Motorcycling Thread for MrX, Matty, and I

Do we think this is fake? I can't decide. Seems nearly impossible that after everything, he would not be thrown from the top of the car as they brake hard after a collision.

But it looks pretty great.

Looks real to me. The car wouldn't necessarily brake hard after getting rear-ended by a 400lbs bike.

But maybe.

Yeah, I found that website a while back. None of those rides are within my reach at the moment.

Marty that Forks of the Credit vid brought back memories for me.

At the top of the hill we teenagers (like me and my buddies) would take a car and roll it off the cliff.
There used to be quite a few old wrecks at the bottom of Bellefountaine (Belfountain).

When I was 17 I was going to scrap my old Ford after it blew a head gasket and my buddies chipped in and paid me what the scrapyard was going to give me for it and we rolled it off the cliff instead of taking it to the graveyard.

Good times.

Good point. I got rear ended on the highway by a car and I didn't brake hard.

Saw that yesterday. Guy rode like a total cock. 97mph on a 2-lane road is pure lunacy.

I wonder what killed him though - is it the initial impact with the car? I doubt that was the killer since he seems to have flown way high and far.

Impact with the ground? Really?

I don't understand the physics involved.

 

[Matty]

I guess his whole body must've hit the car's hood before he was sent flying.

Yeah that'd kill you.

Not the worst way to go. Split second.

broken neck, blow to the kidneys, lungs trauma

one time I attended a Galician derby match between deportivo la corua and celta vigo, there were two groups of fans fighting, nothing big like 10 versus 10 idiots that look more pathetic than anything, I was watching from far when one of them dropped kick a guy on the back, guy just fell to the floor and didnt got back up, cops came paramedics and everything then match was gonna start and I went inside, that night in the news they said the guy died from the kick to the kidneys, silly little kick out the wwf and the guy died

Need to change my front tire, but I got nothing to support the front of the bike and I don't wanna buy a stand.

Could bring the bike and tire to a shop but it's too late for today and all the shops are closed tomorrow.

Riding a dirtbike on an empty train track - seems like a good idea on paper

Center stand. Ratchet strap the back of the bike down to something very secure to raise the front wheel.

 

[MrX]

 

[Matty]

Yeah. Gonna have to bring it to my bud's garage. I have a center stand, but no car. Could always just put something under the forks, but if the bike topples over it'll do so on a neighbour's car.

 

[reno cool]

that foking idiot going 97. I just feel bad for the car driver who has to deal with this shit. And doesn't the guy realize somebody can turn not expecting such a fast moving vehicle coming? Reckless drivers foking piss me off. They are risking your life, and all I ever hear is the blaming of conscientious drunk drivers. punks

 

[Matty]

The car driver was actually charged with an improper turn.
