    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.

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

    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! "Are you alright? (smile for the camera)"

    Planning? I hope not... If so I think these fellas should settle for "happy-go-lucky".

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    So if someone were a stupid Asian tourist on a learner licence their car would have a sign saying "LAST"??

    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.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    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.

    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.
