People are stupid, some of us 'Think before we do something', but most just see someone do/buy something cause that other guy did, and they just HAVE TO do it too.
How else do any of you explain 'Justin Beaber', 'Planking' or 'FaceBook' popularity?? :lol:
People will allways try'n out do the previous Gen, look at 'Schoolies'. In my day we'd run a muck round school, flour bombs, water fights etc. innocent stuff, then it was off school, now its interstate and even inter-national, and you 'Have to get Drunk,Stoned+KingHit by someone', otherwise you are just not the shit!!
In my opinion ANYBODY that puts a vid on YT doing a wheelie on a modern bike IS A PUSSY and A SOFT COCK, get out on a 30-40yr old bike and do one, maybe a Scooter/Postie bike(ct110)?, A bit fukn harder huh?
SO easy to do shit and to easy to get into shit with a modern bike. DONT start me on LAMBS(size to age restrictions) 600cc for a newby, no-wonder the police have great stats on motorcycle 'Hoons' in this country (mostly 18-26y/olds).
The avg 600cc will do 180kph+, and have plenty of torque for Wheelies/etc., and they give it to 'KIDS' to 'Learn' on?? WTF!!.
Yes i have contributed to that stastistic but on a 250cc!! (biggest bike u could ride in 1986 (1979 KwakaZ250A), the most speed i could get was 120kph(
SCREAMING), wheelies were
NEVER an option lol. NO YT in my day, BUT we still did our Hoonish shite. You never heard of it tho, cause it was only bad 'IF' MrPoliceman just happened to be driving bye. But we learned howto Crawl before we could
RUN on Bikes.
And with all these people doing all this stuff, NOW the electronics era, Cameras+YT=INSTANT wanna-bee rockstars!! Until the fame+attention catches up and like GhostRider etc. they pay their dues afterwards.
So go film it, but just watch whos watchin YOU!! and dont have a Cry to Mommy/blame it on something/someone else, when you crash/get caught, BE A MAN!!
Their will ALLWAYS be a 'Next person' to do more, go higher, be MORE dangerous than the guy before, BUT just remember,
YOU are the CopyCat? If its genuinely original GREAT,
i LOVE originality,
learn that Craft, I just Fukn HATE people who just do the same old shite that someone else did b4, JUST to get the 'Spotlight' on em.
"Oh Look someone else doin a Wheelie on YT" (YAWN!!)
My favourite vids are on your last trip/road you went on, stuff u bought, Opinion you have on..., Blue tongue lizard you found (ScooterHoonLoL) Etc.
Be ORIGINAL, not just another YT wanna-Bee with 2Gazillion subs overnight, that'll NEVER pay the hospital bills for your CopyCat antics.
If you are the kinda person that 'Asks' your subs for money, maybe you should just buy a wagon and go sell your 'Snake-Oil' elsewhere?? Or just become a Politician? cause their just as Open handed as a begger. (a Begger is content with what he/she has)
Whoever commented earlier that 'Police will crack-down on us 'motorcyclists' for the YT stuff,
DONT PANIC, they can take my taxes, but
theyll NEVER TAKE MY FREEDOM!! (movie Braveheart) Itll never happen, too many 'normal riders' out their for it to be stopped.
But i think Police will STILL Find+Fine some 'Examples' out their, to 'Curb' the ideas of the majority of society.
So evry Generation, every age, has its Hoons+Hooligans it Rioters and Fascists, its Entertainers of mankind, all those copy-cats that are just doing stuff thats been done b4, BUT in their own special way/style/flair. Going for their '15min of Fame'. EVERYBODY wants to be 'remembered like James Dean'. And Social Media today is making it EVERYbodies business, cause its in everybodies Face.
Its NEVER an excuse for an individual, for NOT thinking about His/Her actions.
You do have a brain yes?? Then you CAN think it through till its end/conclusion!! You still wanna do it?? You wanna film it?Put it on YT? Now isnt that just YOU craving your 15min??
Me, Yes.
So...Be mind-full of the impressional 'Child-like' audience you have, atleast have WARNINGS etc., if the 'Dumb-Ass' attention seekers wanna still do a 'wheelie & crash', go right ahead.
More Road for me to play on, wenu Fukitup & Givitup!! Just dont involve me in it.
Id
LOVE TO find the fukrs who thought it was fun to pass me on my Inside, ona series of tight left+right corners, at high speed, i saw the cameras (IDK who, havnt seen footage on YT yet) but if it was dedicated YT footage?
Watch what happens when i do catch-up and pull you over,
Next Time, to
'Talk to you' :twisted: FUKN RESPECT for fellow riders OK!!!!
(Dont panic, no-one from here
)
I think i might be getn a bit 'Grumpy' in my old-age?
Thats my 'Mouthfull', I might go and yell at some kids on the street. Bye.
:roll:
After watching him and the Baron and spreading my subscriptions to people further a field, I came across scenes such as the 'Ride of the Century' videos, which, almost exclusively, were of people pulling wheelies and stunts, evading police and generally doing stuff that would earn them, if they were here in the UK, a more than lengthy stay at her majesty's pleasure, however, having watched those videos as an impressionable quote un-quote 'child', would I go out on the road and 'dick about' like some motovloggers do, pulling wheelies in towns, breaking laws and wreaking general havoc across the world? No, not only because the thought of putting myself at risk like that scares the absolute SHIT out of me, I'm not saying I would never speed, as I know I will, it's avoidable, but I find it excusable, given the right time and place, (ie. a country road with little traffic) but doing things like riding through city centres at 3 and a half times the speed of sound, or absolutely leathering it at the very limit of my abilities around a corner with a school crossing on it, is something I find utterly moronic, there's a word that most of us have for people who do things like that, and that word is 'thick'. The common consensus is that you must be completely and utterly stupid, to act like some do on the road, let alone record it and put such shameful acts up on YouTube, for all to see, however some do anyway and I am well aware that they have an affect on the more impressionable of my generation. As I said before, speed itself scares the absolute shit out of me, as, even at this point in my life I have WAY too much to lose in killing myself on the road, if I were to commit a criminal offence on the road my career prospects would be shattered and life, frankly, wouldn't be worth living, as I'd never be able to reach my potential and would be confined to the gutter for the rest of what would be a decidedly miserable and pathetic life, that would be in the case that I would still have my life It simply isn't worth it. Sure enough, I'm prone to an absolute love of speed itself, I race whenever I can, but only ever on a track, and I do, often, show off my quote un-quote 'skill' behind the wheel to my friends, but this has only ever been whilst in a go-kart on a track, or in a video game, two worlds that I find very separate from the road. I want to be a doctor if I get the chance, an occupation that requires absolute professionality, at home, and in the workplace, it is also a well paid profession, not something that I would like to give away as a result of riding like a complete philistine on the road because it's 'cool'. 
) This is something that I do not understand at all. My other friend, although he has valid insurance and wears the appropriate kit, rides like an absolute arse, pulling stoppies in front of other vehicles and riding on footpaths! You'd not be particularly surprised to know that neither of them watch morons and their antics on YouTube and neither motovlog, so I say, although lawless motovloggers can influence, they cannot change riders on their own. One motovlogger I watch in particular, JorianS4E, crashes his bike all of the time, he's young, he drifts his bike and stunts it in every one of his videos, but you know what the difference is between him and the select few people who ride like absolute morons? He does it on an enclosed airfield, with friends and safety on standby, that way, if he does drop it, he can always get back up, those on the road, may not be so lucky and neither may the people that they crash into.
