Funny how the big-ticket bikes are the worse riders of all. I was walking into a Barnes and Noble in MD two weeks ago and there were an assortment of bikes out front. A few Ducatis, an MV Agusta, a 929, and an R1. I walked behind them, inspected the bikes and said, "Who owns the 929?" A little asain guy walked up to me. I shook his hand and said, "Thank you for ACTUALLY knowing how to ride your bike."

He was the only one of the group who knew how to lean the bike over (as displayed by his well rounded off rear tire with little to no "new rubber" on the edges).
