I love the no-gear riders up here in New Hampshire.
I knew it would happen eventually but last night I was riding my bicycle and on two separate occasions I passed no-gear squids on motorcycles.
First one was a guy on a harley, NO gear at all. No helmet, not even any eye protection. Not sure why he wasn't pulled over. The road was straight and slightly downhill, 30mph speed limit and he must have been doing like 10mph, I practically sucked the paint off his bike.
Second one was a guy on a GSX-R 750. :o No gear, I caught him after he had to stop at a traffic light, and the road went straight for like 50 yards after the light and then made a hard right followed immediately by hard left. I figured he would be able to lean the bike at least like 5 degrees or something. Nope. No skill at all. I caught him at the apex of the first turn and had to stand my bicycle up and get on the brakes hard to avoid hitting him from behind. He looked really shaky.
I almost yelled at him. He definitely didn't look like he belonged on a Gixxer.
