*wheels

Adding video to channels (Wheels) - requested by ant.

Fake.
Very bad acting, CGI visible, bike is gone after "accident" and she actually says bicycle instead of bike or motorbike.

The literal mind cannot comprehend the ironic mind. And what a shame that is!

Oh its ironic alright, but its still fake and thus not funny.

Guess what, the chicken really didn't cross the road. Nor did 80% of all things that are funny actually happen.

Wow, it's even tagged 'parody' and still he calls fake.

Good sift, I was buying it till the twist. Personally, I'd remove the 'parody' tag so people aren't expecting it.

That's why I refuse to laugh at Pixar movies.

Besides, car accidents are only funny when they involve real injuries. ;-)

So, you're saying it's fake because she says bike?

Not, you know, the fact that during the entire video, he doesn't look right once, he couldn't hear the truck coming, and, this one strikes me as the biggest.. the fact that she says he's got a HUD inside his helmet?

I mean, even if that was possible, you'd think there'd be massive amounts of wires connected between him and the bike, or some form of powers supply.

also as mentioned, the *parody tag.

So, you can only laugh when someone gets terribly injured?

It's not appealing unless they are a-pealing him off the cement!

I am German, and it simply doesnt fit what she says and how she acts when he gets hit.
Also there is no German station named RTC nor a corporation with that name that does something like that.
But maybe you can tell me why she acts like a 10 year old on a stage, why she calls a motorbike a bicycle (which is a completely different word in German), where the bike went, why there is no debris on the road, why the little debris flying around at the impact vanishes magically and why the trucks doesnt have a scratch, even though it hit the bike with the front left side.

And yes, it would be funny, albeit still tragic, if it was real, since it would be extremely ironic that way.
I guess its hard for some people to understand that something can be 2 things at the same time...
Why should it be funny when its fake? Something like that has happened in fiction dozens of times.

RTC = Road Traffic Collision

Yeah, I think some folks should dial down the dosage on their OCD causing medication today and just enjoy a simple joke for what it is...

Ha, I liked that. Looked real until the twist.

As a Rider, to me this is a great vid because it illustrates that you can be as prepared as you want but the dangers still exist.

Drivers don't see motorcycles - It's a fact!
A cyclist can take all the precautions in the world but they are still sitting ducks out there.

When I ride - I hold by one simple rule.
All other vehicles are trying to hit you - don't give them that chance.
This means: NEVER ride in a blind spot
Always assume that car at the intersection is going to pull out in front of you.
Peripheral vision is reduced in a helmet, take the time to look properly.
Always Ride with traffic, cars are not pylons to weave through.
Hold your lane - ride on the inside (not the shoulder side) of the road.
Avoid tunnel vision, like in a car, always watch everything - you need ten times the alertness on a bike!

And yes, we all know it was fake - no one claimed it wasn't - Funny? maybe not, but it still makes a point.
As a non-German speaker, maybe this is one time where language barrier enhances the video, we don't get caught up on unimportant things like diction and just see the message!

Das Motorrad sind kaput! Aber, wo sind das Fahrrad?

I didn't even look at the tags so I wasn't even looking for anything. Bought it all right up till the crash, .5sec of shock then laughter. Honestly coolhund its like your trying way to hard.

As for the points about the hud and whatnot, it wouldn't really be that difficult to have a small projector in there that can relay information from some wireless transmitter in the bike. Can't say how practical it would be or anything, just saying its genuinely possible and without wires or any noticeable power supply.

I don't know, my German isn't the best, but the translation seems mostly accurate to me?

Yeah, but "Fahrrad" is bicycle, not motorcycle.

True, but she says "fahrer", "driver".

Hmm.. You could be right. Whatever. Could have been done better regardless.
