Default Motorcycle Rider with Laptop Stand Built on Handlebars, MUST SEE TO BELIEVE!!

I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS!!! As I was coming home from Campbell University after my first week of classes I was on the way home on US 70, Glenwood Avenue at the Brier Creek intersection when the red light caught me at just the wrong moment wehre I had to stop, unable to just breeze through it by far. So as I was sitting at this light that usually will hold you for 3-4 minutes.


So this motorcycle pulls along side at the said light with a WOODEN BRACKET built on to the handlebars of his motorcycle to hold the laptop, and built in a way that would prevent the wind from blowing the screen closed while he drives down the road!!!!!! WHAT!?!!?! And the laptop, although you can't tell here, WAS TURNED ON!!!!!!!

EDIT: I circled the laptop for clarity.

It might be a GPS, but it's the biggest GPS system that's built exactly like a netbook that I've ever seen.

That's got to be illegal. If not it should be.

Put the dam laptop away and DRIVE!!!

Driving a motorcycle (or any other vehicle) is no time to multi-task. I don't care if you're good at it, or you've never had any problems. Put away the laptops, phones, food, etc and just DRIVE THE FREAKIN VEHICLE!!!
