Jump start it.

Could not see a brain cell between them though.

[bert_is_evil]

Jeez there are so many things wrong with that.

[Devil]

What fucking morons.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Maybe the clutch plates were stuck together and they were foolishly trying to get them to free up!

[Taz]

Didn't start..... Hmmmm think we need a faster tow vehicle!

[martybabe]

That'll do it.Bike wont start? well sling it down the road then. A mashed up bike,some nice road rash and it still wont start. Top job. :clap:

[homer]

They forgot common sense.

I doubt they had enough of anything to even forget it

[Livvy]

I doubt they had enough of anything to even forget it
Ooooh. That's mean.

But sadly, potentially true.

[Skyryder]

In my day it was called 'dropping' the clutch. The idea is to rev the engine 'drop' the clutch and lift up the front wheel.

come on don't knock them to hard!
I mean what the hell else would have to laugh at if people like this didn't exist.

[CookMySock]

aww its pretty tragic really. poor bastards.

At least the second guy simply make some stupid errors due to lack of control and skill.

The first guys actually planned out their tragedy. The whole group of them must have thought "this is a viable idea. We are all really smart."

Now was it a coincidence that I detected the faint twang of an American accent?

Yep, tow starting an Aprilia, great idea. They are a real slag to push start because of the dinner plate sized pistons.

Tow starting is not that hard if you know what you're doing. The rope just has to be attached to the frame rather than the forks. I've done it before with good success and no dropsies. The fairing would have to come off the Aprilia to do it right though. Made even easier the lower the rope is attached to the tow vehical.

[Mikkel]

It's not nice to laugh at other peoples misfortune - but fuck me it is impossible not! :lol:

The camera man was very professional, didn't waver at all when things started to go haywire... as if he was somehow expecting it. Bastard! :niceone: "Are you alright? (smile for the camera)"


They forgot common sense.

See image below :yes:

A spectacular effort though!

Planning? I hope not... :no: If so I think these fellas should settle for "happy-go-lucky".

Sadly - yes.

[cowboyz]

the first vid. Just shake your head and walk away. FFS. Isnt rocket science to work out the end result there. As for tow starting a bike, if you must do it then it is better to hold on to the rope with one hand so if anything goes wrong or astray you can drop it. (the rope not the bike) Takes a couple of goes to get it right but usually not hard to work out.
The second guy, well he is on a drag strip. Probably a bit nervous and alot keen. Quite impressive though.

[Sully60]

What a bunch of high minded arseholes you lot are!

The first guys obviously thought there was good reson to attempt what they did, okay they could have gone about it a differently and they end up looking like chumps.

It's not easy towing bikes wether towing or being towed.:no:

I like to send you on all on a trail ride in the sand with only a 1/4 of a tank of gas and see how well you go at being towed home!





It's quite interesting how much a bike being dragged on it's side in the sand slows down a TRX350.

[Livvy]

See image below :yes:

I LOVE. :lol: :love:

I'm sorry to disregard my own gender but I do think as a rule, men are on average better drivers... so F for Female... Don't get me wrong gals, I'm very proud about being a chick but it is proven men make better drivers!


lol...americans.

Most of the time, yes indeed. Like when they've moved to a country like NZ, have been drinking and then forget what side of the road to drive on...

[MIXONE]

Man, this place is full of holier than thou, full of shit people...


Sadly - yes.

And thank god there is a few that can laugh at funny things in life.
PS I did the same thing getting tow started when I was young and dumb(er) so know exactly what it feels like.I laughed about it then and continue to do now.
So :finger:
