Monkey Bike Short Film

I just finished editing a video I've been working on. It features a
Honda Monkey Bike (ST70) and some discrete humour. Click below to play
the video:

Make sure you watch it right to the end because there is a scene which
resulted in me needing to buy a replacement windscreen. I kinda went
through the windscreen whilst filming that scene.

hope you enjoy it

that was a bit of a weird reply.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Mark Goodwin belched forth and ejected the
following:

Don't worry, I got it.

 

anyone see the write-up in the MCN about the nutters going form John
o'Groats to Lands End on a fleet of 'em.

 

I did. Brilliant, well done.

 

I thought it was rather clever to publish his address and a video of his
illegal riding. I wonder if the local plod would be interested.

 

Thanks Cane. Glad you liked it.

They never bothered all the minimoto idiots around here so I don't
think illegal motorbike riding is at the top of their list really.

 

I bought one of those for my son recently, well more of a midi-moto I
guess. Brilliant thing. Of course, it'll fall apart but as long as he
irritates the neighbours whilst it's running then it's served its
purpose.

Chinese manufactured... the wheel spacer for one side of the wheel was
about 20mm too long...

 

Having ridden small bikes once and attaining a 100% crash rate I'm not
quite sure what the point is, but I liked some of the camera angles.

It was better than most home videos floating about though.

 

Well, it was more than a little tongue in cheek given he's only riding
it in the field in front of my house which (as you're aware) probably
won't irritate anyone.

 

Be careful on your monkey bike:

By a horrible coincidence a group of us were chatting in the paddock at
Shelsley yesterday about mini-bikes. It started off as a typical between
runs chin-wag about noise (Noise level testing after first run) and
continued via tinnitus and noise induced hearing loss to illegal
off-road riding in built up areas, and finally kids on minibikes in
streets and parks. Although the slant was more about the nuisance aspect
than safety.

Cheap Chinese shit bike, with plastic fuel tank.

Not a Monkey Bike, as those ignorant fuckwits over on that forum seem to
think.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Eiron belched forth and ejected the following:

WGAF?

 

You old farts.

 

The posters to 'bikechatforums'don't seem too bright either.

You know, I scanned the thread in that 'forum' and have seen the future
of ukrm.

 

I'm off to set fire to something.

 

Moan. Moan. Moan. Moan. Whine. Whinge. Moan.

FFS turn the record over.
