"Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator."

That non-stop technicality is ludicrous/stupid.  Non-stop should be pragmatically thought of as having the same set up as he had (basically an insanely large fuel supply) and not stopping for nourishment or restroom breaks and no break downs.  "Rolling" through the stops or "Riding" super slow past check points to meet the technicality is a little stupid.

It is awesome what he did but that non-stop nonsense is just not pragmatic.  Heck I give him credit for going "non-stop" from coast to coast, even though he did stop when he got pulled over.

If this guy's good enough to not stop for any border crossing or traffic light, he's good enough to stand up while riding, whip it out and let er rip off to the side.

;D
