This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen absolutely true, no embelishment needed. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I took the wife and kiddies (in the car of course) to the park about 5 miles up route 9w. Bikes were out in force everywhere. On the way back this pirate pulls out of the driveway of a winery right in front of us. He does not seem to know how to ride. He rides IN THE WRONG LANE for a quarter mile at low speed and waves me back. No problem, I just give him some room but he is riding 10 mph below the speed limit on a perfect flat straight road and cars start backing up behind us.He is holding everyone up but personally I am in no rush and I stay back a good 150 feet. Now the funny part. In 25 years of driving/riding I have never seen this before-

The road breaks out into 4 lanes and this black sport bike pulls up along side us. I am 20 feet from him.He has an Icon jacket, full face helmet, license plate on his chain guard. The HD and I are in the right lane, going about 50 mph.The sportbike pulls up next to the HD and points at it as if mocking it. The pirate ignores him. The guy on the sportbike STANDS UP ON THE PEGS and looks around. This got my attention. What the crap is this dude doing? He drops back a bit then as easy as pie he pulls the front wheel up and wheelies past the HD! As he goes by he looks over at the pirate as if to say "here's how you ride" and just continues down the highway on one wheel for more than half a mile until he is literally out of sight! The guy on the HD did not immediately react, but at the next light he pulled over on the shoulder and took his skip plate off and adjusted his doo rag. The kids and I were stopped at the light next to him laughing our heads off!

..... not really that funny Sal - you cant ride safely if your doo rag isnt adjusted properly

My neighborhood is rife with the doo rag set. Their destination is usually the nearest biker bar after taking a LONG 50 mile ride. I just do not know how they do it! Just pure grit and stamina I suppose?
