I tried to follow Jeff Higgins on his Ducati Monster for about five hours last Saturday. About the same speed, but the road was way narrower the turns way tighter and there were way more trees.

Okay, I'm prolly exaggerating but I was certainly tired when I got home and I had to re-learn how to blink.

Super Sport, actually, but since you were tired and your face is now frozen into some kind of a "Harley face", I'll give you this one.

Riding quickly on country roads is one thing, but what this ass clown is doing is inexcusable. You can hear him bumping off of cars when it gets really tight. Granted, beyond the property damage, I don't think he can hurt anyone but himself. But just imagine what that would do for traffic... Not everyone would simply run over him and keep going, like me.
