Contemplation

The moto wheelies have become so integrated in my lifestyle that I'm starting to lose count of them. They're more of a contemplation. I contemplate wheelies. By the time this project is complete, there will no longer be a need for counting... only contemplation.

The Wait Is Over

I cannot speak of how many years I've waited and wanted to pull motorcycle wheelies as well as I can now. It's been a long, long, long road. And it keeps getting better.

Today in ---

1992: "Oh man, I'm totally going to pull some power wheelies on my Honda sportbike in a few years, when I can afford to get one."

2002: "Gettin' that front end off the ground is a no-brainer and holding it till the revs run out is easy enough. How do those Star Boys ride for miles though? Is it the jackets?"

2012: "I've become "that guy" who is always terrorizing the neighborhood by riding his motorcycle everywhere like it's a unicycle."
