The guy is awesome. The way the car is nudging in his lane, right behind his back wheel then passes him two thirds into his lane, I’m guessing common in India. He doesn’t even look over at the other car, just calm, making a phone call. Drifting across the freeway.
yeah ppls, who goes on vacation to south africa? (or india for that matter, but the plates where for india). and the guys in the car where talking in some north american accent, and that was NOT in canada, the mounties would have been all over him and the truck w/ all those people in the back.
I would tend to agree with you. For some reason, Canadians as a whole, seem to have a very distinct Indian accent – one that is almost indistinguishable from native Indians themselves. It must be the similar cultures and climates.
yes, but people in canada dont call them native americans, it would just sound weird. i mean, do you consider yourself an american or a north american? its for the same reason. people from africa dont call themselves africans, they specify the country.
But the cars look like a foreign country, anytime I’ve been to Canada I’ve seen all the same cars that we drive here. (I live less than an hour away from the Canadian border)
hey ppls, back off each other for a second! first of all, hockey started in canada, celine dion sucks, and i personally think any side of a waterfall is as pretty as the next.
america:0
canada:1
your move.
(p.s. i’m american fyi )
Umm, poof….those license plates are not Canadian. And it’s totally against the law to do something like that on a motorbike, but in India? As everybody thinks. Oh my gosh, you should see the things they do on a moving vehicle. It is NUTS!
It has to be India. The accent and license plates are all wrong… besides, in Canada no one would DARE drive like that! Did you see how they were passing?
woah yeah that is not any sort of “Canadian” accent. You seem to confuse parody tv with reality. let me break it to you, Doug and Bob are not real.
we also have license plates that are the same style as US ones.
Bikes have had a sort of cruise control for many years.
Its a throttle lock that holds it in position but still allow the throttle to be turned easily if needed in a hurry. All my bikes have had them since they 80’s.
Then how did he ever accelerate to pass the tractor at the end, without moving his hands to turn the trottle? It must be some system he designed for his own use. Man, if only I could ride a bike like that… What a WIN
I saw it listed as Kawasaki Bajaj Pulsar. I imagine Kawasaki built it for someone else. Seems to be commonplace for a manufacturer to build something for an Indian company to rebadge.
Dude no kidding. How can so many people on a site like failblog take that comment so seriously. I would have taken it a step further and made a Canada lets it twat immigrate joke, but why bother?
Several distinguishing characteristics seperating this from Canada.
1. As pointed out, big time accent FAIL!!
2. Note the way everyone is driving, cutting people off, nearly side swipping all the vehicles as they change lanes. No one drives like that in Canada… you’d instantly have your liscence taken away.
3. Vehicles are defiantely all foreign.
I would have initially guessed Thailand or Malaysia as the roads look too good to be India. They drive on the left so that helps narrow it down and the first letters of the van’s number plate are DL which is a New Delhi plate, so I think you’re right that it’s India.
I’m pretty sure they’re speaking with a Geordie accent, from a region in England. It’s hard to explain it. Also they’re listening to Adele’s “Chasing Pavements” and I’m not sure that was released in India (?)
1. WTF?!?
2. Is the safety fail on the van that is cutting eveyone off when they merge without signalling or the idiot texting while riding his bike with his feet?
Exactly! I can’t see how the motorcyclist is worse than the several other crappy drivers straddling two lanes or dodging into lanes without warning and adequate space. A tremendous, all-around traffic safety fail. I’d like to know where this was shot so I never, ever find myself on that highway. Damn.
Which explains the steering. A lot of things you can do on a bike that you can’t do in a car – try countersteering a car and you’ll just look a twat. My question is this: how is he keeping the throttle open?
Gyroscopes (yes, those wheels on the bike spinning at high speeds are gyroscopes) tend to maintain their orientation. It would take a moderate amount of imbalance to tip the bike or send it off course.
It’s definitely India, where the driving style is VERY different!
I’m surprised that guy doesn’t have someone else holding on to the back of the bike as well, to be honest. Surely if anything it’s a ‘not enough passengers if you can still see the road’ fail.
