The one accident I had about a year ago I pulled a mean endo trying to not rear end some suv that cut me off. To bad the bike all the way over [:'(]

Actually, it's not a bad idea to practice "emergency stops" because of all the idiot cagers out there. I was going thru an intersection a couple weeks ago, following some p/u truck, when he slammed 'em on. The car in front of him suddenly turned into a business; wasn't his fault. I jammed on the front brakes and pulled a stoppie without even trying. It's a good skill to practice.
honest officer i was try to stop safley ..lol

OK, OK, I know it sounds full of crap, but it's the truth. When you see brake lights about 15 feet ahead of you and the vehicle is stopping right now, (when you were accelerating thru the intersection a split second before!)it sure beats an "assured clear distance" ticket.

I had a buddy that tried to pull an endo, and ended up doing an end-over-end.

Then again, when I was in Korea, I did that on my bicycle... right in front of the gate guards.
