I got a friend who does that on his R1 a lot -- not as stylish as that guy, but gets it done.

However, what I find more crazy is the cars in that clip. Holy shit that is some crazy driving.

That looks like India!! Not sure where though!  Traffic's been that way for ages and somehow it all works!  Never saw anyone do that before!

Would a throttle lock enable him to take his hands off the throttle and keep his speed?

man, after having ridden with people in korea a half dozen times now, i can attest to drivers in the states being pretty timid.

the rules of the road amount to "polite suggestions" here, and i've yet to see an accident. a coworker of mine said it took him five months to see one. folks just make it work.

Great find!  Hilarious video.  That guy is a multitasker.  He'd fit in great in America!

Absolutely insane...I like the end, where he switches lanes to avoid being part of that flatbed without so much as to even sit up...Friggen crazy...
