It's almost always on a trailer for mediums and closeups, even if it's Steve McQueen. It's as much for the crew's sake as it is the actor's.

The vastly more important point here is that Tom Hardy is surely into bieks because normal people hamfist the bars like they're on the rowing machine.

There are a squillion and a half actual dirtbikes in the Australian outback, so there is no reason whatever why anybody in its post-apocalyptic desert would put big expensive knobbies on some retarded flat-2 cruiser but oh poo poo is that a kickass-looking steed or what?

My thoughts exactly.

Seeing that goldwing was made me giggle since I had one for awhile, those things are fun. Looking at that picture though, it looks like they have a metal bar welded above and below the rear shock! I also don't know how they managed to keep track of the sidecover, or that little shiny plastic frame bolt cover directly beneath it.

Hush, that's a buell. I don't really know why Suzuki get ragged on so much. Yes, they're poo poo, but at their core, after everything else falls off/peels/rusts/turns to brittle dust, they're extremely rugged and reliable motorcycles. It's no surprise that Honda and Suzuki tend to be so popular in IOMTT and other forms of racing where dependability are paramount.

The films influenced many of them, and no doubt vice versa. http://www.rippin-kitten.com/2011/02/22/survival-bikes-aka-matte-black-rats/

You'd think that after he ran wide in every single corner leading up to his crash he'd have considered slowing down, lucky he was doing this on a Monday so there wasn't a lot of traffic to run into instead of just running off the edge of the road when he ran wide on a left hander.

Day Man posted:Wow, that is impressively terrible I don't often watch these because 10 minutes of my life, and they generally devolve into esoteric and nitpicky observations about weight shift, pinky placement, etc. This, however, is easily the worst I've seen and horrible in every way. I'm certain I could do better even with my zero/donut/bupkis hours of sport bike saddle time. The obvious stuff has already been pointed out, but I don't get the reflexive jerky head checks in one or both directions, as if there are hidden driveways or leaping panthers along the Gap.

I feel like if that was the case, he would at least not be fixating so badly. And maybe slowing down after blowing so many corners...

As crashes go, it could've been much worse, but I don't get how someone who not only goes over the double yellow multiple times, almost all the way to the white line on the opposite road doesn't just slow way the gently caress down and reassess.

Ten seconds in to that video, I felt that certainty in the pit of my stomach that he was going to crash. It became dread every time another rider or cager came into shot, it became a "will this be the person or persons he kills?", in the end he got off lightly for the amount of stupidity he exhibited.

I feel sorry for his Triumph. Bad enough to be born so ugly, looking like a Suzuki Katana, but to be misused so dramatically adds insult to injury. Further insult is added by his jacket; I wonder if doofus himself thinks it is, in fact, a Katana... I never don't feel like I need 100,000 more miles of practice, but at least I'll be able to tell myself I'll never be quite that inept. Glad he didn't get hosed up by the crash. It wouldn't have been nearly as funny if he'd died.
