the first one of these I've seen in person. Looks sharp! (as in you could cut yourself on that tail section) (click for huge) I'm guessing the number plate TW4T was taken

I wouldn't turn down a ride if someone handed me the keys though!

What do you do when you have delicious Mexican leftovers, but no backpack? Tape it to your goddamned back, that's what. Leave no taco behind.

I have dropped food down the front my jacket before when I was without a bag. Works pretty well.

That was the original plan, but my jacket is too tight for taco transportation. It wasn't a buying point I had thought to check out before purchase

Really nice video HNasty, you have some great scenery around there. If you don't mind me asking where did you film this? Content: I was shocked to see that the uploader isn't dead yet. Should have just titled the video "Stupidity". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZoWiUkxSr4

While this guy is a complete idiot, I really like his choice of camera positioning. You really feel like you are the idiot about to smash into something, rather than attached to the helmet and just floating in space.

Bird strike! I might have noticed the bird coming, but all my brain registered was something small and dark coming towards me really fast. I just thought it was a leaf, insect or even a raindrop. I never heard or felt an impact. A mile or so later I noticed feathers sticking out from under the instrument cluster. Poor little birdy

Luckily it landed where it did and didn't hit you. I got hit by a bat about a month ago going 45ish. Knocked the wind out of me and left a nice baseball sized bruise on my chest for a couple days.

Crashing in the dealer's lot is like od'ing just up the street from the hospital, or having your car burst into flames in front of a fire hall - sure it's embarassing, but at least you don't have to go far.

One of my local dealerships will often take bets on whether someone will drop their brand new bike before leaving the parking lot. It's pretty obvious when they will.

For the Chicago/Norther Indiana goons there was Chicago Cycle center. just about everyone that worked there was a douchebag. Less than 200 feet from their parking lot going west was a set of really rough railroad tracks crossing the road. I would have loved to have seen it more than the once I had where someone on their brand new bike would tear out of the parking lot, hit the rough tracks, suddenly go WOT, and they'd be standing there while the bike took off for the horizon on it's own. The unlucky ones would get a sudden visit from Mr. Wheelie and loop the bike on top of themselves. The day I picked up my first 08 bandit there was a kid there getting his new GSXR1K. He pretty much did what the kid in the video did, but add in the guy I saw scraping against a few bumpers of parked cars before the bike met the pavement...

If you consider new tires to be slippery then I can't imagine what you will think when you run race takeoffs for the first time. Those rubber chunks are slippery as a motherfucker until you scrub them off.
