What's wrong with having handholds on a sportbike?

My original line was going to be, "That'd probably work great with beer, too" but I deleted it cuz I didn't think some peeps would get it

Just as an update; word out of the senate is that this thing is dead in committee and will never see the light of day. Hopefully that's true, but there are a bunch of folks watching the committees agenda to be sure. If it isn't brought to the floor by the 25th, then it's dead for this session.

Big thanks to everyone who got involved here, but I fear this fight isn't over. I fully expect to see a revised version of this thing pop up in the next legislative session, which is why I've already contacted my Representative to let him know that stuff like this is not OK, and that I'm watching.

I count 3. There's a guy right at the beginning that gets air worthy of a pilot's license. He's off frame for most of the video.

I was refering to the two that were thrown clear... one guy got rolled over.

Three guys are thrown clear - watch again, closely at the beginning. One guy clears the frame in the blink of an eye, only to lawn dart the ground when the truck has about a 1/2 roll left before it comes to rest.
