There is a time for everything, but texting while riding a Ducati Monster down a Sydney freeway at 80km/h is not one of them.
This wannabe 21-year old motorcyclist (squid) who only had a learner’s permit, not only was texting but he was wearing moccasins instead of boots, not even a motorcycle jacket, and even worse his hands weren’t holding handlebars.
The rider turned himself in when the photo went viral and he lost his licence and fined $265 and his excuse was that he was only locking his phone and that he pulled over after the photo was taken.
Evidently this guy has never seen one of Australia’s excellent Motorcycling PSA’s.
