Same video without the other video bar and with a better bitrate



I feel sorry for the guy, he was so enthusiastic about it
Great speed though.

In a post on the Killacycle blog, Dube says that he is fine and only has a few scrapes and cuts. "I’m just a bit scraped up. Embarrassed of course. I had not intended the bike to move in the soapy water, just spin the tire. Got it slowed down to about 20 mph. Front wheel is bent, as are front forks. Cowling is not nearly as pretty as it was. No major damage. We will have it fixed in short order. Yes, I am an idiot. :-/"

I only think he did the burnout because the event organizers begged him to.

It is very seldom operators of high HP cars/bikes want pull stupid stunts in public - it is almost always the audience that pressures the rider driver into doing irresponsible shit.

holy crap that thing accellerates fast. Probably held full throttle because of the G's trying to hold on.
