Only a Fool Would Dare Try and Outride a Man on a GS

halfthrottle, I think some of us are just jealous of the trails you've got access to. Keep posting the vids.
 
Really enjoyed those, and am not at all jealous of having those trails to arse around on. Keep 'em coming.

Living near the mountains in Utah really means there is an unlimited amount of trails, and twisty mountain roads to cruise on. Most of those video's I posted were filmed less than 30 minutes from where I live. Of course those trails are covered in snow right now :(
 
This video isn't too exciting, but it is a great motorcycle road through the mountains. Perfect to ride on a hot summers day since the high altitude keeps things nice and cool.

This was the most difficult trail John and I went on in our little GS vs. V-strom series. Both of us regretted it. We both dumped our bikes at one point along the very rough road. It was an adventure for sure.

That last one looked fun, although I'm surprised your mate didn't appear to be wearing armour, or any protection at all for that matter, other than his lid. Which I assume was a Suzuki one, shipped in from Japan, with special white painted logo? I'm also a little surprised, but happy to see, someone taking a 650 V-Strom on such trails, I've always thought they were more of a road bike, kudos to the guy.

Yeah he has taken a lot of flack for not wearing any protection in that video. I was sweating to death in my jacket, but I know how often I fall down!

His helmet is an Arai.
 
Great vids, very funny. I was told that Americans don't do irony, but the early replies indicate I was misinformed and it's the Brits that don't.

LOL yeah it this first video really seemed to stir up a lot of contention. Did people really think I was being serious about the GS being able to "defy gravity"?

BMW doesn't sell they're fancy helmets in the U.S. So I had to make my own.

I have to say I laughed out loud at some of the quite idiotic responses to your videos matey.. It just goes to show how thick some people on this site are. And why the term 'tossers' is so very appropriate... on so many levels.

Anal.. is another good term for some of them.. or just plain stupid. :thumb


But then this is one of the reasons I find this site so entertaining.


You could have titled your post 'Only a fool would take these videos seriously' - welll as you've probably noticed we have more than our fair share of 'fools' and you've gotta love em.


welcome to the forum. :D

Having people overreact to those video's was surprising. But I loved reading all the comments. I wondered if the very first comment would have been something like "Wow that video was so funny I loved it." If other commenters would have caught on that yes I was actually joking and having a good time with my video's.

Instead it was negative which seemed to catch on. Enraging all the other tossers, which probably gave my video's more views so it's all good.
