Old You Tube Vid

[Goose Boy Vtr]

HMMMMM, was looking at crap on YOUTUBE last night and came accross an MCN road test. Im sure alot of you may have seen it. (just search MCN FIRESTORM) Its a road test on a STORM vs APRILA MILLIE and a SUZUKI TL1000. I wont go into details but have a look, personally i think they gave the storm a right hard time! They obviously no nothing! BUT there again it was a YELLOW one so that didnt help! See what you think anyway! I would put a link up straight to the page if only i knew how!!!

copy the link and put {youtube} at one end, {/youtube} at the other, no spaces, but with square brackets instead of wiggly ones ;)
or click the youtube tab when you post & paste the link between the brackets, like you would with a pic

don't know if you've ridden a tl but they are fkin vicious lol!
i couldn't keep the wheel down, found it less of a gent round town than the storm, but you get a slipper clutch and better lights!
oh, and a steering damper on the later ones cos they have a tendency to nod at speed

poor vtr, it looked far worse than mine, i Know i had bent forks, but nothing like that .... poor thing

idd. looked like the frame had snapped under the yoke, the other looked a mess as well - see the back wheel rim
thought it was amusing they were so light hearted about it - if it was me id be well pissed off lol!
looks a nasty crash in the next one tho....

Yer but remember they wernt their own bikes, thats the differance lol

Always wanted a job like that when I was in my early twenties. Imagine that, getting paid to rag the ass of a bike and then do a write up on it can't be bad

Don't know who the others were, I think I recall Chris Walker doing a few as well as Shakey. I guess none of the others managed to get famous so we don't recognise them.

+2
for a bonus point, who's the passenger in the white tranny, part 5

Top vid that ages since I last watched it-however they ride that TL (or the Duc/Honda) like that I'll never know. Not an easy bike to shunt round at those speeds. Ace

[benny hedges]

The bit I can't get is how they do wheelies at speed. I can do corkers from the off, but not lifting it like they do.

and round bends lol done it a few times accidentally and totally shat meself, and the over the hill wheelies... i get a new trouser stripe when both wheels leave the ground!
fair enough on dirt where it's part of the fun, but on the road i like being, on the road
