Or better yet....

The best thing about the movie... was that it ended!

I saw the promo for this where the dude does a 180 stoppie on the train.

That was enough for me!!

1st. It wasn't a "rocket bike" it was a Turbine Y2K. It uses a "turbine" engine and is driven via the rear wheel just like most bikes.

2nd. It wasn't a Harley racing it, it was a Yamaha. Sort it out.

3rd. The whole movie was a piss take, similar to Scary Movie, Blazing Saddles, that sort of shit and for what it was, I thought well executed. The stunts were supposed to be fake, that's the point. It had 4 or 5 references to bad Fast and Furious quotes in it.

Biker Boyz on the other hand was a worse story, with real stunts. The extras on the DVD of BB is well worth watching.

the amount of money they spent on that film, I think they were going to a 'light hearted' version, but not for a crapfest. Haven't seen biker boyz, so can't comment. Might get it on dvd for the extras then.. ta

I liked it, that "cars suck" opening scene more than makes up for the rest of it.

[QUOTE=TonyB]
The chase scene with the Y2K and the Harley is just fucken stooooopid. Going soooo fast that backwash from the bike causes mayhem

, but the Harley stays in front QUOTE]
It wasn't a Harley the bad dude was riding a Yamaha Warrior.
The film was crap and intellectual mush but that's not such a bad thing when you want to get away from what's real. You guys are all too uptight about things motorcycle.

This photo is as much of torque as I've seen - more than enough.

I added the caption.

yup, quite right check it our here http://www.bikez.com/bike/index.php?bike=20021

I can't even imagine what would possess someone to ride that. Shit, you wouldn't want to be standing next to the exhaust!!

**bugjuice** · 21st June 2005, 15:37

oh, and how they can slam a cell phone to their helmet and talk as if they weren't wearing a lid? yahuh...
but everyone can read a map while taking both hands off the handlebars while not looking, and you don't loose speed (does the engine noise actually increase? can't remember, I was laughin too hard)... dumbasses

few facts wrong on that page, but still..
I like at the bottom it has 'Insurance, loans, tests'. Right, where can I book a test ride then?

k, you're coming down from 200mph+, which gauge to you
quickly check so that you make sure you aren't going to blow up?

Imagine pulling up in the gas station in that, and filling up with diesel.. Just wouldn't look right..

I can imagine what the insurance company says when you decribe your latest purchase!! Wonder what it sounds like, does anyone have a vid clip of it?

Those arn't cell phones. It's a radio unit for a bike. Where he put it is where it plugs in to the built in speakers and mike in the helmet. The unit you saw is just the sender/reciever part of it.
