Can you tell from this actual unretouched photo, who is the NFL Defensive Tackle and who is his motorcycle instructor? I know it will be difficult, so take your time.



That's Fili Moala of the Colts. He's a new rider who recently bought a RoadGlide. I worked with him for a week out here in SoCal. He wears a 5XL Helmet. I met his wife and kid, really nice family.

I swear you could have turned the helmet over and cooked two whole chickens in it.

When he sat on that KZ1000 police bike he made it look like a BigWheel. He had to tilt the bars way up to clear his legs so he could turn lock to lock without his hitting his thighs. His butt was hanging off the back of the saddle the whole time. His left foot could barely fit between the heel and toe shifter.

Being a pro athlete he took coaching and instruction really well. He attacked each exercise with drive, tenacity and an honest hunger to learn and improve. Most importantly he knows the value of regular practice to keep skills up. For a big man he has excllent balance, eye hand coordination, and quickness. He comes from a long line of jocks. He told me his father was a professional heavy weight boxer (what other division could he have possibly been in) who used to spar with Ken Norton Sr. all the time.

A really nice guy.

Amazing how well guys that big move and are balanced. So make sure and update us on the results of his test back in Indy!

I know he will smoke it but I doubt any instructor would want to tell him "fail" anyway.
