- this should be no problem for a REAL motorcyclist. as you come to a stop,
- place your front tire between said bikejackers legs. now bounce the engine
- off the rev limiter while you dump the clutch. see how far you can carry
- the unwitting passenger on the front tire before they get sucked under.
- make sure you don't slip on the guts.
