Lead sled? More like 1939 tech. Read Motorcyclist magazine once in a while. They don't review to many Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Riding that lead sled is safe as can be. It could cut a freight train in half. Even at it's remarkably slow speed.
Lead sled? Remarkably slow speed? NO bike, figure of speech notwithstanding, is going to "cut a freight train in half".
I ride a 750lb dry-weight cruiser that`ll do 135mph without even WORKING at it, fully loaded for a long haul with 100lbs of luggage. The best I could hope for at a "remarkably slow speed" (riding ATGATT, mind you) crash would be a few nasty bruises. More likely, at least a couple broken bones.
That fool? He`s a full second of reaction time and motion from grabbing or footing the brakes, no capability for quick maneuvering with his feet (!) on the handlebars, and don`t even get me STARTED on the thong sandals and no helmet.
The only good thing that comes out of morons who ride like this are multiple organ donations… of whatever doesn`t happen to be smeared across 3 mil

I ride, AGATT (look it up). But props to him for enjoying the ride. Its all risk management. Guy in full safety gear on bike says he is unsafe, guy in a car says gear guy is unsafe, guy in a pick-up truck says car guy is unsafe, guy in a semi-truck says pick-up guy is unsafe, guy at home scared to leave the house says everybody is unsafe.... F it all just stay at home and cover yourself in bubble wrap.
