Isn't it dangerous to take pictures while piloting a motorcycle?

It is much easier with digital because you don't have to worry as much about wasting film, just shoot and if it doesn't work out, oh well. I took about two hundred pictures in three days, some are okay, some are unfathomable, most are in between. A bike is pretty stable at speed, the two wheels act as gyroscopes, at slow speed it is much more unstable. At 65 mph on this bike you can take both hands off the bars and just roll down the road for miles if you want as long as you have some way of locking the throttle open so that the engine doesn't slow down. Course if the unexpected happens you may get to test your leathers.
