I don’t remember Porsche advising Rodas to disregard traffic laws while riding on tires that I wouldn’t trust on a Prius. It was a tragic accident caused by idiotic driving. Nothing more, nothing less.

But he wasn’t even driving

It’s not about fault, it’s about publicity and money.

Sounds like someone misses his meal ticket.

Sounds like whomever invented this suit never took any actual drugs. Ford likely made sure to find the most sober engineer to create the thing.

Coincidence? I think not!

Well, they can still do this to them to get your attention:

Tryton MM2. Electric motorcyle, 132 mile range after a 2.5 hour charge from a conventional 110v outlet. 0-100mph in 4.4 seconds, top speed of 160mph, and just look at it:

Those look like safety glasses.

Solid review. I have watched Casino Royale probably 10 times. It is great each time.

Yup, my favorite of the bunch so far, even compared to the highly acclaimed last one, which I thought was too theatrical for a Bond movie.

If by “awesome” you mean walnut-brained right wing redneck that I would like to curb stomp...then, yeah.

Please confirm that this idiot got arrested.

Stunters have skills well beyond anything I can do, but they seldom leave me in awe the way that trials riders regularly do.

Yeah, but it also did 233 without even breaking a sweat. If the goal is to eventually hit 400, they’re well on their way.

Still gets my vote. Just leaving the parking lot is a high risk move because these things are so powerful, so light, and so damn twitchy.

Doesn’t help for next year, and I can’t see why Ford would be any happier to supply Red Bull and have them whinge about it than anyone else.

I doubt you would get Attempted Murder: Probably Vehicular assault or Aggravate Assault. The motorcyclist would likely get a ticket for an illegal pass, but that doesn't give a driver license for intentionally hitting someone with a vehicle.
