While driving I95 this morning, I saw a guy riding his motorcycle, driving with one hand and shielding his eyes with the other. He was driving at least the speed limit, which is 65. Scary.

There once was a motorcyclist named Goakley,
Who ditched his sunglasses by Oakleeey.
Why might we say,
it was concluded this way?
He threw up on the windshield of the car behind him.
On my way home yesterday, I saw what I swear was a one armed motorcylclist. I was behind him for at least 10 miles, never saw a left arm, let alone him use it to drive. I'm not saying that folks with one arms can't drive a motorcycle, but....wow.
Top 10 reason why my left arm wasn't visibly steering my bike:
1) My gas cap cover keeps coming undone.
2) My fly keeps coming undone.
3) My bike is built by Ford......it even parallel parks itself.
4) My left had is invisible
5) ......texting.
6) My Colt keeps slipping out of my waistband.
7) Man!....it's cold
8) Only one handlebar warmer is working..
9) That was a fine meal at Arby's.....free toothpicks, too!
10) I salute every flag!
Actually an experienced cyclist or horseman can control direction with his knees and shifting of weight. And on a cold day many will drive one handed while warming the other in a pocket.
I once had fool friend that when on a motor scooter, would pull the handlebars off and hand them to the passenger saying: "Here you drive." This after getting a few too many comments on how he should be driving. Had several hot rod friends who would pull the same stunt with a steering wheel.
Had electric scooter for my son while he was still in diapers, he often would drive around in circles facing backward.
You'd be amazed what some people can do.
I will spare you some of the more interesting things some couples would do while riding down the beach at surfside (Corpus Christi).

Another little pearl, the faster motorcycles and bicycles go, the more stable they become.

I'm of the opinion that anyone can do anything if they practice practice practice. however, most folks on the road in either car or on a motorcycle aren't experts. However, if the man indeed was one armed, I would bet he was a better rider than most peeps with all appendages attached.
