I personally wheelie just about everywhere I go. Up, across and down, doesnt matter. But I can SEE just fine (bike). And with a rider/bike combined weight of less then an empty qwad the damage I can do is far less then a 1-2 TON car.
With that said, I have no more right to the sand then anyone else here. But it simply is not that cut and dry when you mix in experience (or utter lack there of), alcohol (ZERO for me when I ride/drive) and the unknown other people all around you. The number one most popular vehicle type for noobs is a qwad or rhino. You cant blame the "type" of vehicle anymore then you can blame a breed of dog, or blame a gun for murder. Its all about the human element, period.
Some of you may disagree with my opinions (nothing new to me) but I personally have chased down and roosted the snot out of many cars, qwads, and Rhino (and kin) because they did something stupid (cut your line, looking the wrong way, panic stopping right in front of you etc. etc.) I look at it this way, people forget the middle finger 5 minutes after delivery, but they REMEMBER a face full of sand MUCH longer. Especially if they have a sweet paint job. I look at it as a "crash coarse" in "ack right". The stupid ones wonder why it happend, so I have also stopped to explain, but do this at your own risk... :B
In the end what will happen is if things keep going like they are then eventually legislation will step in and big brother will put a major damper on our fun. Until then, ride long, ride hard, whatch where the H%LL you are going and tear it up...Thats what ill be doing...