Truth. But I was referring to the fact that Jersey drivers are ‘tards. Connecticut drivers are worse than Mass-holes, but at least they know that they’re driving like that.
If it were JUST a matter of nobody using turn signals I’d say “Memphis TN” because when I was visiting there the only person with a Tennessee plate who used a turn signal (that I saw) got pulled over by a cop. Who did not use turn signals.
This is definitely in India. The car that was switching lanes in the beginning was a Tata, and this was relatively safe compared to other shit that happens on the roads there. But I have to say, he has epic skills.
I was expecting the worst, what with how that one van/SUV/whateverthehellitwas was driving ridiculously close to the motorcyclist and the guys videotaping, but honestly, I don’t know if this is made of fail or win…
LOL
It’s in Delhi….where else ?
(I recognize the license plates and car models)
And for those of you freaking out about the cars being too close, thats light traffic for an average Delhi day – you should see how people drive during rush hour
It was the light traffic that alomost threw me.. I .couldn’t imagine this being India with so little traffic. Way too calm.
I’m a great driver–live and drive in US and have driven in Europe and UK also, but I’m not good enough to drive in India-You have to have that kind of talent to even drive a CAR there… I’d never presume to have that much skill.
Am I the only one who was disappointed when he didn’t crash? I was waiting anxiously for the crazy part of the video where the van merges into him, but it never came…
It isn’t so bad until they come over to the UK and drive like that too. Which they do as I know to my cost (and at the cost of my friend’s cute Beetle car.)
Soo f’ing hillarious!
But he’s right. I’ve never driven a car without “Weißwurst und Bier”!
We are the country that invented the Weißwurst-holder!
Other than that: Try to watch 1min of Autobahn without seeing 2 BMW and 3 Mercedes.
In eurasian countries, people drive like this all the time, and yet there are fewer accidents and less road rage than in america. I have seen videos of intersections in Bangladesh and Seoul that would terrify any normal american.
US: 300 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 6600 ppl. 89% own cars.
India: 1.1 billion people. 1 traffic death per 5800 ppl. .8% own cars. (That’s less than one.)
Korea: 47 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 4400 ppl. 90% own cars….according to the official word of the korean government*ahem*.
There are more cars than people in the US.
Only 63% of asia-pacific claims to own a vehicle.
The US owns 1/4 of the worlds cars.
We are responsible for 7% of the worlds auto deaths.
Statistics un-postable….urls not allowed, but the WHO has lots of info on this stuff.
Your claim of “fewer accidents than America” is hardly credible even if you do try to show us some numbers that supposedly support your claim. For one thing the average car in India (and certainly the ones in this video) probably do not have safety devices like those found in America. That coupled with what appears to be very few traffic laws, makes me think there should in fact be a very high percentage of fatal crashes per vehicle. So you can see why your numbers were at first confusing, until you actually look at them and see a key statistic: .8% of Indians own cars! That coupled with the fact that 89% of Americans own cars means that:
89% of 300 million = 267 million American car owners
0.8% of 1.1 billion = 88 million Indian car owners
So as we can see America has 3 TIMES as many car owners than India and yet has ONLY 13% more deaths.
Should I be ashamed that I kept waiting for the guy to crash? Because it totally looks like a set up for something on “The Smoking Gun presents the World’s Dumbest….” I’d love to see those guys comment something this asinine.
ps. Corby, your statement is a huge generalization and largely untrue. Countries like India, China, even Italy have far more road deaths per capita than the United States, whereas places in northern Europe such as Britain, Scandanavia, and Germany have far fewer, but that’s because driving of the type seen in that video is not allowed and traffic laws are strictly enforced.
It’s called natural selection folks. He’ll eventually get taken out, but he has probably already reproduced and they cycle will continue… (Didn’t intend for that to be such a bad pun.)
Yep, that’s India for sure, not sure which part though. That’s the way ppl drive there, the text when they’re on their motorbike (since most service providers provide free texting), but they usually don’t lean back and chill like the way this pro was doing it >_< I was in India for 2 months this summer and i’m sad that i never got to see something like that, lol
And once again, I feel relieved that someone wrote this joke before me.
I feel really bad when I think of a joke and am not able to share it … but at the same time, I hate to post such stupid posts centered on overused memes.
