Video: Can You Guess What will Happen Next?


Simply put, there are some things you just shouldn't do with a motorcycle - i.e. attempt a wheelie on the move with three people on board. You can add to that over-loading your bike with products as if it were a two-wheel commercial vehicle.

If you're still wondering what we're talking about, click over the jump to find out what happens next in the short clip that follows.

Video: Here's Why a Three-some Wheelie is a Very Bad Idea


I think it's safe to say that at one point or another, we've all done something senseless on two or four wheels, especially at a younger age.

But seriously now, who in their right mind would attempt a wheelie on a motorized bicycle motorcycle on the move with three men on board? Guess they got what they were looking for….

Enjoy the video right after the break.

What a Bright Idea: Bicycle LED Lights are Not Only Cool but Also Promote Safety


Working in what appears to be a basement somewhere in San Francisco, two biotech employees and a former NASA engineer have developed a radically new lighting system…for bicycles.

While advances in bicycle technology don’t typically arouse my interest, I’m a sucker for shiny objects and the wheel-mounted Revolights are actually very cool.

Drawing power from a rechargeable lithium ion battery, the system consists of four “light rings,” each sporting a dozen LEDs and a dash of electronics. While stationary, the lights simply flash in sequence and are as every bit as boring as one might expect flashing lights on a bicycle wheel to be. But just get those wheels spinning and watch the magic happen!

Video: In China, the Ride Goes on Even if You're Missing a Wheel…


Albert Einstein once said, "Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving".

Apparently, this Chinese rider took the famed theoretical physicist’s saying a bit too seriously when he lost the front wheel of his bicycle. You can check the video for yourself right after the break.

Chuck Norris Approved: Motorcyclist Cheats Death, Walks Away


We don't know if it was beginners luck, a fluke, or for those that believe in the divine, a case of the Grim Reaper turning a blind eye, but fact is the rider of this motorcycle not only cheated death more times than once in this incident, but he actually walked away from the scene without a single scratch!

Youtube user Christocrous69, who uploaded the footage on behalf of a friend, says that the motorcyclist involved in the accident was a newbie having only driven for two months.

Motorcycle Wheelie Goes Terribly Wrong – or Why You Should Always Keep a Distance from Amateur Stunts…


Random stunt displays may capture people's interest but there is a very good reason why organizers at professional events keep the crowd back at a safe distance from the performer(s).

The video you're about to watch shows a motorcyclists attempting a wheelie in what is said to be a Suzuki GSX-R when he suddenly loses control and ends up smashing the bike in the face of two by standers…

Video: Policeman Attempts to Hit Moving Motorcyclists with Baton


We know for a fact that motorcyclists face many dangers on the road and are far more exposed to risks than people driving cars and trucks. Nevertheless, we didn't think that a police officer could pose a threat to the well-being of a biker…

If you watch the following video carefully, you'll see a NYPD Chevrolet Impala squad car pulling up in the middle of the road in an attempt to stop the oncoming motorcyclists, with the officer then jumping out and trying to hit the bikers with what looks like a police baton.

Video: A Very, Very Close Call for Biker



A motorcycle ride almost turned deadly for a biker and his passenger when an oncoming pickup truck literally passed inches away– if not touching the man's arm.

It all happens so fast that you will probably miss it the first time you view the video (freeze 12 seconds into the clip to watch the truck go by). Watch it for yourself in the video after the break.

Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept: The Japanese Antidote to the KTM X-BOW



If KTM could pull it off with the X-BOW, then why couldn't any other motorcycle maker take the leap and venture into the automotive business with a special lightweight sports car? Though it is a simple question, (obviously) the answer is far more complex than it seems at a first glance.

But in the fantasy land of designers, there are no restrictions or limits, only a desire to create. And for Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld, who we came to know through his Aston Martin V12 and BMW Nazca Homage prototypes, the answer to the previous question is the Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept.

World's Longest Scooter Measures 22m – 72ft in Length and Can Carry 25 People



A British plumber has built what he claims to be the world's longest scooter measuring an astonishing 22 meters or 72.2 feet in length, and all for the sake of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records.

To create the monster scooter, Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, connected the front and rear ends of two 125cc mopeds to an extended aluminum frame adding enough seating in between for 25 passengers.

This is What Happens When You Keep Your Eyes on the Girl and not on the Road


The title of this post is pretty much self-explanatory, but if you insist here's the skinny: a man riding his scooter on the road spots a young and apparently attractive woman dressed in a knee-high dress walking on foot.

And as it surely has happened to so many others, one quick look didn't satisfy our protagonist's curiosity (or possibly admiration) so he let his guard down and turned his focus away from the road to get a 360 view of the young woman… See what happens next after the break in the security camera footage.

DIY: How to Drive Your Face into the Sand


Scooters can be a fun alternative form of transportation and recreation, especially during summer vacations. However, as with any other motorized bike or any type of vehicle for that matter, you really need to keep your head up – literally.

Despite the comical end of this young man’s attempt to fool around with a scooter, we reckon that using his face to dig a hole in the sand sounds much better than the alternative ending had he managed to ramp his way over the lump of sand… Follow the break for the video.

Dancing with the Bikes: The Most Twisted Video You’ll See Today


What you’re about to see in the following video is one of the weirdest motorcycle accidents ever with an unexpected -yet admittedly, highly enjoyable-twist.

It features two racing motorcycles and their respective drivers during a round of the promosport Championship at the Magny Cours track in France. The incident began when the first motorcyclist slips before a turn sending his bike sliding on the tarmac, and eventually hit a rider in front knocking him down from his bike.

Up until this point, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the incident. But as the two bikers get up and try to lift their motorcycles, it happens… See for yourself in the video after the jump.

Embarrassing Motorcycle Flip-Fail Caught on Tape


As this video proves, automobile drivers are not alone when it comes to dim-witted mistakes on the road. For unknown reasons, this particular motorcyclist was trying to manage the controls of the right handlebar of his high-performance bike with his left hand. And yes, as you may have already guessed, that’s a recipe for disaster.

Fortunately for the bike driver, the mishap occurred at low speeds and from the looks of it, he wasn’t hurt - at least not physically because his ego does seem a bit bruised… Click past the break to watch the amusing video clip.

VIDEO: Chilean Stunt Rider Leaps into Abyss on his Bike


Riding a motorcycle off a 3,300 ft / 1,000 meter high cliff is not something you see every day. Julio Munoz, a Chilean motocross rider, performed this daredevilish stunt in May 2011, as part of the 'BASE Project Los Andes' to promote the natural beauties of his country.

Rigged with special cameras, the 37-year-old paratrooper raced his 450cc motorcycle towards a specially prepared ramp and literally flew into the air before starting his descent. The bike crashed onto the rocks while Munoz successfully opened his parachute some 200 feet from the ground.

You’re sure to look dapper when cruising around in your dilapidated ’89 Mondial cabriolet 250 Testa Rossa in this fine helmet made of satin-finish aluminium, metalised thermoplastic and genuine leather.
