Oh wow, you were right

It's shaking right now!

Moroncycle.

About to be transformed into a donorcycle.

I hope this is just staged for the camera.

On the other hand I wouldn't dismiss some squids actually doing this.

Looks like he's doing some long travelling so I can understand the motive, but I bet the Highway Patrol would take a dim view quickly.

Come on, Neal. Haven't you ever done anything like that? I have.

Staged, but not really. Unless he's got cruise control or a throttle lock he's going to slow down real soon. Staged because he's doing it for the camera, not really because it's not faked. He just propped himself up so his buddy could take a picture. At speed the bike (especially one that heavy) isn't going to fall over or even wobble for the few seconds it takes to get into that position. Any kid can do it on a bicycle. Just raise your feet and hands and coast along for awhile.

I know Steve, I'm riding myself.

(though I'm still in training for the licence and don't own a motorcycle yet.)

I believe some Harleys do indeed have cruise control, that's why I hope it's staged because it would be possible to ride like that, though it wouldn't be safe at all as the guy can't react to anything that's going on.

What could possibly go wrong?

A lot of things.

Otherwise it wouldn't be fun.

At least he is wearing a helmet, protective leathers, and sturdy boots.

oh.

I am sure those flip-flops and shorts will protect him.

Looks like a Pennsylvania tag on the bike (Road King?).

I still have my license, but haven't driven in decades. I see a lot of bikers in PA that don't wear helmets. I guess it's not mandatory here.

In looking at the picture, is the motorcycle and the automobile really in the same lane?

It certainly looks like it
