i was looking at some of his journeys on a gs and i noticed the pic he is using for his avatar
i got a little chuckle when i realized he was riding his bike down the road taking pictures
Funny, I assumed he was stopped.
My first impression was the whole "the shadow KNOWS" thing
he was probably using his throttle lock (http://www.bbburma.net/ThrottleRetainer.htm).
Of course, he may have soldered together a complete autopilot system--he's crafty!
<kidding voice>You guys are just noticing that now?</kidding voice>

Yep. At some point I was asked about the wingnut that's visible in
the larger version of the picture that I posted on my
trip page. I said that it was my throttle lock, without which I couldn't have taken the picture!
Hey, when you're riding on a STRAIGHT road in the desert you have to get creative to stay alert.... :roll:
Yup Kerry, that was me asking about the wingnut, but I may have been insinuating something about you possibly being a wingnut. ;)
Gotta be to take pictures like that with your hands off the bars!
Ride safe and please set a good example for us newbies. :mrgreen:
And I thought he was eating a sandwich, and the pic was taken from a low flying chopper!

:lol: :lol: Good one Cal! :lol: :lol:
If it weren't for the awkwardness of the full-face helmet, I just might try it!
I feel alot better now. I thought I was being a little unsafe when I'd take my arms off the bars, move around, and just stretch a little sometimes. Since I wasn't taking pictures, eating a sandwich, or target shooting, I must have been safe. :thumb:
I thought he was playing a harmonica crusing down a long lonely highway in the desert. :thumb:
tisk tisk Kerry
not only are both hands off the bike (do you _really_ need both to take a picture?) you are actually looking toward the side too!
He's only going to drift just a liitle bit, but if he did have a problem, I would hope the camera is on a lanyard.

This post got the loudest laugh out of me! Not sure why either. :lol:
It does look like he's having a snack. Tea and strumpets!
