the passenger looks like he's having a blast but the rider looks as though he is about to shit himself.....

The rider is Ronnie Smith. He was a racer and writer for Performance Bike Magazine. Unfortunately, he was killed on a scooter early January 2003, while riding near his home in England.

I first saw this pic a few years ago, so not sure if it's been posted here yet or not, but thought this was crazy

Yeah it's posted here somewhere. Heard the guy on the back died in a motorcycle accident not too long after the pic was taken.

I wonder how hard that thing came down off the wheelie?

That was the curse for doing a wheelie on Goldwing. Somethings you just don't do. It is not natural I tell you.....The bike was possessed.

It was the guy on the front, sorry to say I forgot his name, but he was a racer and motojounalist in England.

Geez, I have a Road King, and I can't even imagine doing that. Whatever didn't break going up would sure as heck break when you came down:D

Those forks must have felt some serious PAIN when he brought it back down...
