The music they use really makes this funny, but the two guys aren't too happy :lol:

Very funny....did they actually intend to stop the bikes spinning and get back on and join the race, or was it to just stop any more damage..? either way very funny, they were not too keen on diving in huh.?

The original idiot that put that video up should have been made to be dragged by those two bikes, until they stopped by themselves. There is absolutely NOTHING funny about the crash, riders, nor the bikes, and what they are doing.

Being a road racer myself, I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, not even an un-liked competitor.

Crashes will always happen, if someone had been hurt, that would be a different story. As no one was, I found it entertaining. Then again, when I was laying there with a broken leg and shoulder blade, the medic asked me how I was feeling and I said "like having a beer"............ :lol:

No crashes are not funny, but when they end up like that one it's still good for a laugh. Right there is why they need kill switches on any thing motorized that can continue to be in motion under power after the rider has lost hold of controls with no chance of recovery, ok i'll say it fallen off. Worked great on my Seadoos.

Of course, there is nothing funny about a motorcycle crash or any other crash where a person can be injured, But.. The music makes it funny after we see no one was hurt. Now to drag an idiot or anybody else behind a motorcycle, that's a little harsh even if you see no humor in it.

That was a World Championship Moto2 race, and, those bikes RENT to independent teams for close to a million bucks per year, so, they ain't a 600 crud pile from the local dealer that was abandoned and then turned into a pseudo-racer.

IT JUST AIN'T FUNNY, AT ALL.
