Idaho... again
Idaho has no motorcycle helmet law. We're following a gentleman on a very nice, very new custom chopper, all orange and chrome with dealer plates and a back tyre a steamroller would be envious of.
Dude is well tanned, from the top of his frosted hair to his wildly flailing man-boobs to his sandal-wearing feet. At about 50mph the skin on his shoulders sends waves of ripples down his back, which can't be comfortable. Obviously, he's not wearing a shirt, helmet, shoes, or sunglasses. Curiously enough he appears to have earplugs in though. Very sensible.
He's having trouble with corners. The slightest bit of lean causes that wide rear tyre to roll nearly onto the sidewall, shifting and dramatically reducing the contact patch. It looks awful, and apparently feels worse, because every time the bike squirms sideways he tenses up and slows down. So we overtake him on every corner, and on every straight he zooms past, clearly upset at being outhandled by a barbiemobile piloted by laughing poofs.
