Apparently 'stunting' or otherwise manipulating a motorcycle without actually riding it is all the rage.
I blame cruisers back in the day for burnouts, but see the transition from cars that made it happen.
But idiots like this amuse the hell out of me. [popcorn]

Kind of like the video of the guy doing the same with a car, and is run over by his own idiocy. Post a link to that if you have it.
Tool [popcorn]
Silly squid, gear is for riders.
Now this is irony... I blocked myspace at my company because all of our users keep getting viruses from there.. .and now I can't watch the video. :(
That was freaking awesome.
This kind of stuff blows my mind. I went to a motorcycle stunting show about a month ago, and the guys performing in the parking lot were only seperated from the large crowd of people watching by a piece of yellow police tape. WTF? If any of them had lost control, like the guy in the video, they would have taken out at least 10 people. Audience members even had their little kids front and center. I kept waiting to witness the makings of several Darwin Awards, yet thankfully nothing happened. If you want to be a dummy, you need to do it in a wide open area, not a parking lot.
You think he'd just...i dunno, let go of the throttle when it started getting away from him. Wearing full gear makes one think he might have some type of riding experience, but he just leaves his bearclaw wrapped around the throttle as it hurtles towards a car.
Also as you fall you would just wind the throttle open wider too.
That was just great, I love the other guy looking at him, giving him the "you dumbass" look

I thought he was checking to see if his bike was ok.

Yeah, something alot like that! [evil] [laugh]
I was at the Hooters last night in Union, NJ on Route 22. Apparently this is a big hang out spot for bikers. Well typical mix of Gixxers, Honda's, Yamaha's, one 1098 S, one Speed Triple and Triumph 675, and one MV Augusta Brutale (which makes my bike look lame). I think the whole place was swarming with squids. I don't know if it's to look cool, but these guys were doing endo's in the parking lot. I know this sounds bad, but sometimes I wish these kids (I'm 25 so still young but hey) WOULD crash when I see them. I'm not a malicious person, but I feel like you need to learn the hard way sometimes. But maybe 3 guys out of 100 had riding boots. I'd say little under a half had Air Force Ones or some type of sneaker, rest had Timberlands. I just don't get riding without the right gear. Anyway anyone near me should come out so I don't feel so out of place on a Monster.

At least he was wearing full gear when he hit the car ;D
CountGreffi, I know that hooters night in union. It's an interesting crowd, I went once long ago.
you must go stompin' in yo AF1's my man.
I also hope for carnage, but that is everything, not just squids (even home shopping ads - look up the sword guy and the ladder guy).
If I witness somebody trying to 'stunt' and it goes badly for them, I do plan on pointing, laughing, and generally making a scene. Then again, I'm a large mammal and am not worried about any ensuing confrontation.
This is a derby but I love this these 2

Sorry to get off point/topic. But yes I was one of the fewer drops of milk in that cup of coffee (if anyone gets my drift). They all had rider vests that said their "Blank Blank Motorcycle Club" on it, but no leather jackets. It's all about fashion over functionality. But I think it's just as squidly to see someone all geared out looking like they are gonna hit the track, and they go to Starbucks. It's become to the point where guys get bikes to get pu$$y. That's what it seems like these guys are doing. Not saying all are like that, and most of us probably aren't. But it's doing something just to do it. These guys don't take their bikes to the track, and push it to the limits. They wanna look cool, and that puts a bad taste in the populations mouth when they think of motorcycle riders.
You would think common sense would kick in and he would pul in the clutch. [roll]
I'm going to keep my burn-outs confined to my videogames... [thumbsup]
By the way, those videos are great.
Isn't that the new superman maneuver?
Superlame, I mean "Superbike" here we come. [laugh]

That one sickens me. She had to have been hurt pretty badly.

I remember when this first started circulating moto forums. She posted pictures of herself a few days after, really bad road rash [puke] . It's a shame too because she was hawt :-\
She was stupid to get on the bike with out gear but it makes it worse since the A Hole tossed her off. [bang]
Dude!... you guys just don't know... that is the new sport bike version of the "SUPERMAN".... unfortunately the car played kryptonite. [laugh] that was great... but i hope he is ok
If that was my daughter, I would have given that guy one hell of an ass-WHOOPIN! Then I would have back-handed her for being so stupid to...1) hang out with that guy and, 2) wearing a tank-top and jeans on a moto.
I also saw the after photos of her, and she WAS hot. Emphasis on the "WAS."
It's one thing to be reckless on a motorcycle, but to do it when you have a passenger ??? [roll]
It's idiots like this that are going to get the cops and general public to hate motorcycles.
For some odd reason, I love watching these videos. It's as if I get to see the parts I only wish I could see, but don't. That chick flopped like a bag of beans. I kept replaying it, and replaying it. Oh it's too much. You guys keep posting these great vids. Good forum, I've noticed a lot of people joining in. There is this one video on YouTube is someone can find it, with these guys from Boston teaching their friend to ride and he 12's it. Priceless video. Forum should have a thread soley for these video's and it should be stickied. I'd label it either "Idiots-R-Us", "The Adventures of Squidly", "The Many Adventures of Squidly", "Squidly and Friends", "The Amazing Squidly" or just plain "S.Q.U.I.D.S. (Don't try this at home)"
One more... full gear.

Nice of them to put "Ducati" front and center- draggin' a good name through the mud, I tell ya!
Injuries:
Torn right shoulder muscle.
Nerve damage in right leg.
Mild concussion.
"Boris"
Despite accident, plans to ride again.
If there was any audio, I rarely listen to it so haven't translated. I imagine it would say he's a reckless dipshit with lousy judgment, poor riding skills, and incredible luck.
He slid very well it a 10 [thumbsup]
