

I have a 05 Kawasaki Z1000 for sale. Around 8000 miles on it. New tires and I had the front forks done.
