You just need more self control and personal discipline. Once you've obtained that, the wheelies will stop. Or get a couple of tickets..... Which ever comes first.

I also do the same but I keep it to 28th street... or an open bridge at night. Mainly it's all at 28th St since it's 2 mins from my house. If I get the urge to have a little fun I'll take it out there.

no tag = no ticket.

But i think im done riding on the street for a while. I have a deposite on a k6 gixxer 1000 and i think im going to back out and not pick it up.

Prob buy a new dirtbike and find a track bike.

tired of playing the cat and mouse game. One day the cat will win (if i go down). And i realy dont feel like doing jail time.
