Did I hear turbo whistles? I HEARD TURBO WHISTLES.

I agree. Although when i watched the slo-mo footage I could see Rossi´s knee moving outwards (as to push Marc off of him) but it seemed more as reaction than an action.

Now he can move to Colorado and get back to the grassroots sports legally! yay!

I believe if we watch the footage in slo-mo (again), it´ll be easy to spot if Marc´s front wheel locked up prior to his fall.

I love this one, with the turbine intakes coming from the nostrals and the contra-rotating propellers

Maybe its because the Grom isnt imported to Brazil, but i really dont get all the fuzz. Its a small, low-power motorcycle thats mildly attractive. Its small tires must be a PITA to ride on rough roads.

that “I was created to surpass you” kinda speech creeps the shit of out me. AND WHY THIS CHILD-LIKE VOICE????

Was a bit disappointed with the execution but the idea is fantastic. I was eager to share it with some friends but i dont think its worth it...

the Small Frontal Overlap really did pointed at a few flaws. Glad automakers are running after a solution, and succeeding at it.

You know, at first I tought Volv´s claim to eliminate deaths in all its cars by 2020 sounded a bit outlandish, but seeing these crash tests and the amount of tech they came upwith for this new XC90, they might just accomplish that.

It sounds great in portuguese as well! “Tapa na máfia” hahah

Shoulda done it with the Volvo inline-5 turbo powered tractor!

you made me LOL at work. Thank you sir!

Its a famous crash. One that ended Group B. Get over yourself, its not even gory and its over 30yrs old.

THANK YOU.

hmm indeed it is. Im not american, thus im not familiar with some domestic markets over there, but that makes sense. Times arent too good for a expensive niche product that is overcome by cheaper, “broader” products.

Being a brazilian, I have a theory: This wasn´t the roadblock itself, because they tend to be bigger (read, with more police vehicles). It looks like it was a motorcycle-specific checkpoint in which they were looking for a specific thing (maybe a stolen bike or something). Notice this “biker” wasnt even wearing a…

but why though?

It does look nice, but Im beyond skeptical when it comes to build quality and engine power. Do not trust the chinese.

shhh dont say it out loud. He might be listening
