I kept seeing the ads for it last night. Looks like a Red/Black Busa with a rider BEHIND it hanging on from the rear at speed! Sparks are flying from his boots which are sliding on the pavement. I've got to see this - whatever it is.

Probably some crazy Brit!

Did you really mean thumbs down there KawAbuser?

I've never seen the board so active and interesting! It's great!

Todd...it's not a crazy Brit. It's FC trying to make an arrest.

Funny DP! Well it was not on tonight's show. I wasted over half an hour watching a sword swallower and two guys bust boards on their heads for nothing! They finally previewed some clips coming on future shows and there it was - a red/black Busa. Seems they are going to hang on from behind and ride the pavement with TITANIUM boots. They didn't say what the exact date was it would be shown on.

I too, wasted an hour waiting to see this.I wonder if the preview was from a prevous show.

 

[OB_GrumpyCop]

Sorry guys. I wasted an hour to see only two seconds of the clip too. False advertising to get viewers. The atv was kinda cool though

If you haven't seen Gary Rothwell in person you are missing out. He is the god of motorcycles. I go to Pocono every year just to see him (and walk the midway). He's the best. Rolling stoppies with people on the back. While sking behind the bike at Pocono he actually lets go of the bike and waves to the crowd then grabs the bike and leaves. The best part of the sking is him getting back on the bike. He stands on the tank and rides by at like 30mph. He lays on his back and steers with his feet. He has a 1200 Bandit that he wheelies so far over that the rear fender drags on the ground. Did I mention he's the best I've seen? The article in this issue of Sport Rider has a few stunt guys rating higher than Gary. I wish they'd come to the states.

WE NEED A LA BUSA MEMBER TO RECORD THIS FOR THE SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OB_Gary]

Well, they sucked me in too. I watched the whole show. I agree the ATV was the only thing that was interesting. Even when that fellow made a GOOD jump it looked painful!

If you've seen Gary Rothwell's video, he does the same routine of hanging off the back of I think a ZX-11. He has a throttle mounted on the rear. Guess I'll have to tape this show the next few times so I can FF through the boring stuff.

 

[OB_Dirty Pete]

I saw the clip last night too. Guts or what.

The showed in the previews that the segment with the busa is to be on next week. They must have been showing the wrong commercial for the show this week.

Jamie,I've seen Gary at Laguna Seca raceway and that guy rocks,he's the best in my eyes.I'd like to do some of the stuff that he does only problem is I keep thinging I would damage my Hayabusa.I wonder how many bikes Gary has damaged and at what age he started doing stunts like that.
