Well, that's about the most awkward riding positions I have ever seen.  He's got it all wrong.......and put it on film.

I just watched it again, and if I met that guy on the road, I'd kick him and his bike over as I blew past. :D


That was very sad to watch.

Get some spot mirrors and quit looking behind you when you're not even changing lanes. :o


I hope he's not a member here, but even if he's not, he's still a giant Member. ;D

Kinda like the anti-NASCAR. Right turn - straight - right turn - straight - right turn - straight - right turn - straight..... ;)

I don't know jack jimbob sh*t about hanging off the side my bike, but I did learn one thing from his video:  when I finally do start some track days and advanced rider training, I'm thinking I'll mount my son's Go-Pro behind me so I can watch what I did wrong and learn from it.

A lot of the more serious guys do that as well as have other riders follow them. I've only attended two advanced rider training sessions but they taught me quite a bit as well as being an absolute blast!

I know we all do this sometimes, but this guy is pushing it. And in jeans while white-lining a concrete curb . . .

On-ramps are the worse damn places to test your Rossi Factor. There's always so much crap lying there, dirt, glass, including spilled fuel (hit some spilled diesel sometime while banked over if you want to experience some thrills!) that I try to resist the temptation to goose it.

Agreed. We all start somewhere. Some continue to learn, some don't. Seems like his mistake was not in trying to learn but putting the vid on the net.
