Hi friends,
take a look at the below link - takes a while to get the stream running but it's worth while to wait for it.

Lol have to say that was cool, much more than the original Easy Rider.
HA! So it IS possible to find a throttle-lock in china!
Hey, Moilami, how well did this play in Finland? I'm curious whether things that are hosted here inside China are a slow to render outside the Great Firewall as things from outside render here. I'd also like to share this with folks outside China, but don't want them to get stuck with endless waits!
thanks!
It worked and streamed just fine, I was amused. I use fully free GNU/Linux system (www.gnu.org) at home, which means I don't use Adobe Flash. Further, it means I can have issues seeing streamed videos. But Chinese have done very good job with that site, though I was not able to watch many videos because "The clip has been blocked in your region".Quote:

Great! Viral advertising catches on in China! Now I can scratch my arse with my right hand while I txt with the other ... just what I always wanted on a m'bike. Insane, especially on a wet road and with flappy trouser bottoms next to the chain ... I hope part of that ad was a "kids do not try this at home disclaimer!"
That chick's laugh sounded terrified but if I was the rider and had both hands free with her - I wouldn't be waving them at the camera!
It streamed OK in Aus.
The long clip that humanbeing posted did indeed include numerous warnings saying, "Do not try this yourself." Hence it's all the more outrageous that the boneheaded reporter actually got on and rode sidesaddle pillion while he rode sidesaddle and no hands up front. With his helmet on backwards and unstrapped. And she with no helmet at all, or any other safety equipment. Of course, this being China, if they'd wiped out no one would have ever heard about it beyond their families. Speaking of families, this stunt driver goes on and on about how all he wants in life is to see his son, who was barely a toddler when he and his wife split up seven years prior to this interview. Well, gee, think about it: You think there maybe was a reason she left you? Sheesh.
Danny Pedrosa fell off his bike in the British round of the GP a couple of days ago and it was 'fun' to watch his 'bike continue upright and alone for a hundred or so meters (across the gravel runoff too) then hit the tyre wall hard enough to flip upside down - with no throttle obviously other than idle setting ... just imagine what that stunt rider's bike would do heading into traffic at a crowded intersection if he was bumped off, which is likely to happen one day soon! No wonder they are banning 'bikes. Amusing indeed to watch but bloody stupid!
Ok, that works too. I was hoping it might be something a little less 'permanent'. Stopping for traffic light would be fun with that system! Pulll in the clutch and watch as your engine explodes.Quote:

It reminded me of some of the more political posts here in recent days and made me think and reflect about a group of motorcycle taxis parked on the footpath right outside the doors of a local hospital clinic... I observed last night on my drive into the city... sooner or later these issues awaken the authorities into some form of action > enforcement which in the extreme leads to the banning of ALL motorcycles in the affected areas... we all should ride and behave in a manner that reflects more positively on motorcycles and the motorcyclists so that we improve the overall image - not degrade it.
