Weekend Awesome - Asleep Behind the Handlebars

This week’s video comes to us from Thailand where a man was spotted riding his scooter down the street, apparently asleep. With his head tilted to one side, his sandaled feet dragging along the ground and right hand holding the throttle slightly open, the unconscious rider wove his way down the street, sometimes wandering into the oncoming traffic lanes.

It’s hard to tell from the shoddy camera work, but the man appears to finally wake up, just before running into a pedestrian who was either trying to stop him or just trying to get out of the way.

A bloodhound when it comes to tracking information on new motorcycles, if there's a new model on the horizon, you'll probably hear about it from him first.

    Believe it or not, I have actually fallen asleep twice at highway speed on my motorcycle! Once on an extremely hot day and once near the end of a 21 hour ride!

    It's probably fake. No way he could randomly keep relatively straight direction for so long.
