Default Dust Devil Crotch Rocket

Yesterday when I was out riding I came up on a slow group of cars on a back country road. There was a sport bike in front of me just blipping the throttle and moving up like he was going to pass. Sure enough, he pops out in the left lane, pulls a wheelie and proceeds to pass six cars doing his wheelie. Off to his left was a field that was just plowed. I noticed a dirt devil twirling through the field and heading toward the road. Sport bike is still in wheelie mode as this dirt devil is almost on him. He puts the bike down to finish his pass and starts to rock left and right as that dirt devil hit him. I kind of wanted to see what it would look like if he had been in full wheelie mode with that wind hitting him....but I guess I will have to wait....that is if he is still alive for another ride.

I don't dislike guys that ride crotch rockets. I do, however, dislike SQUIDS. People can make fun of Harley riders all they want, but SQUIDS are actually a danger to themselves and others.

Come on that's a little harsh. I know a pretty decent number of sailors and they aren't that bad.

Hey, I was a Bubblehead. I'll let the Squid sailors fend for themselves.

Edit:

Not bad coming from a Jarhead.

There's a difference between riding a wheelie ( and this ol 'boy can still get the Ultra off the ground ) and being an idiot out in traffic ... It doesn't take much/many brains to be stupid .. Pick a safe place to have fun and keep it off the highway ...
