The Mythbusters took on the BMW 1000RR commercial with the table cloth. HFL gathered up youTube versions

Slight threadjack. Threadborrowwithoutasking.

After burning many hours watching Mythbusters, I've concluded that it is possible to watch an hour-long episode in about 12 minutes if you were to take out all expository stuff.  I mean the dozen or so times they say "about 11 minutes ago, we did this, now we are going to do the same thing, slightly differently after the break" ...Break... "we're back and before the break we talked about doing this, let's recap from the start..."

No comments on the Buell?  Nothing like "..technologically advanced in some areas but overall pretty awkward.  And the bike he rode was a Buell"  No?  Ok.

Damn, it was even on the same page, both of which should have been in GMF.  :D
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

They did give the bike an introduction and rolled off some stats about it at 13:24 of the first video.  I noticed they didn't exactly call it a Buell.  They called it a 1125R DSB made by Erik Buell Racing.  So I guess Erik Buell is doing some bike making again.  Or maybe he is at least modifying some of the old ones???

The bike did sound really nice at idle and while accelerating.

1125R is a respectable bike, and the way they did it left nothing to be desired
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

And nobody noticed it was a track bike.  Which means Jamie does track days.  Where is the Youtube video on that?
I live vicariously thru myself......