By the license plates, this was filmed in or near Delhi. Yes, they really do drive like that in India, and a lot worse, but you see very few accidents, actually. No, I’ve never seen anyone ride a motorcycle that way there…
And the reason that guy is alive in India is that the way driving works there, is that even though vehicles are at high speed with no following distance, vehicles generally remain in formation except for vehicles wanting to make a move. That vehicle then does whatever they want, and they don’t die (usually) because all other vehicles are either maintaining tight formation or obviously making a move.
As long as the motorcycle rider maintains a steady course and speed, the other vehicles should be able to know his position and maneuver around him without a collision. But because there are no margins around vehicles, one bump, or one unanticipated move around him, and…SPLAT!!!
india? why india? it can be in thailand, taiwan, afghanistan etc etc. but still SHIT
this is DEFFINETLY a win <– spelling fail. nice skills \o/ WIN WIN WIN
WOAH! you so win at the internet. let me present to you the Golden Tubes Award and alert Mensa. We will also be sending the secret stash of attractive people for use of sexual advancement of Those Who Saw it First and Those Who Post First in Threads.
see all those words written before you did? you run your eyes over them and they make connections with the brain that then inform you that you fail at reading.
Arrrrgh! what is it with you people? seriously, you must have to scroll down the page to reach the comments box, try reading as you go, you will find much wisdom (and answers to why you just failed) along the way
I see this kind of irresponsible crap all the time here in Norfolk, VA on the interstate near the naval base. These crotchrocket riding studs race one another sometimes laying down sometimes standing.. yep… standing on their bikes. Everyone just gets the hell out of their way so they don’t get some dumbass’ brains splattered cross their windshield. Hope they jail this guy.
I saw the same thing a few years ago in Milwaukee. Except that that time it was a guy on a Harley and he was working on a six pack that was in the left saddlebag. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to ride like that.
Even If he was riding in a very unconventional position, the cars were all running way too close to each other. Do you really want him on your hood WHEN he drops the bike from being crazy?
I’m surprised nobody seems to realise it’s not an accent from the country it was filmed in.
It’s a Geordie accent, i.e. from Newcastle in the North of England.
I’d know that accent anywhere – they are in Indian, and they are likely Indians themselves. They just sound European/Canadian because of the Indian accent and inflection of words on an English-based language.
Obviously you’ve never realized the futility of making such a blanket statement. Not only are you failing massively at properly specifying the object that is ‘gay’ (ie. the ‘posts’, rather than ‘posters’), but you will of course be flamed and ridiculed by a large majority of the people that troll this site (as I am doing at this present moment). Of course, your name ‘just4internatefame’ does already hint as to your intelligence level, so we shouldn’t expect too much: notice the mild usage of ‘leetspeek’ in addition to what his name tells us about his goals in life.
Obviously, you’ve never realized that answering this kind of post by composing a meaningless semi-wall-ish eye-scramble seasoned by a sense of composition barely suitable for a 4th grader is just a blatant proof of you failure both not to feed a troll and to candidate for the burn of the week you are obviously aiming at ?
big words don’t make you sound smart, only dumb, as the point of communication is to be understood, and many people won’t understand (I point to “just4internetfame” mostly) so small simple words are much more suited for the internet, in business it’s a bit different however.
Perhaps he is on cruise.
Also, the car that was tapping him could have been forced to slow down due to other cars on the road.
Use your brain. It’s what it’s there for…
I differentiate them by dot or feather. Anyway, it does appear to be India, but here in Dubai the Arabs are all brain dead and drive the same way, if not worse.
There’s a lot of crazy shit like this going on in pakistan, india, middle eastern countries and presumably south/central american countries and while it’s a bit redundant to say that the white nerd community are certainly a timid bunch, i did not anticipate THIS much QQ about safety… FFS it gets annoying
LMFAO, this has got to be the best video on here!!!
Fail? Hardly, the guy is a legend.
On the subject of the location of this ‘fail’ video. I have a very good feeling it’s in Dubai. The reasons are as follows:
1 – In Dubai, people quiet often speak English with an Indian accent, this is because of the vast amount of Indian trades/businessmen that work there.
