Rideamotorcycle.com LLC Editor at Large: Bill Heald News Editor: Evan Williams Webmaster: Mark Lesselyoung Publisher: Dean Adams Xtreme Bonehead Xtreme Riding on crowded Streets By Evan Williams It's one thing to perform motorcycle stunts on a closed course. Another to perfom the occcaisional wheelie on a public street when the coast is clear. But what level of idiocy is it to pull out the stops in crowded traffic while being videotaped?

An aptly named Ohio man, Robert Cripple, went hog wild for the cameras while local newspaper folks where doing a story on so-called "extreme riding". In addition to playing into the fears of non-motorcyclists, Cripple gave the DA ammo in a case against him for wreckless riding.

Cripple was found guilty of all ten counts after refusing a plea bargain. The case is being appealed.
