Got the picture, couldn't smell the Roses!

Stop and smell the roses, and while you're at it take a picture or two.

Wow! What a long long slide!

Hard to tell for sure, but at the moment before he loses it, the speedometer reads 178 (KmPH, I presume?) in third gear!

Pretty impressive bike to be able to do a wheelie at 100mph.

Less impressive aerodynamics.

I am extremely disappointed that the left hand mirror didn't hold up any better, what lousy quality. I'm not buying one if they fall off that easily. #-o

That's a hell of a slide, musta waxed it right before the ride.

What did his personal grooming habits have to do with anything??... Oh wait, that's why he slid off the seat when he pulled the wheelie!!
