Ah yes, Dent, Martin Dent. I've been passed by this guy a couple of times, and it's an eerie thing. First you hear the motorbike. Then everything goes silent - the birds stop chirping, the wind calms and traffic stops. Then the motorbike flies past, engine revving hard, driver fighting to maintain control. And then this ... mirage of a man just glides by, feet never touching the ground, and is gone in an instant with nothing but a roaring zephyr ripping your ears and hat off to let you know he was ever there. It makes you wonder why we mortals even bother trying.

A stupendous talent.
Run. Just run.
