Default Riding a motorcycle with roller-blades...

Now, I know I'm ClubLexus' own motorcycle guru, but I am at a loss for words.

So, I ask the CL community: Can you guess what's going on?

By the way, for everyone's info, that's a Suzuki Hayabusa. 1.3L engine pumping 197 horsepower. 0-60 in 2.6 seconds.


I really don't know how rollerblades would help...

He's been doing this for a while. Broken pelvic bone, so he rollerblades everywhere. Yup, he's disabled, yup he still rides a real motorcycle.