2 – ONLY and ONLY in Dubai, would you see crazy arabs like this. Anyone seen ‘Crazy arabs road skating’?
3 – The road is as smooth as glass! I highly doubt that in India the roads are that good, but I have never been to India so I might be wrong, however I have been to Dubai, and the roads are so straight that a guy could chill on his bike, talking on the phone, whilst driving with his feet.
Oh. My. Gawd.
did one of the guys say “lolwut” at the very end?
No, but i will…
“lolwut”
no this is not a safety fail… this is a biking WIN
yeah rly.
no fail there
this is what happens when chuck noris goes to india.
LMFAO
chuck noris win
I think that the fail is 41 seconds into the video, you can clearly see a tractor pulling a trailer full of people down the highway.
“no what?!”
lol wut
he’s really talented
thank you come again
That’s not a fail, it is awesome though
That’s an awesome.
Yeah, there was no fail, only awesome.
Safety fail, meaning it failed at being safe. Though it was pretty kewl
I didn’t see anyone get hurt, , , safety WIN! You just have a massive case of jealousy, and for that, you fail.
Jealously = fail?
idiot doing something stupid = WIN?
um.. yeah.. go back to 6th grade.
The guy is awesome. The way the car is nudging in his lane, right behind his back wheel then passes him two thirds into his lane, I’m guessing common in India. He doesn’t even look over at the other car, just calm, making a phone call. Drifting across the freeway.
The Fonz has nothing on this S.O.B.
Get Apu a leather jacket!
You’d have won me over had the guy somehow made a random jukebox work with one punch.
the only fail here is the music playing in the guys car
that looks more like a success to me.
if he’d fallen and gotten badly bloodied, that’d have been a failure.
i thinks so too.
i know right So technellay (i know i fail for spelling) the guys in the car fail more
that was cool
There is no F ing way that guy needs a MRI to find the cancer in his brain!!!!!
Fail@no one knows how to use blinkers and everyone cuts everyone else off… lol
Where is that?
India, I reckon
Nah, more like Canada, cuz of their accents
Accent recognition fail.
O M G..U ppl are all a bunch of mega-douche-bags
this was in South Africa..
In my neighborhood, everyone is South African…
they all speak like that.
wtf, Canadian
You do know that the license plate reads for a place in INDIA right?
Um this isnt south africa coz teh numba plates are different
you realize they could be on a vacation or something and have shipped their car there
yeah ppls, who goes on vacation to south africa? (or india for that matter, but the plates where for india). and the guys in the car where talking in some north american accent, and that was NOT in canada, the mounties would have been all over him and the truck w/ all those people in the back.
i believe we have our fail ^….
I would tend to agree with you. For some reason, Canadians as a whole, seem to have a very distinct Indian accent – one that is almost indistinguishable from native Indians themselves. It must be the similar cultures and climates.
You fail
No, you fail. I think he meant Indian as in computer indian, not casino indian…
Sarcasm recognition fail.
lol Win
You just made Mountain Dew spew out of my nose! You, sir, are teh win!
lmfao
your comments are funnier than the pics! you all win!!
You mean Indians versus Native Americans?
Vocabulary FAIL. Racism FAIL.
you FAIL for being politically correct
“Native American” – in CANADA?
Racism fail indeed.
In Canada, they’re called “First Nations.” Because, well, America is somewhere else.
I hate to break this to you, but Canada is located on the North ‘American’ continent.
yes, but people in canada dont call them native americans, it would just sound weird. i mean, do you consider yourself an american or a north american? its for the same reason. people from africa dont call themselves africans, they specify the country.
You mean dot-head Indian, not feather-head Indian? You mean the ones that don’t eat cow, not the ones that hunt buffalo? Right? Hodgies?
hahahahaha that’s hilarious! “computer indian, not casino indian…”
lool
LMFAO, computer indian…
Although, I was thinking more alonmg the lines of “outsource” Indian…
Look at the licence plates dumA** … it is India …. Delhi to be specific !
