A fun article with videos we may enjoy talking about.

Several movie clips that misrepresent motorcycles and riding, and physics!

There is a sweet Ducati 996 in the Matrix clip :-)

Cool vids! But yes, stretching reality a lot :).
It was kinda cool how the Ducati magically sprouted knobbies when they hit the dirt (Tom Cruise movie). And yet the poor other fellow was stuck with his street tires ;)

I like the comment the author made when he noticed the 180 MPH Ducati had a hard time outrunning the beat up Cadillac.

I have never seen a Matrix movie. Very much does not appear to be my cup of tea.

Lol, the one with the two guys running dirt bikes through the field was funny too, they sounded like crotch rockets or something. Definitely not dirt bikes! Still fun though, makes the movie seem more dramatic :)

I wouldn't want to be hit from behind by a tractor while riding my motorcycle! :wtf: Also, my CRF250X must not have as good a suspension as that BMW street bike ridden by James Bond! :hehe:

Apparently, when you collide with a junk, parked car, your street tires change automatically to knobby tires. ;)
