There's a video on YouTube showing the same idiot as in the first pic. The problem I have isn't that he's liable to win the Darwin award. Good for him when that happens. The problem I have is that he's liable to take someone out with him. Like one of us when we're passing him.

I recently met a guy who said he and his friend wanted to go skiing.
But they didn't have a car and no buses 2+ hours to the mtns.
Last minute they put on all their gear- *including ski boots* and got on an early 80s kawasaki Z bike and headed north with skis lashed over the front pegs and the rear turn signals.
I asked him how it went he said "naw ya know it was so damn cold da whole ride but of course we were obliged ta ski" lol.

I just think of that skin peeling off as he slides down the road.
Ouch!

IF you have ever had the ER nurse pull road pebbles out of your knees and elbows (yes I have) you know this isnt something you want to try. Most folks have a short memory and shorter attention span so when he goes down it will be his last time. Either dead or too scared to get back on it again, all because he was an idiot. I dont ride in shorts, have worn flip flops 2 times in the summer, and find as i get older the helmet is easier and easier to tolerate and the better half appreciates that!

I have rode as far as 7 miles, sitting up on the back seat with my hands on my knees. Never once touched the handle grips. This includes curves LOL and one Rail Road track !!
