Well, all infighting aside 
, how would they go about concealing a motorcycle passing the limousine when it stopped, and second, as many have asked, what would be the purpose of concealing this movement?
The question of why is difficult to answer. It may have been to cover up the fact the limo came to a stop and gave Chaney enough time to ride ahead and bring Curry up to speed on the situation. I'm interested in any ideas people have on this.
The how is actually much easier. Beginning at frame z275 in the Zapruder film, the limo almost seems to drop out of the bottom of the picture. At one point, we are only able to see Connally from the shoulders up. The film stays like this until about z320, when Zapruder's camera pans downward to show us the entire limo. It has been suggested that Zapruder suffered from vertigo, and his secretary was there that day to steady him on the concrete pillar he was standing on, should he become dizzy.
My question is this; would an episode of vertigo cause a person filming the motorcade to lose the limo in the field of view for 45 frames? Here is another question; could a motorcycle have slipped by the limo, on the limo's right side, and be sufficiently out of the picture as to not appear on the Zapruder film?

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
