To those that tow..we want to know.

You guys totally missed the big one on that pic.

Yeah, he's towing a trailer.

Yeah, he's two-up.

Yeah, he's on a touring bike.

Yeah, he's on 129.


But did you see the Florida tag???

It's a corner.

And he's railing it.

A Floridian.

On a corner.

Cranking it.


Big picture: Win!

Fashion failure! He should tuck the jeans into his boots or buy longer riding pants. Oh, and their helmets don't match.
