Couldn't grip the tank with knees while hand was off the handlebar.

Wasn't sure if he's considered a "biker" or just a kid on a toy.

Too busy looking for the next place to get off the pavement and up onto the sidewalk.   

Too busy holding throttle wide open and looking at speedo to see if he can actually get to 41 mph.

Was hurrying to meet friends at local juice bar.
