OK, you've got the bike covered. Now were're you going to get a beater body?

Thought this thread was going to be about MCs and cellphones...

And recently I saw a guy take both hands off the bars and dial his phone, on 2nd Ave., in Manhattan during rush hour. That's what I call a deathwish...

i tried it again a bunch of times today but still covering it so i can easily hold it again is something happens.

the bike really feels stable and going straight but i dunno how long it will do that since my speed drops fast.

Vermi, if you keep this up maybe you should write up an obituary thread just to keep handy so your parents can post it for you.

Why are you so dead set on trying stuff completely outside your skill level instead of actually learning to ride? Are you a latent squid? Have a death wish? Played entirely too many video games and completely lost touch with reality?

I did one of those ONCE! For like 2 seconds in the middle of the night on an empty road and probably slower than whatever that guy's doing. And it was still scary as hell. I'm not doing it again.

OK...so it's been proven it can be done. Excellent, Smithers...release the hounds... Can ANYone provide ONE good reason to do it? What exactly is the point?
