haha, I picture those guys at the end just pulling off the track and going home.  I wonder what they thought seeing that 40 year old machine passing them ;D

Sobering. This has had over 13 million view since I first saw it a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I were passed on the GS today by a guy riding the same way in traffic and it made me think of this video.  Fair warning, it is a bummer.

Some people have no sense. Really?

A. Shouldn't be on a motorcycle.
B. Riding way over his skill level.
C. Shouldn't own a motorcycle.
D. All the above.

Taken off the Ducati forum I'm on. He is a member.

Keep an eye on the RC 8 his buddy was riding and the car.

Fricken idiot.

Me too, a touch of luck as well, that big clump of rock that could have killed him, saved him as well.....a terrifying butt clenching event caused by incompetence, inexperience and misplaced bravado.. ::)

I have watched this more than once and felt it necessary to post it up.

Every time I go around a blind curve I will think of this. Once, on old Route 66 riding to Oatman, AZ a motorhome did the same thing. There are several signs stating "No vehicles over 40 feet".

Sure enough it was one of those long babies and pulling a car! Thankfully we were both going slow due the curves.

It was close.

The closest I have come to this was from behind, I was on one of my 750's, I was slowing and indicating to go left when some fool,  day dreaming behind me,  on a 500 four, ran straight into me without even braking, luckily i stayed upright while he slid down the road and knocked the wind out of himself, all I got was a bent rear guard... ;D :o ::)

The comments are hilarious. Most people missed the point and liked it as a song.

Most people in the states don't know that down under, for a time, he was bigger than the Beatles.

Kevin Murphy, one time drummer of The Aztecs, was a regular customer of mine when I worked part time at a gas station. He never drove his car, which was a good thing, because I can't ever remember seeing him straight, or sober. I think Billy was much the same. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
