It would seem that the marketing team at Volkswagen watched Back to the Future one too many times before coming up with the idea for their latest commercial for the Volkswagen Polo. Just like in the Michael J. Fox series of films, a group of rough and tough leather wearing hot shots come into a diner ready to start some trouble with a Marty McFly type character. The in diner antics lead to a drag race where our protagonist’s Polo is set to take on a lead sled from the fifties. Only when the flag girl waves the start of the straight line competition, the Volkswagen driver merely inches forward to claim a greater prize.
If it wasn’t for all the protest signs, it might seem that these Tel Aviv riders are having quite a motorcycle parade, but the reason why they are stripped to their underwear is, obviously, explained on their signs, which say: ’The protest spreads/strips around the country’ or ’The insurance companies strip you naked’. Hmm, still not elucidated? Israel’s Minister of Finance recently decided to raise insurance fees for motorcycles and this is the motorcycle community’s original response. Could they possibly be more conceivable?
This Japanese biker rides his Honda NSR50 to the very limit and beyond. Although the bike is destined to novices, by watching the video you’ll find that this guy has long passed that stage and he is now even able to touch the asphalt with his head and manages to pivot himself and his ride around that point. Simply unbelievable!
We’ve come across a very funny video showing an actor from Hollyoaks, the famous UK television soap opera, trying to pass over an easy obstacle at the Red Bull Romaniacs, the hardest enduro rallye in the world. The guy actually manages to see his way over the obstacle, but gets too enthusiastic about it and…and he brings home a nice story, just as the boss told him to. Just look at him go.
MotoGP star Valentino Rossi gives fans the opportunity to see him in intimate postures on his new website www.valentinorossi.com. Whether he is sleeping, relaxing with the cows or even wearing boxer shorts on his head after doing the laundry, Valentino shows how MotoGP riders have to enjoy every second of their free time so that they can give even the impossible out on the racing track.
The site was also created to offer news, videos and photos (including behind-the-scenes) of Valentino Rossi from every GP round, so it should keep fans pretty hooked up.
This retired scrambler has clearly had better days, but continues serving the owner in a way that reflects his long gone days of glory. Would you do this to your motorcycle when it will break down for good?
Through this video, the American Motorcyclist Association sends a message to all drivers to “watch out, you don’t know who may be on that motorcycle.” I say just don’t be the guy in that car regardless of the odds to actually meet the rider any time soon because most of them don’t get to live for payback time.
If you were thinking about this dentist, you were close although not close enough.
Motorcyclists are known to be heavy drinkers (not all of them, what’s fair) and I believe that this funny creation gives a final verdict related to what this guy likes most in his life: his bike and his barrels. Combining these two passions must have required plenty of work, but the end result is well worth the effort. Although we’re not sure the thing is actually functional (we hope it isn’t) we wish he doesn’t come across the police any time soon.
If my guess is right, the motorcycle crying behind all that fur is a Yamaha FZR. What I cannot guess is why anyone would ever want to do something like this to a fully-faired motorcycle. Most likely a female motorcycle rider is trying to bring “the fluff factor” in the attention of the motorcycle press or this is simply some strange form of urban camouflage. Still, this is like wearing your overcoat during the summer.
Yamaha Motor USA has released a video revealing the Ben Spies method of winning Superbike races on his Yamaha R1 motorcycle and the famous racer is the actual one explaining all about his well kept secrets. Ok, so not even I believe what I just wrote, but at least it’s an attempt not to blow Yamaha’s cover and allow you the joy of watching such a funny video, which features all Yamaha racing riders.
