transport one's bike!

I ended up following this guy down a surface street this morning and into a parking lot. His bike was half hanging out of his trunk bouncing around as well as the trunk lid wide open as you see it in the picture. I couldn't quite tell, but i think this was a 550. I appologize for the quality of the pix as it's from my phone, but just had to share this with you...
