    I do realize this has absolutely nothing to do with XJ's but I had to share. It's just a mix video, mostly SQUID's showing off, but check out the commitment from the racer 1 min 47 seconds in. That guy doesn't know how to give up!

    It's no wonder the insurance is so high for those bikes!

    As serious a topic as behavior like that is ... I couldn't help but laugh at a couple of the clips where the screwballs lose-it and they take a face-plant while the bike rolls-off and wrecks.

    That one racer inn the yellow bike and yellow leathers is some kind of lucky to not have lost all of it and gone over the wall.

    I have no sympathy for the really, terminally stupid stuff that ended bad.
    You do that stuff and your inviting the disasters that tape clearly illustrates.

    Pity the poor guy who high-sided and had his bike follow him along the pavement ... both wiping-out a line of parked bikes until his stopped on top of him under another bike.

    My god thank you I'm not the first one to laugh outloud at this!

    Stunting is cool and all, and I'd love to own a streetfighter someday... but not to literally fight the pavement with... I'm sure it would win. Just need an airstrip, vacant lot, field... something better than a public road to be doing all this stupid (fun) stuff on.

    Oh, and I also pitty the guy who rolled into those parked bikes... If I was just standing around and some moron rammed into my bike I'd give 'em boots.

    The lesson? Don't just stand around your bike. :D :D

    Oh, I was chuckling at some of those myself. A couple were/are on the XJCD.

    As for the racer who recovered... no, he doesn't know how to give up. From what I understand, he ended up winning the race.
