Uturn Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDBDkVI0Cn4]YouTube - Human bobsled vs. motorcycle[/ame] I saw this and wonder if it's the prototype for a 3rd Gen? Disadvantage - NO 2UP Advantage - Ignition switch won't go BAD ...right RiderDuke?? MIKE aka Uturn
nelsonrl Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think so - no where to put the cassette player.
flb_78 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think so - no where to put the cassette player. They throw in a free Sony Walkman!!! http://blog.makezine.com/4641903_69d553df11.jpg
mraf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Anythings possible.The size of the average Venture rider would split this 3rd gen to pieces though. Can you imagine how big a semi tire would look to you on the interstate at 70 mph.
Dragonslayer Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Brakes? We don't need no sticking Brakes!!!!!
dynodon Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Obviously a contrived win, the bike was laying back so the guy could pass, and taking a wrong line during those times. Entertaining, but about as legit as a pro wrestling event.! LOL Plus, why don't they turn the bike and human around and try it uphill....how fast is human skateboard going to feel then? Heck I could beat that guy uphill on my first gen in first gear only.....maybe.
Squeeze Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 That Rider is a slow Poke, he never really tried to take a Corner with even some Effort. What about some plain old Skate Boarding .... at 75 mph down a steep Part of the Autobahn near Stuttgart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piIpz1tewEg
PBJ Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Yeah it did look a bit staged but then again there where some pretty steep switch backs and you can't take those too fast, The bike looked like a Honda 919.but it was fun to watch and looked like fun too. I'd give it a try.
roadwarrior Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I think I will stick with my 2nd generation.
Tartan Terror Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I saw this and wonder if it's the prototype for a 3rd Gen? Disadvantage - NO 2UP Well If you turned him over and put the wheels on the back you may be able to have a passenger!!
