Cool,

I passed, but then, I wasnt counting the balls..

Bloody good though..

It was easy..

Yeah that's a good one, seen a similar thing with a "monkey" walking by.

Passed the test counted 13 but didn't see the "bear". Good drill aye.

Just shows if we're fixated on one thing we won't be aware of other things around us.

Yep, thought provoking isn't it?

Got the passes, missed the bear...

**Kittyhawk** · 15th March 2008, 13:22

I feel slightly strange...at the fact I wasnt like the rest eeep...

**Stromble** · 15th March 2008, 13:51

Did no one see the guy on the R1 pulling a wheely in the background...?

That's terrible, I failed both the counting (missed one because of glare on my screen) and didn't even notice the bear.

But hmmm, isn't there a thread up somewhere talking about something like this, about how drivers will more easily "see" cyclists/horses/pedestrians etc as their car is a threat to them, other cars as a threat to their car, but won't see motorbikers as helmets hide our faces (so we don't register as "human" or "living") and we're not a threat?

iam pretty sure if you didnt see the bear you failed... monkeys could count the passes

**motorbike.ventures** · 15th March 2008, 15:10

hehehe, that was cool...

I didn't see the bear but I wasn't even counting the passes cause the internet connection was choppy.... and I still didn't see the bear, lol

Downside of this of course is they'll put the bear in a high-vis vest and do the same thing...and everyone will see him.

And then all of a sudden we be required by law to wear em!!

Touch wood mate!

Let's hope they damn well don't... Got nothing against hi-vis, great idea I think, but let us make our own choices 'cause I'm sure as hell just gonna stick to black with reflector patches.

Ok so after stuffing my first attempt and forgetting the link to the video, and the post getting subsequently dumped into PD...

Got sent an email from a friend a month ago and decided to post it here for others to see (after finding a link online to the video)

And i sure as hell didnt see it

Please dont spoil the impact with any comments posted
