      Broken Cup

      I do not think I could ?

      He did and it kept some tire cutting ceramic off the road, nice move !

      Have to practice that one ?

      Any one have a cup and an SUV ?

        OK, how did he work the throttle and pass the cup at the same time?

          Would assume with his other hand...or psycho-kinetic powers, whichever is more likely.

            Now that I want to see!
            If you ever tried to use your left hand to do the throttle, you will find out that your brain has it's own way of responding to things.
            That's not to say that some south paws might be able to master the feat, but it won't happen without some road rash, and is best tried at low speed.

              He throttled up just right, pulled the clutch and grabbed it before he slowed and she got away.
              Ya think ?

                  The rider on the back got the cup listen to what the woman said I think the word guys was used.
                  To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

                    Nice bit of riding! I would go with the timing scenario, not left-hand throttle as in tight quarters right-handers trying to use the left hand on the throttle would not have that amount of control without a lot of practice. Not impossible, though, as I use my left hand on my right-hand snowmobile throttle, same on my ATV throttle. Gives my right hand a break now and then, so it could be done on a bike as well but a throttle lock is probably safer...
