Interesting he was passed by a couple of faster bikes.
Must not be many police on patrol there.

Yes, that is a very cool video. Here is another. Not a Bonnie, but awesome riding by the late David Jefferies. Only one way traffic (Mad Sunday).

I thought at some points he should have changed up more often.
