I had a guy pass me one time on a city highway, riding no-handed, arms across the tank, and his chest resting on the tank. He was going about 80-85mph. Crazy is as crazy does.

Ran into a guy at the hardware store who was running flip flops. Watched him kick a shovel in those things too.

Tough guy.

That's crazy, you know sitting like that he's gonna get sunburned. Hope he has a sh*tload of gremlin bells on that bike.

Saw a guy riding once and he was at right angles to the bike with both feet on the same side. Had to do a double take.

I saw a dipsh!t outside of Nashville on I-65 "skitching" alongside his Forty-Eight at about 90mph. What a moron!

For those that don't know what "skitching" is, picture barefoot skiing alongside a boat with a barefoot boom.
