Knew one kid did that, wrecked within 3 weeks, rebuilt the bike, wrecked again shortly after, breaking his thigh bone and a few ribs and had to be lifeflighted...but he "knew" how to ride...

I'll never forget a salesman ridiculing me for not learning to wheelie my bike, he was all impressed his mom had bought one for him and he could wheelie within a few weeks, and gawd I was such a loser for not wanting to do the same. I just looked at him. I think he was trying to flirt. Epic fail. He wrecked too, then quit riding.

Mr. Douche could ride. But what made him a douche was he rode like a complete ass. IMO, every aspect of riding has a time and a place. Doing wheelies at 90+mph down a 45mph busy street is not not the time and place for it. I love how he never mentions his wrecks (from stunting) he's had to his victims until he sells them a bike. Even more ironic is a couple of weeks before he sold the poor guy the 1000, he crashed a brand new 600 that wasn't even his. It was just sold and he was taking it for a test ride. Went too hot into a curve, hit some gravel and got nice road rash for his troubles as well as totaling a brand new bike. Come to think of it, that may have been why he quit. Between owing money on a bike he crashed out of carelessness that wasn't his and being somewhat of a cause to a person's death.....

I think your guy was flirting and trying to show out. I don't know about you, but that's the biggest turn off.
