    next bike?

    Interesting that he is wearing a Triumph tee-shirt while she says: "he is not getting another bike". Understandable reaction on her part but not the best start to married life in mho.

    Apparently he passed the car that hit him earlier and noticed that the people in the front were "dancing". They obviously weren't paying attention at all. The rider locked up his rear for quite some time

    I loved the look on his face when his fiancee was like "He's not getting another bike":

    My thoughts exactly. Good reason to find another fiancee.
