I'd ride it.

Eh. Hating him just makes him stronger.

That guy knows what he's doing and then he'll take our hate and assume it is jealousy which feeds his ego and confirms that he's "doing it right". If we don't pay any attention to him, then he'll have just wasted his money and received no attention.

Remember, to people who are in it for attention, ANY attention is good attention. Ask your neighborhood attention [reputable female].

Or...get a BMX for like $500 new.

It'd be fun (for spectators) once that saddle starts rotating ... and there's two places for it twist so it could get reallllll entertaining

knows what hes doing? sorry but carrying a bicycle while riding a motorcycle is stupid period. front brake/throttle right clip on, clutch left clipon. Sorry i dont think its fare to say he knows what hes doing because that is dangerous and stupid unless you meant he knows hes being a complete and utter ****tard. Even if he had the throttle switched over to the left clip on that would mean feathering a throttle and using a clutch at the same time with one hand and it would only give you access to your rear brake with your foot. Dumb is dumb is dumb.

plus, shorts, sleeveless shirt, no gloves no helmet and **** shoes. There is no protection there at all. say hello to road rash even at low speeds. When i road i was less worried about head impacts and more worried about sliding all my skin off. I high sided back in 06 and slide pretty far, broke my ankle, almost lost a finger but i was wearing a jacket and a helmet with gloves. Only reason i didnt lose an inch or two off my ass is i slide right on my right ass cheek, chewed threw half my wallet.


braking on a motorcycle is roughly 90/10 front/rear

SquidPuppet

Damn straight. During High School I lowsided my moped in a big radius sweeper at only 25mph wearing just my swim trunks. Slid forever. And the problem with NO protection is you can't drag your feet to slow yourself down. You can't drag your hands to save your back or chest. I lost a significant amount of left butt cheek, thigh and forearm meat and spent the rest of the summer laying on my stomach on the sofa so the wounds would heal. NEVER again I vowed.

Mumonkan

by this he means that hes doing it simply to attract attention, hes not implying hes the most skilled guy at carrying a pro level track bicycle while riding a stunt motorcycle

carleton

Thanks for clarifying! That's exactly what I meant.

The guy is an attention w**** and just does what he does so that people can talk about him on forums. I know the type. I've had associates like that and it's worse to watch it all in person.

You're playing into it too much, He looks like he is in a parking lot, probably didn't even get out of 1st gear. and I agree, he is a squid. I don't ride with out all my gear... ALL MY GEAR (jacket, pants, boots, gloves, helmet).

Mumonkan

what in all the ****s

Dannihilator

It seems like an even more dangerous pennyfarthing.

europa

You have to admire his imagination and commitment to ... something that could get him committed.

Super aero pennyfarthing for mountain time trials?

Leukybear 

Well there are the badass type who do mountain time trials on beefy unicycles.... anyhow the tires do not match the braking power on the bike above, maybe it's an endo-machine?

MattoftheRocks

I looked at that picture at least ten times before I realized that there's at least two of them there!

bmontgomery87

This.
A few things though:
He's on a stunt bike (note the lack of fairings, a crash cage, and the clipped rear). So that leads me to believe he could easily just be idling through a parking lot, most stunt bikes are modded to idle at a high rpm.
Chances also are that he's got pretty wicked bike control if he's stunting regularly. So it's not really a big deal to coast down the street in a pair of shorts while carrying a bike. I doubt the guy is doing 55 on the highway while carrying a bike on his shoulder.

Huffandstuff

Some random bike I found outside a bar. Hard to decipher but that's a tri saddle with some obscene amount of spacers and extensions.

AristoNYC

Look like its built for touring, maybe the person has a bad back. Don't really see it as a JA bike. I'll sit on what ever is most comfortable, doesn't matter what its made for.

AristoNYC

I'm calling this JA because they took a Cervelo P2 and made it a fixed gear.

Not to mention awful instagram filter.

bmontgomery87

or the awful stem/bar angle.....or the aerospokes.....

god that thing is hideous, I wouldn't hit it with a car

They have a website, though it is almost completely bereft of information.
