A few years ago, a guy I know decided to impress a girl as they left a
nightclub. So he tried to pull a big wheelie on his Kawasaki Mach IV 750 (a
bike known for having an explosive power delivery, bad handling and worse
brakes). Unfortunately, he overdid it and dumped himself off the back of
the bike, which proceeded to bounce down the street before coming to a halt
against a car. A car which happened to belong to the girl he was trying to
impress. Of course, there was about 100 people watching this.
