Duck walkin...hmmm....use it for reverse gear, or in an emergency, getting bike the last 100 feet to the gas station after the arms have tired out

Start paying attention at about 26 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKu8GUNntwU

It's funny seeing some one duck walking and then grabbing a hand full of front brakes...It seems that they would realize that it is harder to balance with your feet off of the pegs or boards...also harder to control the bike while duck walking.

I'm gonna start. Then I can 'migrate' Sowt, for da winter !!!!

Why else would you go to the dealer, 'cept to watch the "new kids" duck waddle out the parking lot on their Ultra ??? CHEEP entertainment, sorta like the FORUM.

I take a lot o' pride in my s-l-o-w speed navigation, on the Cap'n. As posted, "duck walkin' ", to me, translates to ROOKIE. WELL, that is, 'cept 'reverse', as posted, also.

Plain and Simple.
