Texting while riding

[somegirl]

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.

First day I visited korea I was in an accident (my korean coworker was driving).

Second and third world countries, that was casual driving comapred to Kabul, Thimrait, Oman, Japan (okinawa) and many other places in the in the middle east.

But the bike was a bit too casual.

unfortunately my bike will do that 
sticky throttle = make shift cruise control 

It appears that  he's using his right foot to control the throttle , at the base of the carbs.

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

I use something really similar to this



I used it today and rode about 10 miles with no hands.  Traffic was very light.  I even passed some cars like that

But that would do it.  I can't see how that guy would use his foot to work a carb.  Feet = no dexterity.  Carbs = located behind motor, under tank.  Feet can't reach.

Well, bikes are very stable at high speed. so if you know the road and there are no cracks/bumps/pot holes, you could do this till you run out of gas safely.

It's a crazy vid, I thought you guys would like it.

I'd like to speed up along side and elbow bump him into traffic.

Riders like that, doesn't last that long on the road,they get killed.You guys are to see the riders here in the Philippines,you see a whole family of four or five on a bike,helmets not being worn on there head instead it's hanging by there elbows,riding with there flip flops,etc...so crazy!

I saw a guy on HD going from Boston to Providence riding like that- minus the texting. At first I was laughing, then I decided to get the hell away from him so I wouldn't be part of any misfortunate event. Not wise in heavy traffic, even if they don't share lanes here(often).

seeing that i still have a rotary phone at home, & no cell phone, i feel as though i'm living a safer life.

[M900]

I don't even want to return phone calls and text messages...

[deepak8612]

[weemonster]
