So I was in Paradise Cafe today for lunch and it was jam packed. There was this guy that was sitting in a booth all by his lonesome and had a sweet lookin laptop. The dude gets a call on his cell phone and decides to take the call outside. I was perplexed because he just left his laptop all by itself. So, its now been 15 minutes and the guy is STILL outside on the phone!
I thought to myself that I really needed a new laptop and this one was there for the taking. Well, there were no cameras in there and it was so busy that no one would notice so I went up to it casually and folded it up and exited the opposite door from him. Like taking candy from a baby. :-)
And I dont feel too bad because the guy didnt have any business or work related stuff on there, just a couple of photo albums. Hey, if he is too stupid to leave his laptop alone for more than 15 minutes then he deserved it. [Reply]

I don't think anyone really gives two shits if this guy dies. He's a free BOY and can do what he wants.
Personally, if I had a crotch rocket I'd go over 100 too, but I'd be as responsible as I could about it...and I think most people would probably say the same thing.
I agree. Maybe I missed something but I didn't see that he was doing this in prime time traffic weaving in and out of cars. I think we have all seen a lot of idiots on motorcycles before. Being responsible about it is the key. There are a lot of public roads where you could do this without putting anyone else at risk. Even on my last harley trip we were frequently over 90. A bunch of deer slowed me down a little. [Reply]

From the same thing.
Actually, if you read below the pictures, his friend was killed a week after.

What state would make that illegal? That's ridiculous. That poster obviously has an issue with anyone passing him. [Reply]

Highway 169 is known for late night speed driving and trick driving of motorcycles.
That explains the lack of shoes.... that was confusing the hell out of me...
The stunt knocked his shoes off. (rim shot) [Reply]

Cali is the only one that I know is legal, but I haven't looked too closely. [Reply]

I guess going 100+ without a helmet is againist the law or something LOL.
I just cant help it though. Once you get on those things you want to soar like a bird its not even funny.

"Anyone who's spent time in Bay Area traffic knows motorcyclists rarely hesitate to zip between gridlocked cars. It's called ``lane splitting,'' and, to the chagrin of many motorists, California is one of the few states where it's legal."

I say "Ban it". I have a brother in the ground due to this shite Cali crap. Use a F'n lane or go ride in the desert. Bikes riding between cars and not in a lane is incredibly dangerous. As if riding a bike in Cali isn't dangerous already due to idiot drivers in cars. [Reply]

WOW. Sorry to hear about your brother. At stoplights it's actually safer as you don't get rear ended. As far as gridlock traffic is concerned the only thing that makes it dangerous is the typical road rage Mr. Wheeler that doesn't want anyone passing him. I am not sure what the desert thing is all about. [Reply]
