Probably Marquez but there's no video of it. It was a practice session somewhere and there were no video cameras on that turn at the time. Just a few stills. Also if I ever see a video of Guy Martin talking where I can understand more than half of it, I'm gonna be really disappointed. I hope fame and notoriety doesn't make him more intelligible.

Slim Pickens posted:I like the fact that I can hear this entire thing in my head in guy's voice. I heard a rumor he was gonna be a host of the recocked top gear, it's too bad that didn't happen. The problem is that Guy's actually competent at both driving and spanner twirling so it wouldn't be anywhere near as much fun as the original. I'd watch the poo poo out of a bike version of Top Gear with him, Shakey Byrne and 90s Suzy Perry before she went all prime-time though.

After watching hundreds and hundreds of people owning themselves in each and every possible way, it gets easier and easier to predict what is going to happen.

So, uh, apparently motorcycle Hypermiling is a thing. These are people who love Ninja 250s (and why not, they're cool bikes) but uh, I think they're taking this "love" thing a little too far.   Half of me is thinking "good on them for having a hobby" and the other half is "Oh my god those poor Ninjas".  You can look at them all here.

That's awesome. Not like you can 'ruin' a first gen 250 anyway. Seems to me first step would be FI for efficiency.

The yellow one actually has a prius headlight stuck on. Gotta be +5 efficiency. You can't ruin a pregen 250 because they are perfect in every way.

Collateral Damage posted:So what do they do when they encounter a crosswind? In one of the threads I was perusing through, the one guy admitted that a CHP officer pulled him over because he got caught in a crosswind and the bike was being pushed around the lane. He claims the cop let him off after asking about bike because I guess it's not illegal in and of itself, but yeah, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing on a windy day. Here4DaGangBang posted:Jesus, no number of miles to the gallon is worth getting decapitated by your screen if you hit something. That was my other thought. On the one hand, you're decapitated, but on the other, your severed head planting itself onto the hood of the person you wrecked into would cause probably psychologically damage them to the point they'll never turn left at a stoplight again.

It's funny, I haven't seen many diesel spills in ages, though I remember seeing lots as a kid, then today it's pissing it down and the whole 5 miles to work there's a diesel spot every 10m or so.

Yeah, no poo poo, I kept waiting for a fist coming into the frame and breaking his nose. I don't know if I could have kept from doing that. That guy (and his girl) both have some admirable self control.
