Nice. "Rolling stop, Phil...rolling stop." Oh, and singing as he rides away. At that rate, I wonder how long before that reporter ends up a member here?
I am happy to see the mention of "safety first" and a reporter who can actually ride. I remember some of the other reporter...mishaps...over the past few years.

Gotta love the opening music: "See they're wannabe HOG riders!"
Same crap, different gas crunch. Just another fluff piece treating them like toys.

"Get that toy offa the road!" Seems to be the 'battle cry' of the uninformed or the general a$$holes, yet I get that or have gotten that when someone has driven like a total jerk just to keep up with me even when I'm 55 or 65 mph!!!
Good piece though, can it/will it help??

Yeah, they never show the guy running into the side of the building because he's mashing the floorboard looking for the brakes. Also, the classic MC first clutch let out...............wheelie and flip and crush and bleed. The service guys would quit whatever they were doing when a newbie got his bike at the Honda shop my dad worked at . This was back in the day when there was little factory financing, and almost every bike was cash or cashiers check. They would hang out in front of the service garage door and size up the newb.......decide if he was going to be flipper or a staller, and then take bets.
