DOT to Make Wheelies Legal by 2009!*
In a statement that has shocked both the motorcycling community and the public at large, Department of Transportation spokesman Melvin P. Meyers announced today that federal and state highway codes will be amended with a bill that promises to legalize wheelies for certain riders as soon as mid-2009.
"The government no longer feels it necessary to regulate whether motorcycles travel on two wheels or one if riders are properly trained to perform wheelies," Meyers said in a press conference early this morning. He emphasized that wheelies will only be legal when performed by riders who pass a practical wheelie test and earn a "W" exemption on their driver licenses.

Love it man! Nothing like a good April Fools!
Sick joke while Florida is passing a bill to seize bikes for wheelies further intimidating motorcyclists.
goldiron,
We usually try to report on the most relevant and timely news, but it’s April Fools Day and we’re having a little fun… thanks for understanding.

I’d like to have the right to seize the property of anyone that I deem to be doing something stupid in a car or on a bike, but then I’d be the only one on the streets of Manhattan.
Ontario too is lot’s of fun these days. The Police have the power now to sieze your car/bike on the side of the road and leave you standing there - if - they feel you were behaving badly enough.
From where I sit, the block long wheelies in rush hour most certainly qualify as behaving badly. The law is written that 50 over the posted limit qualifies as seizure material.
Suffice to say it has generated some VERY spirited discussion on various blogs.
Goldiron…fer cryin’ out loud - CHILL!
that s***s not even right!!!
OH And also the bill for trail bikes to ride over the roofs of cars in traffic jams has been passed.
