Default See if you can count how many illegal things I do in this video...

This year was the 2nd annual Pelotonia race for the cure. Actually it isn't a race. It's more like a charity event. This year, we collected over 8.5 million dollars. 100% of it goes to cancer research. This year, there were 4,000 riders.

The video starts with me parked on OSU's football stadium in Columbus and concludes with me on the other end of town on South High St where my buddy is broken down in his GSXR with an oil pressure light (I told him if he keeps the revs high, the pressure will build and the light will go out, which it did. Probably bad advise but what do i care? It's a GSXR). I was going to dub over some music for your enjoyment/loathing, but decided that this is way better with the original sound. Video was taken at 7:30am on Saturday morning.

Unfortunately one of the cyclists was struck and killed by a vehicle right behind me shortly after this video was taken. RIP...

But anyway, Enjoy!

PS: Sorry the video is so shaky. My image stabilization was on. If I turn it off, it's smooth as hell. I dunno.

Ha! I like it.
I counted 3 things you did that were legal.

So did you win the race? It looked like you pedaled way faster those other dudes.

I should probably point ot that my bike and clothing were well marked as I was a volunteer moto marshal. There were about 5 of us. I talked to the cop standing in the picture in the very beginning of the video about it. I told him to let the officers know that I would be riding along and he radioed ahead right before I turned the camera on.
