Jon, are you sure he didn't just get a bee stuck in his helmet? :^)

I tought I sent this out before, but it did not post, so here it is again...
Driving in my steel cage on the D.C. Beltway near Andrews AFB. In my rear
view mirror, I see a motorcycle headlight. It is bright. Then it
disappears. Then reappears. This process repeats 5 or 6 times, then
stops. I cannot figure out what is going on, is his headlight flashing, or
does it have a bad wire ?
The 'Busa passes me, in heavy traffic. We are all going 70, he is just
keeping pace. All of a sudden, he pops a wheely, and rides it about 200
yards, surounded by traffic. He comes down, then repeats the process obout
5 more times. I am just amazed, because the bike has that much power, and
he can effortlessly do a wheely anytime. I am also amazed that he is doing
this in the middle of heavy rush hour traffic, because if he went down, he
would have certainly been killed.
The wheelies continue for a total of about 20 iterations, over the course
of about 5 minutes. Finally, we get to a long straight away, and he rides a
wheelie for about 1/4 mile, comes down, then accelerates to about 130+ and
rockets away. I did not see him again, but at least I did not see him
laying in the roadway.
Amazing skill, but also an amazing lack of concern for himself and others
on the road.
