The scene, cut from the 1987’s 21 Jump Street series shows newbie Johnny Depp getting a motorcycle riding lesson from a track racer. One down, five up? That is not the approach towards riding! Nice attempt though.
They say no racer tries hard enough if it doesn’t eventually end up crashing, but we have no reason to question Michael Schumacher’s ambition as these pictures reflect that best.
Practicing at Sachsenring for the German Superbike, the former F1 champion skid the peg too much until it ended up crashing his Honda CBR1000RR during a high-speed corner. The funny part is the face he made while preparing to face the unforgiving test of the asphalt
Brainiac Richard Hammond is out to find the answer to a question only possible in the famous TV show: is a firework faster than the Fireblade or can a golf ball beat both at the same time.
With a top speed of 190 mph, the Honda is a fierce contender, but fireworks are also extremely fast accelerating, as well as golf balls. So in order to see which one is faster, the biker gets a 50 yard run out while the other two racing..things go from a standstill.
I wouldn’t put my money on the bike even though I have a feeling it won’t be the last one.
Remember the news about Michael Schumacher riding Team’s Ten Kate Honda Fireblade? Well, this is the video which completes it. Looks like the two wheels offer a whole new kind of excitement for a seven times F1 champion. Just look at him go around those corners!
When the lion is out to get your zebra neck, you’d better jump on the first Honda CBR929RR Fireblade and make your escape into the savanna. Better watch out for the threes as you don’t want to alert the leopard. In that case, you’ll be in for some stiff competition and you know how great the stake is. Actually, you’re the stake!