But the cars look like a foreign country, anytime I’ve been to Canada I’ve seen all the same cars that we drive here. (I live less than an hour away from the Canadian border)
Intelligence FAIL!
so ur an AMERICAN
NATIONALITY FAIL!!!!!!
I do believe that’s a burn
No, more like a mild warmth. Similar to the kind you might feel if you peed your pants, perhaps.
BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
Dragon, could you please come and torch these d-bags?
*sets *FOOM!*age to “extra crispy”*
Our hero.
heroes wont nest on the level below this level – Failblog FAIL
( I think Sara meant our semi-synthetic opioid synthesized from a morphine derivative of the opium poppy. )
“(Comments wont nest below this level)”
Comments fail.
*nests*
pwned
Stereotype FAIL!
And this coming from the “enlightened” among us?
I think the term ‘fatally enlightened’ would be more appropriate
OtherCanuck, you’re a moron. Canada should be proud of you; as they seem to have high regard for the mentally retarded and morally degenerate.
Lol Burn the Canucklehead. .
a burn from a man who’s countries greatest accomplishments are hockey, celine dion, and the best side of a waterfall
hey ppls, back off each other for a second! first of all, hockey started in canada, celine dion sucks, and i personally think any side of a waterfall is as pretty as the next.
america:0
canada:1
your move.
(p.s. i’m american fyi )
Umm, poof….those license plates are not Canadian. And it’s totally against the law to do something like that on a motorbike, but in India? As everybody thinks. Oh my gosh, you should see the things they do on a moving vehicle. It is NUTS!
It has to be India. The accent and license plates are all wrong… besides, in Canada no one would DARE drive like that! Did you see how they were passing?
oh its india all right !! the bike is indian ..and so are the cars passing by
So does that make it an Indian Motorcycle?
Wah wah wah
Like in “I’m a bird productions”?
… I pass like that. But I live like 5 hours from the border so what do I know. … 5 hours north of the border.
So the motorcycle was not a moving vehicle?
We don’t haves that look like that and I can’t understand a word they’re saying and I’m Canadian.
Damn.
sarcasm recognition fail.
Srsly you can’t understand them?
Woah, English fail.
That’s only because they weren’t talking about Hockey.
woah yeah that is not any sort of “Canadian” accent. You seem to confuse parody tv with reality. let me break it to you, Doug and Bob are not real.
we also have license plates that are the same style as US ones.
That is India.
I can see the licence plates. Its A city called delhi.
The bike is a Indian Kawasaki Pulsar 150 cc
Motorbike geekery WIN!
Do you know what you’re doin’, doin’ to me?
Not if you live or have spent any time in India. Those things are everywhere.
Damn nice bikes too.
More like fuel savings win for the rider. .
Question for the motogeeks then, how’s he keeping the throttle down? Do bikes have cruise-control now?
Bikes have had a sort of cruise control for many years.
Its a throttle lock that holds it in position but still allow the throttle to be turned easily if needed in a hurry. All my bikes have had them since they 80’s.
Then how did he ever accelerate to pass the tractor at the end, without moving his hands to turn the trottle? It must be some system he designed for his own use. Man, if only I could ride a bike like that… What a WIN
Bajaj Pulsar actually.
I saw it listed as Kawasaki Bajaj Pulsar. I imagine Kawasaki built it for someone else. Seems to be commonplace for a manufacturer to build something for an Indian company to rebadge.
um, that’s what canadians think, eh? but canadians have square wheels on their cars, and presumably their motorcycles so can’t be canada. maybe japan.
so indians, talking english in japan? hmmm sounds likely
if that’s sarcasm, they need to re-write the dictionary.
So “Strange Brew” wasn’t a documentary? Aw, man… I feel so lied to.
Dude no kidding. How can so many people on a site like failblog take that comment so seriously. I would have taken it a step further and made a Canada lets it twat immigrate joke, but why bother?
Doug and Bob aren’t real? Then who saved Elsinore???
It’s in Canada!? What’s he thinking? If you die in Canada, you die in real life!
xkcd quoting win.
Not true. I’ve died in Canada many times. Dude, get your facts straight!
IT’S DEFINITELY INDIAN, I’M FROM THERE…trust me.
nahh, the cars were right hand drive, so india.
