Wheels.....I can relate to this video.  Can you? 

Boy can I relate to that.  Just last week we had some neanderthal that decided he would design his dock 8 inches lower than the rest of the modern world and at the same time save a few bucks by not installing load levellers on his dock.   To make matters worse he didnt even bother investing in a simple dock plate.  He had all sorts of neat ideas like letting all the air out of our airbags as well as all 8 tires on the trailer then backing the trailer up some sort of wooden ramps theoretically raising the tractor so the back of the trailer would lower???     I told him he had two choices,  come and pick the freight up from our dock or find a neighbour that didnt hate him and borrow one of their dock plates for an hour.   Took him 24 hours to find a friend that would assist in the stupidity.    I cannot fathom what reasoning goes through a persons brain to try something that goes against the grain of everything the rest of the world is doing and has the nerve to tell us as a carrier that we are not doing our job.

The video reminds me of the days when pup trailers were so popular in our industry.     I think they spent more time with their nose on the ground and the rear with wheels pointed up in the air to the sunlight and more than often a forklift operator trying to jump off the rear of the trailer.     I could tell a thousand stories after watching that video and yes many times we used two or three forklifts and somehow choreographed them into one unit with little or no fear of injury or maiming.

That was one of my first thoughts as well.
Not an Okanagan Bike ...

I saw a similar build with the same exhaust routing....but the tank was in the chin spoiler.

This was the video ad for the 99 Hayabusa, which turned out to be the fastest production bike of the 20th century.  To top it all off it is a pretty cool ad as well. It is weird to think that the fastest bike of the 21st century won't be crowned for another 85 years.  Chances are our grandchildren will see it, and god willing those with our DNA will RIDE it!  Will they look back and wonder at the old fashioned stuff we rode, will they look at us with a nostalgic eye and say "cool Grandpa"!?

Hilarious!  I learned to ride on a dirt bike, never rode a four stroke dirt bike but did ride a two stroke street bike.  There is not a two stroke bike in this video that could pass my four stroke street bike.  That said I do have a soft spot for two strokes and would love to have a two stroke street bike again someday.
