Well it looks like he made it, but still doesn't answer all the questions asked above...
Sylvania, Ohio —
Phil Comar of Adrian left Mackinaw City at the Mackinac Bridge at 7:55 a.m. Sunday and crossed into Ohio on U.S. 23 at 12:08 p.m., completing his no-hands motorcycle ride. After crossing the state line, Comar stopped at a gas station in Sylvania, Ohio, to celebrate with friends. Comar had a modified gas tank so he wouldn’t have to stop and a couple spotters who rode with him. He made the ride to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research. He will submit the ride to the Guiness Book of World Records.
Crazy? Hell yes. Was he making a point? Yeah, and it was taken. Here's the kicker, where he stopped the ride, about 1/2 mile from my childhood home. So there you go, if you had any doubts before, you won't now. People from Ohio and Michigan, come up with the most ambitious things, cause we have long assed winters to dream them up!!! I hope Michael J. Fox meets this guy, I know he would thank him.
Ride "hands" Free

The cause is just.....the method????? Hey if you want to impress the media......do this shit blind folded. It's a hell of a rush as well. No really try it.....Get on a freeway in the middle lane, no traffic, and ride as far as you can with your eyes closed. That will bring ya closer to ya maker. I've done it many times, and I always open my eyes to something like ....Holly Crap!!!
I understand most everyone thinks I've got a few loose screws, but I plan on living life to the fullest in every way. I refuse to set in a chair drooling on myself and pissing my pants. Just so ya know! Oh yea, and I love to just pull everybody chain every chance I get!......LOL

Honorable thing to do and dangerous. but i think the record book might have him beat. eddie paul rode 4 oo miles many many years ago and he madi by fueling his tank from the back of a truck. now that's just crazy man. here is the link to eddies website. you might have seen him on one of the discovery channel shark programs made and used the first ever shark stomack camera. you will also recognize alot of his other work like alice coopers car.

Mainly see street and sports bikes over here and they don't have cruise control.
