I don't agree with his gear, or lack there of, nor the wheelie but the shot looks alright.

I like the shot. What shutter speed were you using for this and how fast was he going? My brother asked me to do a wheelie shot for him too one of these days.

And yea, as a fellow rider, I must also agree with the above on the "lack of gear."

His gear choice is dumb.
Selective coloring doesn't do this image justice.
The bike is nice. I want one.

I like the shot, but will agree with the gear comments. However, I worked an accident last weekend involving a CBR 1000, and this guys gear looks like full leathers in comparison. Kid was wearing a tee shirt, bathing suit, and flip flops. He at least had a helmet on, but it wasnt buckled. Sounds like perfect wheelie attire, no? Laid it down, hit the curb, and was ejected into a tree headfirst, leaving the helmet in the street

Who really cares what his gear is. It is his choice. If he wrecks he will have to live with it. It feels like my parents are on here lecturing me. Photo is pretty neat I think.

Frankly, he's the reason my insurance rates for a sport bike are so high.

So yes, we DO get to lecture because it effects us.

And if no one says anything, the OP or other readers might think that riding without gear is cool, which its not. Hopefully, someone is enlightened by us ripping someone we will never meet.
