Yesterday while running errands with the family, I had the pleasure of witnessing a couple of aholes of the twowheeled variety.....
First one was a guy on a cruiser of some unidentifiable brand holding up traffic on I65 - doing 60 in a 70. I guess you don't have much throttle control when you're standing on the seat! That's right folks, he was standing on the seat arms outstretched like JC on the cross. I quickly passed him (so I didn't have to run over him) the whole while my wife(a newbie rider herself) was freaking out. As we passed, he was sitting with his legs hanging over the handlebars, the look on his face was like a puppy or a three year old - all proud saying look at me! Yeah I'm looking and you're still an ahole!
The next group was a sport bike with female passenger both wearing the required sandals,wifebeaters and no helmets, and a cruiser sharing a lane who seemed to be enjoying a game of leap frog, waving each other up and back. Sportbiker must have been running in too low a gear- he let go with the throttle hand to wave on his buddy and the bike got all squirrelly. All I could do was shake my head and pass as quickly as possible....
I'll be glad when gas prices stabilize and all these newbie riders get bored and go back to their cars.
