Never, because my shorts would be severely stained, and I'm not a good enough rider to do that. I can scare myself perfectly well, just riding around the DC area, not to mention doing really silly things. Yesterday evening I was sitting in traffic at a stop light and some kid on a skate board on the sidewalk shouts at me "do a wheelie". All I said was: "not on your life". Then it occurred to me after traffic started moving again: just where would I do this wheelie while in this kind of traffic? I'm looking out my window....it's raining for the first time in 17 days!
