Wheelies and lane splitting are two things that motorcyclists do that are not explicitly forbidden under Texas law but sometimes get people tickets or arrested anyway. The problem, in my opinion, is that the law on reckless driving is written so vaguely that anything can be charged as reckless driving, even if it violates no other law. Is a wheelie wilful and wanton disregard for safety? Note that the law, as was quoted, does not mention others. If it is dangerous to yourself, it is an offense. Under that concept, isn't riding a motorcycle in and of itself reckless? Isn't driving in traffic?

While I don't condone the action of the sport bike group mentioned, it would seem to me that they have conclusive proof that they were not driving recklessly. They slowed down all of the other traffic to be able to do their stunts safely. They should be written tickets for impeding the flow of traffic, but not arrested for reckless driving.