Several distinguishing characteristics seperating this from Canada.
1. As pointed out, big time accent FAIL!!
2. Note the way everyone is driving, cutting people off, nearly side swipping all the vehicles as they change lanes. No one drives like that in Canada… you’d instantly have your liscence taken away.
3. Vehicles are defiantely all foreign.
I could keep going… but I think you get the point
defiantely? you mean definitely… *chuckles*
Canada: The New India
You reckon correctly, I reckon.
He can ride his bike with no handlebars.
lmao
And is more qualified to than our president
flobot?
I would have initially guessed Thailand or Malaysia as the roads look too good to be India. They drive on the left so that helps narrow it down and the first letters of the van’s number plate are DL which is a New Delhi plate, so I think you’re right that it’s India.
I’m pretty sure they’re speaking with a Geordie accent, from a region in England. It’s hard to explain it. Also they’re listening to Adele’s “Chasing Pavements” and I’m not sure that was released in India (?)
People from India wouldn’t be impressed/bother to film it. Brits on holiday marveling at the locals.
Drivers are on the right side, if you look on the other cars. Could be India.
thats not a fail.
its an epic win
I could not agree more
Totally an epic safety win. It would be a “safety fail” if the guy face planted and gored himself on his handlebars.
Which, being as irresponsible as he was, if that happened I would laugh and keep driving.
I know, I was totally waiting for it. This is just all around win.
anticipation fail?
Neither could I, more.
yes… yes it is.
Safety Fail my ass, thats a Skill Win.
DEX+1 ftw
+27 Street dmg mitigated by a -3 resilience rating. FTW.
I hope he’s stacking stamina for the day he screws that up.
Yay for DnD references!
i was wondering how many would get the riding skill reference, god some of us are to much of a geek… or do people still consider dnd players geeks?
There’s absolutely nothing with being a geek! ^_^
Sex Life FAIL. .
*chuckles*
nothing with being…=nothing wrong with being
grammar fail…
totally
Seconded. How many people can brag about doing that?
Yes, def a win.
Handsfree epic win
Or “no-handed” epic win, but then that’s a fail because he has hands…um…help!
Couple things
1. WTF?!?
2. Is the safety fail on the van that is cutting eveyone off when they merge without signalling or the idiot texting while riding his bike with his feet?
Yes.
Yah…I wondered that too.
MULTI-FAIL!
Well, he does wear a helmet…
… what means it can´t be in italy…
i bet it´s in russia
XD
Fail, its not russia.
Russia? Italy? WTF… that accent is SO from India.
Guiz,
It’s a Welsh accent. This thread fails.
Blimey.
N3MO
dude, the plates are from New Delhi! and since you seem stupid, thats in india!
your smarts=epic failure!
Knowledge of the world fail!
Yes, because that which is not Italy must be Russia.
Everyone knows that.
Admitting you know his sexual wardrobe FAIL…
absolute muli-fail never share a lane with a motorcycle. So unsafe, I’m suprised the van didn’t clip him and make this a snuff film.
This is India. That shit is normal.
Exactly! I can’t see how the motorcyclist is worse than the several other crappy drivers straddling two lanes or dodging into lanes without warning and adequate space. A tremendous, all-around traffic safety fail. I’d like to know where this was shot so I never, ever find myself on that highway. Damn.
Amen. I NEVER want to go here. This is called trans-fail-tation.
Comment WIN
Driving in Cairo= MUCH MOAR DANGEROUSZ!
Mammering clapper-clawed feline! I here to purge the area of any ICHC comments!
I believe you mean “I’m here to purge the area…” Grammar correction…FAIL.
Dood, y u gotta be so mean . . .
I believe it’s “I iz heer”…
i can haz paw gramma?
U can haz re-purg-itation? Sownds ickii. Mebbe CHRG (wdoi) will halp wit dat problum.
“I’d like to know where this was shot so I never, ever find myself on that highway.
Not reading the above comments before posting fail.
Look closer, hes not riding with his feet, hes not even steering at all… just coasting along.
You’re right. The dude clearly has telekinesis and everything he did was completely safe! What a relief!
you steer with how you throw your body weight, it’s a motorcycle, not a car. going in a faily straight line there is no need for hands….or feet.
