That guy knows what he's doing and then he'll take our hate and assume it is jealousy which feeds his ego and confirms that he's "doing it right". If we don't pay any attention to him, then he'll have just wasted his money and received no attention.
Remember, to people who are in it for attention, ANY attention is good attention. Ask your neighborhood attention [reputable female].

knows what hes doing? sorry but carrying a bicycle while riding a motorcycle is stupid period. front brake/throttle right clip on, clutch left clipon. Sorry i dont think its fare to say he knows what hes doing because that is dangerous and stupid unless you meant he knows hes being a complete and utter ****tard. Even if he had the throttle switched over to the left clip on that would mean feathering a throttle and using a clutch at the same time with one hand and it would only give you access to your rear brake with your foot. Dumb is dumb is dumb.
plus, shorts, sleeveless shirt, no gloves no helmet and **** shoes. There is no protection there at all. say hello to road rash even at low speeds. When i road i was less worried about head impacts and more worried about sliding all my skin off. I high sided back in 06 and slide pretty far, broke my ankle, almost lost a finger but i was wearing a jacket and a helmet with gloves. Only reason i didnt lose an inch or two off my ass is i slide right on my right ass cheek, chewed threw half my wallet.
braking on a motorcycle is roughly 90/10 front/rear

Damn straight. During High School I lowsided my moped in a big radius sweeper at only 25mph wearing just my swim trunks. Slid forever. And the problem with NO protection is you can't drag your feet to slow yourself down. You can't drag your hands to save your back or chest. I lost a significant amount of left butt cheek, thigh and forearm meat and spent the rest of the summer laying on my stomach on the sofa so the wounds would heal. NEVER again I vowed.

The guy is an attention w**** and just does what he does so that people can talk about him on forums. I know the type. I've had associates like that and it's worse to watch it all in person.

Well there are the badass type who do mountain time trials on beefy unicycles.... anyhow the tires do not match the braking power on the bike above, maybe it's an endo-machine?

This.
A few things though:
He's on a stunt bike (note the lack of fairings, a crash cage, and the clipped rear). So that leads me to believe he could easily just be idling through a parking lot, most stunt bikes are modded to idle at a high rpm.
Chances also are that he's got pretty wicked bike control if he's stunting regularly. So it's not really a big deal to coast down the street in a pair of shorts while carrying a bike. I doubt the guy is doing 55 on the highway while carrying a bike on his shoulder.

Look like its built for touring, maybe the person has a bad back. Don't really see it as a JA bike. I'll sit on what ever is most comfortable, doesn't matter what its made for.

I'm calling this JA because they took a Cervelo P2 and made it a fixed gear.
