in small towns you can get away with quite a bit. here's a list:

(this has taken place over a period of 25 years)

1. Popped a wheelie on a fully dressed 1982 Honda Goldwing. That was very ugly.

2. Jumped (more like a bunny hop) a late 70's Kawasaki KZ650.

3. Got tired of sitting in traffic in 110 degree heat in Ft. Worth, Texas so i climbed the shoulder of a freeway on my XL600r and hit the service roads.

4. Managed to get a Honda Trail 70 5 feet in the air using a home made ramp. The landing was violent enough to send me flying into the air. I still remember the sound of the rear suspension letting out a healthy "WHACK!"

5. Started a 1972 Husky WR250 six speed with car wash air freshener. The piston and cylinder was worn pretty badly making it a nightmare to start when cold. I had washed my old pick up a week prior and found a nearly full can of that overpowering air freshener and kept it. on the day when we needed the husky going, i did the cigarette lighter test and found it to be damn explosive. The best part was that the exhaust on the bike smelled really really nice for a few seconds.

6. burned a rear tire to the point of exploding on a Honda Spree.

i have tons more, but im going riding
