OK......How can this possibly be legal?
Does he have a way to operate the throttle with his feet
What happens when the deer runs across the road, or when traffic comes to a sudden stop? "Stuff happens....and I can't imagine that any 8-10 hour trip won't include at least one event that requires a quick correction in steering or speed.
How did he pass his motorcycle test?

Now that he has the fuel problem worked out.....what about the restroom issue? I mean even if he does have the optional extended range bladder........You gotta have hands to operate the zipper and to do the "shaking" at the end?

ADDENDUM: Wait a minute......He has hands....and arms....he just ain't using them! The photo is a bit misleading, as he is leaning back with his arms crossed. He can do his own shakin' when he has to.

Wonder if that extended range thing will catch on with this Savage bunch?

Seriously.
I've gone hands free, I've coasted, I stood up on my pegs, I had my feet up on the seat but never ballsy enough to stand up on the seat. I know you can steer by leaning but I can't even make the trip to the grocery store without a sharp turn.

No way he'd try that in NY, with the potholes he'd last a block.
