    Absolutely insane is more like it. Famous red neck last words,"Hey, watch this"!!
    There will be headlines about scraping bodies off the pavement somewhere down the road. "To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid". I don't think they'll make it.

    Ok. YES that was freakin cool. How do these guys do this kinda stuff!? Geez.. My guess is LOTS of dropped bikes. I'd like to learn to do crazy stuff like that one day. Prefer not to endanger anyone elses life but my own though.
    Still. Stunting is pretty neat

    It's kinda odd how risk is so fun when your young.
    Then as you age you really have to pick and choose
    if a broken bone or seven is worth the effort.
    Im lucky to have had many of those along with the
    spare metal parts to remind me of how much time and fun
    you loose during the healing process.

    I feel the same way parts. I have had my glory days and my recovery days. The recovery days out weigh the glory days by far.

    no helmet, no protective gear, in traffic with concrete barriers on both sides with someone else's daughter. These are the type of folks I give the one figered salute to and love to have chats with, because this is all they know how to do, be stupid

    If that was my daughter and I saw this video I can guarantee one of two (if not both) things would happen. The next time the BF was over to visit there would be an accident involving his bike and any large piece if equipment within a mile of my house (you know..truck,tractor, semi tractor trailer, bulldozer, monster truck!!) and who knows...he might sustain some injuries trying to rescue his bike :roll:
    Morons like these give cycling a bad name. If you want to do it...like it's been said a MILLION times on this and other forums. DO IT ON A CLOSED COURSE. No need to jepordize the life of innocent travelers on the highway w/your stupidity... arghh!! too bad a LEO couldn't find and convict those DA's based on their youtube post...now THAT would be cool... 8)

    I just keep thinking of how far they would skid going that fast (their body...not the bike) and how little skin would be left on their bones.... ewww..

    That guy is the Number-1 Stupidest Guy with a Bike.
    That he would risk his life is bad enough.
    Risking the life of the girl with him, too ... was scary! Very scary.

    His License should be Revoked.
    His Insurance should be Canceled.
    His Bike should be Impounded.

    Then, the guy should be thrown in Jail.

    And if all that isn't enough, no eye protection either. Who the h*ll rides with no eye protection. This is stupid in a class all by itself.

    Honestly, this video is from a part of the world (somewhere in South-West Asia) where rules don't really apply. Especially to 'rich-kids' with expensive toys. (while the neighbors live in poverty)

    But, a more moderate country where a young woman CAN live dangerously while wearing her clothing of choice, (or operating a vehicle at all).

    I'm not sure where I am going with this........... but great 'cool-factor'

    Not sure where you got the SW Asia thing....

    But yeah..you're right... the laws of gravity physics don't apply in that region of the world. A big 'ol nasty bug will just bounce off an eyeball softer than an eyelash, and when the bike goes over or a tire blows, a cushion of air gently lowers the people to the ground as it slows their speed guides them to the safety of the shoulder of the road....

    Stupid is stupid...and gravity will fillet the wealthiest of morons as they slide down the pavement unprotected... it doesn't care about your pocket book or socioeconomic status. If you got mad skills you wanna show off..why not do it for a BIG crowd (in controlled environment) where YOU are the only one that will get hurt WHEN (not if) something goes wrong....oh and for those that think nothing goes wrong when you're 'good' at it...ask Indian Larry about cycle surfing..oh wait, that's right...we can't..

    Darwin's theory will eventually apply to this idiot sooner or later.
    Hopefully before he knocks up the girl....
    His lack of protection on a bike more than likely means a lack of protection in the sack as well.....

    Done WAY too many stupid things (back when I was young and had a beautiful body, which has long since gone bad) to comment on his stupidity :roll: ! Thankfully lived long enough to learn that not only am I not immortal, I'm not even invincible :oops: ...

    i saw a video on youtube yesterday of a guy doing something really stupid like this and a debate broke out in the comments section with some guy arguing that you can't possibly hit your head if you crash on a motorcycle going less than 30 or 40 mph. i need to find it.

    found it:

    She'll have lots of time for texting and tweeting from her hospital bed, if she can still move her fingers!

    Haha. People are retarded. A wheelie is one thing but putting someone else in danger like that is just stupid.

    of all the brain dead totally useless idiotic things to do with your lady on the bike this would have to take the cake. jeans , t-shirt and a pair of shoes does not make for safe riding gear pulling absurd stunts like that on the highway and in traffic. the same goes for the dumb b**ch sliding under him and moving forward on the bike. bet they won't think they're so cool when the car in front changes lanes and drills them because he could not see them with the head light pointed at the heavens instead of the road and then spend the next six months in hospital.
    stunts are ok in a controlled enviroment and one up, but if bike inventors wanted us to ride on one wheel they would built the bike that way.

    Another thought come to mind -
    If they do go down because of his stupidity, think of the traffic behind him at that speed. Some are not able to stop as fast as they need to, some are not drivign defencively and won't see them go down until it's too late and run right over them.
    Does the term "Vehiclular Homicide" ever crossed his mind. That's pretty much what he will face eventually (if he's still alive) That bike is a weapon at that point. Gun control? Should be bike control in this case.

    Showed the video to my riding partner. Told her we need to start practicing so we have the procedure down before the Oregon 250 ride in April. To my relief she declined both the training exercises and the execution of the stunt while on the ride.

    I hope the young man and the young lady live long enough to grow up and realize what folly this is. At some point maturity should kick in. If they live long enough.

    By the way - this is not an indorsement of that idiot on in the video. Just something cool I found online. There is another one invented in Canada by a college kid. It looks more like a crotch rocket with no front end.

    At least the guy in that last video was wearing a helmet, his dad should have wore one in the sack with his mom though.