I used to be able to do that with my bike…….er, meaning my bicycle. And dood, was he texting?
yes numbnuts he is
fairly straight, or faily straight?
Which explains the steering. A lot of things you can do on a bike that you can’t do in a car – try countersteering a car and you’ll just look a twat. My question is this: how is he keeping the throttle open?
I’d like to see him sit up, and not disturb the balance of the bike … He is sure to shift his weight then!
Gyroscopes (yes, those wheels on the bike spinning at high speeds are gyroscopes) tend to maintain their orientation. It would take a moderate amount of imbalance to tip the bike or send it off course.
How do they drive in this place? It’s a bunch a suicidal drivers…
Much skill and having an already beat to shit vehicle helps.
like a bunch of suicidal drivers, that’s how…WIN
It’s definitely India, where the driving style is VERY different!
I’m surprised that guy doesn’t have someone else holding on to the back of the bike as well, to be honest. Surely if anything it’s a ‘not enough passengers if you can still see the road’ fail.
Ya India (or something near there) was what I thought just due to the driving style.
As a Canadian Im also offended by that comment saying we sound like that.
it’s not really offensive to say we sound like people from India or “somewhere near there”, it’s just kind of ridiculous and ignorant.
and there’s nothing you can do aboot it
/kidding!
Offended by sounding like another culture? You weird Canadian, you >_>
by different, you mean they’re all retarded? and are we sure this wasn’t New York? cuz they seem to have an abundance of retards there.
Or New Jersey.
Jersey drivers have nothing on Connecticut drivers. It’s like nascar on the highway there.
Truth. But I was referring to the fact that Jersey drivers are ‘tards. Connecticut drivers are worse than Mass-holes, but at least they know that they’re driving like that.
I just can’t believe it.
I tried doing that on my bicycle once. I ended up falling and my helmet split open.
thats gotta hurt…
Epic Genital split fail
lmao
Is it safety fail?
Or is it really skills win??
Either way, it’s a fail.
Captain Obvious, isn’t it obvious that the guy DOES NOT incur any harm on himself or anyone else? This is saftey win, albeit, a sketchy one.
How about we call it: Being a good role model fail? Would that make everyone happy?
win
yes, def win. now someone put a disclaimer on that thing so we don’t get sued.
Indeed.
Which country it this?
India
okay I think this is somewhere in India…no.. nobody signals while changing lanes. but I have never seen someone ride their bike with their feet.
If it were JUST a matter of nobody using turn signals I’d say “Memphis TN” because when I was visiting there the only person with a Tennessee plate who used a turn signal (that I saw) got pulled over by a cop. Who did not use turn signals.
But “safety fail” – which one? There were dozens.
This is definitely in India. The car that was switching lanes in the beginning was a Tata, and this was relatively safe compared to other shit that happens on the roads there. But I have to say, he has epic skills.
Safety is for the gays.
I think this is a post fail.
Safety is for me.
epic win
What did I win?
for sure
Comment WIN for “The Gays”
indeed
WIN.
GIVE IT BACK!

I don’t know that they make knives in lesbos

obscure geography knowledge WIN!
Obscure? only to Americans.
Some non-americans actually travel outside their country and have heard of places outside of their own lands….
Yeah sure… You’re not gonna fool us gilbert!!
Woot EPICS SKILL WIN.
But yeah, safety fail.
I fail to see how this is a safety fail.
Follow him around with a camera, it will be eventually.
stop reiterating, I think they got it
thats because youre too busy web surfing on your iphone while driving to work…yes, youve failed indeed
Ehh…hasn’t this been posted before?
I’ve seen it before and I thought it was from this site, too.
Haven’t posts like this been posted before?
Posters have posted posts like this post before. I’m sure of it.

“who let the LoLcat in here? go on shoo! shoo!”
lol
Spreek Engrish!!!
thats the first time i’ve heard an indian “bro”.
dude, bro.
You’ve never watched Harold and Kumar?
