Stoppie
If a job's worth doing..........It's worth paying someone to do it properly

Have you ever done a stoppie while filtering through traffic with a pillion?
Happened to me once. It was on a bridge crossing the highway after taking the offramp in between a mini-bus taxi on the right and an 18-wheeler on the left (both standing still). As I got to the rear corner of the taxi the front door flew wide open and I had to STOP or hit it! I did stop but on the front wheel. My wife weight on my back made my arms buckle and my chest broke the screen. Fortunately it was right next to the truck's wheel so the bike (400VFR) came to rest against it and not on the ground. We weren't hurt and only the screen was broken. Had to check my underwear though to see if was still clean.
