Mad skills, but what an idiot
So I needed to fill up the bike over lunch and did what any self-respecting rider would do.....passed the station right down the block from work, and the next 20 or so and turned it into a 45 mile ride around South Orange County
So I finally fill up and head back; riding down Oso Parkway, I see a bike (pretty sure it was a Gixxer, blue/white color scheme) and give the wave. Instead of a wave back, the guy tilts the bike, slings both legs over to my side and proceeds to "air run" next to the bike as he passes me. Almost sh*t myself as I thought the guy was going to eat it , but it clearly wasn't his first rodeo. Never seen anything like it. So to that guy, wow dude, some awesome skill, but you sure it is best to display them on a three lane 55 mph street? Him being an idiot aside, I have to admit that I admire his skills, it looked very impressive. |

Dammit. I clicked on this thread hoping for some tale of mayhem and destruction to some squid. Disappointed.

Sounds cool but if he keeps doing it, he won't be on the road much longer.

To catch that, you would have needed @Jiggles high speed camera.
