The fool trying to jump over rider and bike coming at him at 40 mph wins the prize for being dumb ass of the day.

Serowbot should be there at the end of each crash and hand out one of his spatula's.  One would come in hand to scrape your remains off the asphalt.

Don't these idiots know Tom Cruise has a stunt double doing his bike tricks?   ::)

Man I can't watch stuff like that.
People doing stupid things deliberately make me cringe.
I can't relate.
I was a first responder for a while because I like to help people in need. No sympathy for the retards.  >:(

FS:  1 owner, low miles, never been dropped

Perhaps some were trainee stunt riders, and yes apprentices make mistakes. There is a possibility that some of them were trying to be "cool".

I'm conservatively cool...  that means, I make sure my kickstand is down before I get off the bike...
Cooooool... ;D...

I'm living on the edge, I put my kickstand down as I stop then land gently on the stand.   8-)

After 20000 miles plus of S40 riding I put the stand down on the wrong side of my friends cambered driveway. The bike fell on top of me with the engine running and pinned me. I couldn't reach the ignition and forgot about the kill switch eventually my friend pulled me out from under it, somehow I had got both legs under the bike. I was totally sober and drug free when this happened. I had a small gash in my leg which Whangarei Base Hospital didn't think need stitching so I bled all over my friends expensive brand new sheets, worse, I broke the right rear indicator on the bike. Rode home ok. No it wasn't and I didn't feel "cool".

When I was young, I learned to ride wheelies on my 125cc motocross bike.  It was about 18 HP and 200 pounds, and most of the training was done on a grassy hillside.  Trying to learn how to ride wheelies on a 100 HP, 400+ pound bike on pavement......not my idea of fun.

I suppose a lot of these kids grew up riding skateboards and are used to just dropping the board (bike) on the pavement when they step off.  You can ask Oldfellor or MMRanch.....I get a concerned when my bike gets dirty and needs to be washed - I just can't fathom routinely dropping it on the pavement - for fun!

I wonder how many of these bikes get broken and then the owners file insurance claims?

I agree with above.

FS: One owner, like new, never been stunted, never laid down, few scratches from when it fell off the kickstand.  Salvage title.

I have actually seen CL ads like this.

It did look like some of them were apprentice stunters and some were just dumb.  Wonder if the repair costs will teach them anything?

My Favorite  C.L. MC ads, are:

"Just a few scratches, probably from things falling the garage"
(With very dark, fuzzy photographs)  ::)

And if you ask a question, like:
 "Do you have a clear title in hand"
And they Answer:
"No but I can get one"  ;)

And the best:

" Just needs a little work"    ;D

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs...

I thought it was pretty funny. They were mostly low speed get offs withou much injury. Even the stunt experts would have done a whole bunch of these antics.

And if it weren't for clowns like this, he wouldn't have. Everyone f***s up now and again.

I didn't even watch it and still haven't.
It's one thing if you are trying to make a career out of it and are prepared.
I just expected to be watching idiots pulling wheelies and dropping the gf off the back of the bike at highway speeds.

Title: Re: Spills and thrills...
Post by gizzo on 07/03/14 at 18:18:33

Nah, I can't handle to watch that kind of thing either. This one was mostly good harmless fun. And it's pretty clear they're learners. Good luck to 'em.

I never have been able to figure this one out.....How could this possibly have had a happy ending?

Well at least a few of them had gear and bike cages.
The rest are just kinda dumb.
