At least it could possibly outrun the ugly.

That's certainly green. The seat looks like it's been out of the fridge for too long.

I bet they were going for a "british racing green" theme and failed to really research the paint. That's the only way I can see a reasonable person choosing that paint job. Reasonable person could be the sticking point here.

If anyone has a kevlar-reinforced business suit, it is James Bond.

D3O shoulder pads, add in elbow patches, maybe even knee patches. ATGATT, and dapper as gently caress.

Anyone know where this ride is? It looks awesome.

There's also one called Mick Doohan's Motocoaster in Australia.

Video games are for children. Dr. Who, Sherlock and Community need to be canceled. Firefly sucked.

Everything you like is bad, everything I like is good and cool. I've had sex. I've stuck my big rod into a babe and it was good. There's proof I've had sex, where's yours ?

Does the end the Doohan coaster involve punching strip club bouncers at age 50?

Looks like the last two bikes have sidecars, probably to accomodate people who for some reason can't or doesn't want to ride bike style.

I've been on it not long ago, if you're even a little overweight getting in the bike style ones would be nigh on impossible. You sit in it in a similar position to what you would on a bike and the front comes down over your knees while the thing behind locks you in properly, I'm a tall lanky guy myself and it wouldn't have taken much more meat on my thighs to stop the front thing from locking in.

The benefit of this style of restraint is then endless amounts of entertainment while lining up by watching people who've never seen a bike before try contort themselves into weird positions trying to figure out the restraints.

I don't see anything wrong with the color specifically. More with the overuse of it. Frame, swing arm, and wheels seems overboard. That said, green is one of my favorite colors for a motorcycle.

I think in the longer version of this the bike on the right gets the left's keys and immediately throws them away.

The other bike is all 'kidding bro sorry, here's your keys' and hands them over before realizing his are at the side of the road requiring him to duck walk over and get off his bike.

Seconding this. Also I've found the best place to record audio in your usual house/apartment is the closet with the door closed. Blocks out most outside sounds, and the hanging clothes absorb any echos. :eng101:

Your submission and Silver's response are both great, hope you get the bike!

Have you posted it in the GBS youtube thread? Confirm with a mod, but I don't think there would be a problem adding the link to the competition.
