you know, if that doesn't give bikers a bad name, I'd say it's all the 20 year-old-somethings that go around crotch-rocketing around town.
I've some some make poppy-wheels on urban roads. If that doesn't tick me off and make all the car drivers think miserably of motorcycle owners, then I don't know what would.

Melena - it's the same video of the guy laying back and texting while riding down the highway on his bike (in India)  I think this was in another thread...

On one hand I can appreciate the skill that requires, one can't help but wonder when he will make it into the Darwin Awards.

Every time I go to get my prescription at the local Pharmacy (slow thyroid for anyone curious) wearing my riding gear, the Pharmacist ALWAYS asks me if I'm the one that does wheelies all up and down the street in front of the store.

Good grief!  There's lots of us out there with this.  I've actually got the autoimmune disease so basically I have no thyroid gland.  So, I take my thyroid meds every morning.  It's amazing that your doctor even found this.  

Actually, I did pop a wheelie on my R65 one time (but not because of the thyroid).   :o  Scared my riding partner half to death!   :D  Some of you here may remember that - I think it was on the previous forum site so it was awhile ago.   Just try it from a stop on a little hill turning left onto another road, rev up the throttle and forget to let out the clutch until the last second (oh yeah, I need to let out the clutch - Pop  :-[  )  I've learned how to do that much smoother now.   ;)

Add me to the list. Had my thyroid surgically removed 11 years ago and have been taking 200mcg a day ever since. Doubled up the dose by accident a couple of times by accident and didn't notice anything.

Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

Let me count them:  Thyroxine like you take.  

I take Levothyroxine.  And also Armour Thyroid (natural from a pigs thyroid  :o ) which has T3 as well as T4 and probably others.  If your body doesn't break down the T4 to T3 it seems added T3 is needed.  Lots of doctors haven't figured that out, but once I did and got on something with T3 I felt much better.  Takes at least a couple of weeks to feel any better though.

Synthroid is another.  

All I can think of right now.
