Motorcycle wheelie fail...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV8b53zDulM
Lots of things wrong here:
No helmet
No jeans/jacket/boots/gloves (Really, shirtless?!? Skin sliding on pavement sucks...)
Two guys (an unwritten no-no in my book)
Wheelie on a public and busy road
Lack of physics know-how regarding a 150-lb rear passenger acting as a lever on a 350-lb bike
Videotaped evidence that showing off can lead to major fail.

Ouch... Road rash even from a bicycle hurts let alone the speeds encountered on a motorcycle.
Showing off has a price...

I have had sunburn on my back and shoulders, and that was an uncomfortable couple nights of sleep, I can only imagine the pain that shirtless dude is going through

How about wearing a couple helmets at least? What a knucklehead.

If I'm not wearing a shirt in a motorcycle wreck, I honestly don't want to be wearing a helmet either. Dying in the crash is wholly preferable to the alternative in this case.

I like to keep at least 4 wheels underneath me at all times.
