A while ago I was riding my motorcycle up I-95 (VA) to work. I was in the passing lane, left lane, and going about 75 MPH (the speed of the traffic) in heavy traffic.

I notice a Crotch Rocket in the far right travel lane fly through the traffic doing a wheelie. He never put the front wheel down for over the mile I saw him speed up the highway and disappear over a rise in the road.

Since I was driving over 30 miles up 95 I never did see him splattered across the highway like I was expecting.

I traveled the I-66 and I-95 corridors in Northern Va. as a commuter on motorcycle for seven years. It was my sole source of transportation. 80 miles a day. Year round. Near death traffic encounters at least twice a month. I had a full head of hair and steady nerves when I started. You should see me now!

I have to be honest, I’ve always wished I had that level of control on a bike. Even though I’d never use it, just knowing how to handle a bike that well would, I believe, be beneficial to accident avoidance. That said, riding a wheelie in heavy traffic is just asking for trouble.
