Hope he doesn't plann on dumping it. Those tattos won't look very good through scar tissue...

Maybe those tattoos are actually existing scar tissue.

I don't get why anyone would want to stunt that bike, there are cheaper options that have crash cages made specifically for them.

Yikes.... I would cry if I dropped my 848.  I got in from a long ride on Sunday... where the last 80 miles was solid nasty ass rain... and I towel dried the lady down once I pulled her into the garage... and my wife comes out.... "Why don't I get that kinda treatment?" 

I could only imagine what I would do if there was broken bits... and not just mud.

Did you remind her the bike doesn't ask questions.  Oh and never says no to a ride. [evil]

I would guess he didn't, because the bike also never has to sleep on the couch.

Seriously, tho. Why?  Just makes me want to slap a squid.

I thought about it... but she already views my 848 as my mistress.  ;D

I didn't even notice that. Could be. Can't tell much about the scenery. A squid is a squid though, right? So what's the diff.? [roll]

I'd be more worried about the oil starvation issues that plague Ducatis that are wheelied (even the current models, I know of one nitwit who blew up his Hypermotard pulling long-distance wheelies).

Yea but thats mile long, high rpm wheelies, this is low rpm short wheelies. i doubt someone could acually keep the bike going for 10 mins without being bored.


as for why hes doing it. maybe hes rich enough. i dunno, i want a 848. someone buy me a red one.

Hellz Yea dude, that is cool as hell. 

People forget that these are motorcycles... nothing all that special.  Its not like they are stunting on Mike Hailwoods bike, or tossing around fabrege eggs  [roll]   

If I could stunt like that on my monster I would.  Learning on it is a different story... but that shit is still cool.

A Puma ad?  Cool!!!!

At first I thought the pics were taken behind a dealership, where the mechanics 'test ride' the 848 after the 600mi service...   ;)  ;D



[Oh, and we definitely need better pics of the girl]

Don't worry, I can't pull a wheelie worth crap.  Not sure I wanna use my M750 as a practice mule either ~
