See what happens when you befriend the gremlins in your motorcycle? They keep it upright for you should you fall off.
You can’t see the training wheels in this video. LOL
#1 Good little Gremlins.
Somebody should have got him a Bell for his bike.
I had no idea Segway was working on motorcycle. It never falls over!
Now I have seen everything!
Now this is so much better than that O’Reilly re-mix. This is what I was talking about. I’d give you two thumbs up but one is in a cast.
yeah….. sure……….. right……….
i call shenanagins……..
bike is mounted on trailer……
rather nice they have the camera mounted facing the rider…
I would have driven right off the track to the nearest convenience store and loaded up on lottery tickets.
Fake!
Fake. Just like Hillary Clinton.
Great video
nunyac
PS did you happen to notice the Break video with the girl and the hydralic shovel?
[Yeah, it was on DU a couple of days ago. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=17943 – ed.]
he he he…. 😀
1 in a million
I think this very much is real.I have a YZF R1 and when the motorbike has momentum it is very stable as long as it can go forward it keeps going rider or no rider till it throttles down.The rider is there to control the turns and speed,if you notice the bike snaps back to going forward as soon as the rider falls offs.Also why show the forward view you would not be able to see what happened.And pulling it with a trailer would not work either, look how fast he accelerates when he gets back on the bike no truck pulling a trailer could come close to that.
Anyways cool video! and I said the same thing HOLY CRAP!
Fake. It’s obvious the guy lets go and jumps off.
I heard it will come to the owner when he whistles for it!
Its fake and for a commercial. You can tell because the other riders would have never switch lanes. they would have stayed on the outside or inside and just passed. its still cool, but give it what it is.

I don’t know if it was staged or not but he really did bail, the bike did keep moving and he did jump back on.
Not unusual for a rider to lose it and for the bike to maintain balance and keep going for quite a ways.
The rider catching up with the bike, remounting, then continuing to race… Well that is AMAZING.
What caused him to come off the bike is questionable though, it does look like he bailed intentionally.
bindairdundat. #14 is the only one who knows what he’s talking about.
