Observations about Motorcycles

Guy pulls up to a stop sign (4 way) on a rice rocket. Car in front of him.

Guy pops his front brake so that his ass end comes up 50-70 degrees, then, slowly, the ass end of the bike comes back down to the pavement. The car in front goes through the intersection. The guy on the bike goes up to the stop sign.

I go through the intersection and look back at the motorcycle. He jacks his throttle and pops the clutch but misses, and the thing screams like a shot rabbit. He tries again and pops a wheelie which he holds as he goes down the street. I lose him in my sights.

Guy on the ricer was wearing a white tank top, mesh shorts, and flip-flops.
