You have to see this guy.  I'm willing to bet he won't be around for long.

Exactly. He never has to ride a bike again, and he'll still be a legend!

Since when are you not allowed to text on a motorcycle? I guess I'd better stop.

Long, long ago (in a galaxy not that far away), I was riding a greyhound bus across the long, arrow-straight, mind-numbingly boring Canadian prairie, and some guy on a hog sailed past, feet up on the bars, hands behind his head, chillaxin'....   :D

I was so jealous.  Wouldn't ever do it, though.

Had a buddy used to STAND on his HOG and cruise around in circles in the parking lot.

Still riding - 45 years later - little nuts - HD V-rod for fun and Haybusa for speed  ::)

Another take on the whole thing,
Your riding down the highway just trying to get where your going alive.
The yup in the beemer next to you is in his own little texting world oblivious to anything else around him and drifting back and fourth from lane to lane.
You look over as he drifts over into your lane and you say to yourself "he must be the best driver in the world" ?
Not exactly what I'd be thinking.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  I have a dry sense of humor. 
I was being sarcastic.  The only one  thinking this person is the best
rider in the world is the one idiot on that bike.

No misunderstanding, I'd say the 2 of us pretty closely aligned on the subject.

That was crazy funny Indian road traffic  ;D !  I can laugh while watching on the computer screen but it may not be so if he is riding next to me on the road. Stay away from him on the road !

yeah, I like the "now y'all remember, you take a training course, you can ride a motorcycle just like that" comment from the announcer.

I took the course, and I can't ride anything like that!

I haven't tried.  I'm askeered!   :o

But, you know, that's a sort of bike sport I could get into.  There should be more of that for John Q. Public to participate in.  I'd love to take the slug down a course like that.

At first I thought he was demonstrating the new motorcycle ride test and was a bit worried as I have yet to get mine.
