I do it every once in a while, on good stretches of highway on those longer rides. Funny to see the expression of people as they ride by. O/L doesn't like it as much when she's on though......
Can't remember but it was for not having at least one hand on the bar.
I will ask him and see what he says. At the time he was riding down
the 505 freeway from Vacaville to Winters to see if he could make it and
behind a sign sat a highway patrol
I rode standing straight up on the seat a couple of times 30 years ago for a very short distance. Sometimes now I wake up in a cold sweat remembering those stunts. Those throttle thumb screws can lead you down the path of temptation.
ADRIAN, Mich. -- A man plans to ride his Harley-Davidson about 300 miles from the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan to the Ohio border without using his hands to steer to raise money for Parkinson's disease research. Phil Comar of Adrian told The Daily Telegram that the Sunday ride is in memory of his father, Robert, who died in 2008. He wants to raise $3,000 with the ride for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
The 61-year-old has been riding motor bikes and motorcycles almost 50 years, and said he'll steer with his legs and by leaning. An extra gas tank has been added to the back of his motorcycle so he can go nonstop.
Great cause.... but really?? from the UP to Ohio, with no shifting? no braking for traffic? oh... yeah... no "counter steering"?
