We were filming my mate doing wheelies on his TL1000s a couple of months ago..... needless to say, the camcorder devil came out to play and he flipped it.....
All ok - just smashed plastic...
Unfortunately we missed filming the flip itself... doh!

First, i am not a bike owner.
Second, i am not going to comment on the merits of pulling wheelies.
Thirdly, i am glad no one was seriously hurt.
BUT....
I would just like to say that knowing people in the medical profession who see the results of such accidents. For godsake buy the most expensive leathers you can afford!! You may not realise it, but your life really does depend on them in the unfortunate event of an accident. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt wont do a lot when you're sliding along the road at 70mph!!
