If Angelina asked you to dance, would you dance?

Hey Tom, can I ride that one?

 

[James Burleigh]

It may have looked crazy to the casual observer, but when I scare myself, it's time to back off. No scary moments on that encounter, just good felonious fun.

WTF? :blink: Is this the same ToeCutter lecturing me about land-splitting and hooliganism?! Tsk Tsk...

Don't get me wrong--I dig doing what you write about here, and I enjoyed your post. :clapping: Actually, I've done very little of that kind of racing, and tend to back off as soon as I realize the cage is getting too aggressive, 'cause the consequences are too great if he f**cks up--we both go to jail (he'll kill someone; I'll only kill myself).

Anyway, ToeCutter, I was surprised by this post after your telling me about how my behavior jepordizes motorcyclists' rights and all by creating a bad impression. Is the difference that I make videos, whereas you just write about your stuff? As far as I can tell, the behavior's the same. :glare:

I'm not trying to crucify you or anything; I just got the impression you must be Mr. Straight-and-Narrow to have taken the position you did (yes, I remember how you opened your post....).

I feel let off the hook. Anyway, I deleted my mea culpa in the other thread....

Does that mean I get to *finally* see the video? OBTW, TC is not the princely guy you might think; that kid likes to ride and is not afraid of speed... it's all about the exposure factor. Maybe 20 cars saw the dance, a video can be seen by, well, at least 30! . OBTW, see my other comments in the JB video post for 'the rest of story'.. .
The really funny thing about this is that it was probably Toe who resuced this thread from the pool to make it available to the masses to see again! Kind of like when you find your parents in the process of making your new baby sister if you know what I mean...

Yep. That and the fact that none of my passes were between cars. And to the onlookers, it was obviously a case of self defensive driving, me fleeing that crazed lunatic in the evil black sports car, trying to run me over.

I've read most of your stuff, found it rather interesting, and am left wanting for more. But, outside of congress, the written venue doesn't garner the same kind of sensationalism as video to the TV addicted masses.

As far as I can tell, the behavior's the same. :glare:

Not quite. My speed was about twice what I saw in your video.

I'm not trying to crucify you or anything; I just got the impression you must be Mr. Straight-and-Narrow to have taken the position you did

More like Mr. Holier-Than-Thou. Mr. Straight-and-Narrow would have called you names. It's all about the film footage. I could have made my stuff up, yeah?

I pondered heavily about getting a video camera and strapping it to my bike. But, in the end, I figured it was a bad idea and I'd end up doing insane crap in order to sensationalize the product.

OK, ya got me. I'd buy you a beer, but then I couldn't let you ride home, cuz that would be wrong. Come to WFO.

Maybe 20 cars saw the dance

And I'm sure some of them were on the cell phones to report it to the local authorities. The longer I ride, the mellower I get, knowing that the stuff I've gotten away with so far has been a giant blessing and not taken lightly.

It's almost been a year since the ride. Ian, wanna try it backwards? It would be quite the challenge! We could call it Mission Impossible II.

Damn, that would be one "tough on the clock" SS1K going backwards!! Mission Impossible II eh?? Hmm :blink:

Downtown SFO at around 2.00am?

And then how about Mission Impossible III with a SS2K consisting of both directions back to back?

Sounds like it might become a movement!

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking insingin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an

organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said

fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and

walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

"Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie......... "

I put that envelope at the bottom of all that garbage.

"Uh, your honor. That's not me. I swear! Do you see my face anywhere while the bike is moving?" :no:

"That's right. Because it's my ex-buddy I lent my bike and camera rig to, and when I catch 'em, I'm gonna kill the sumbitch!"

Jb

P.S. And yes, you're right, a LOT faster than me....
