want to see some duck walking, go to Laconia! I'm always amazed at the lack of
control some people have. However, I have been know to duck walk while shutting the bike off stuck in traffic, but only if it's for a short distance, plus the cops watch out for people doing that.
If I go to bike week now, I go on the weekday, the hell with fighting all that weekend traffic!

I have several friends that have moved to trikes and some that should consider it as an option to continue riding. You can see the pain (I can't describe it) in their face if you mention it.

Maybe the awesome experienced riders should have a training class for all the sucky duck walking riders.