I think these guys were just as high as Harold and Kumar
I was expecting the worst, what with how that one van/SUV/whateverthehellitwas was driving ridiculously close to the motorcyclist and the guys videotaping, but honestly, I don’t know if this is made of fail or win…
I need to sit down for a moment…
You watched this video standing up? Bravo good sir
Now I’m never going to get the soda spray out of my keyboard. Damn you, Yelogon!
I watched it while standing without using my feet and texting at the same time.
how can you stand without using your feet?
Oh I found a way…
WIN
He didn’t say *what* was standing.
Male-fail, for I am female.
I concede defeat on that last comment.
The real fail here is playing Chasing Pavements by Adele.
Adele win.
Adele win
(said it twice fail :/)
veis? este FAIL si que masmola… luego hay otros que son una PUTA MIERDA como el de la salsa BBQ ese…
Yep, just like barbecue sauce…

hahahahahha. fail blog post fail.

When it comes to understanding spanish, I fail miserably. So I popped your post into a Spanish to English translator and it said…
“you see? FAIL that if this masmola… then there are others who are a PUT shit like the BBQ sauce that…”
Translation FAIL
comment research ans analysis WIN
*and
lucky save that, you nearly got mugged by the spelling-nazis
a “Puta” would be a lady of the evening, a working girl…
She turns illusions for money…
If he keeps doing that he’ll move from Fail Blog to the Drawin Awards
Drawin Awards? Is that awarded to the person who dies making the suckiest drawing? You forgot your apostrophe, holmes.
SPELLING FAIL!
species fail? back to the drawin board.
dyslexia recognition fial.
LOL
It’s in Delhi….where else ?
(I recognize the license plates and car models)
And for those of you freaking out about the cars being too close, thats light traffic for an average Delhi day – you should see how people drive during rush hour
It was the light traffic that alomost threw me.. I .couldn’t imagine this being India with so little traffic. Way too calm.
I’m a great driver–live and drive in US and have driven in Europe and UK also, but I’m not good enough to drive in India-You have to have that kind of talent to even drive a CAR there… I’d never presume to have that much skill.
Am I the only one who was disappointed when he didn’t crash? I was waiting anxiously for the crazy part of the video where the van merges into him, but it never came…
However, I did.
Twice here.
I was waiting for him to crash too.
Me three!
I’ll call your bet, and raise you twenty thousand.
I’ll take Jules Verne for $1200, Trebek!
Easy rider rides at ease.
I say this is a fail because hes bound to get into an accident. Win for now, fail later.
This is a super fail.
The plates look German but it is hard to tell.
Nope the plates are definitely not German…also there are other types of cars on german roads.
No this is definitively not Germany. All the drivers sit on the right site of the car.
huh?
No….
No, definitly not german! Same colors but different system!
Not Germany, the cars are too rubbishy.
It isn’t so bad until they come over to the UK and drive like that too. Which they do as I know to my cost (and at the cost of my friend’s cute Beetle car.)
Also, you can tell it isn’t Germany because of the lack of Wurstel, Bier und JAWOL HERR LIEUTENANT ICH BIN KEIN NAZI.
Also, if dude tried this on the AUTOBAHN his pie would get poked, resulting in a sauce leak, perhaps culminating in flaming orangutan.
Comment WIN.
seconded.
ich auch keine nazi, ehrlich!
Besides…what does the gender have to do with it?
Soo f’ing hillarious!
But he’s right. I’ve never driven a car without “Weißwurst und Bier”!
We are the country that invented the Weißwurst-holder!
Other than that: Try to watch 1min of Autobahn without seeing 2 BMW and 3 Mercedes.
Haha lol that’s a win!
This is in India. They have some crazy driving there, but I’ never saw anything like this when I was there.
It may be safety fail….
But it is riding win.
Fail.
Lack of blinkers :3
Running low on blinker fluid.
You remember the crazy bikers your mother warned you about when you were learning to drive?
That’s him.
In eurasian countries, people drive like this all the time, and yet there are fewer accidents and less road rage than in america. I have seen videos of intersections in Bangladesh and Seoul that would terrify any normal american.
Do you have data that supports your claim? I would be interested to see the statistics.
US: 300 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 6600 ppl. 89% own cars.
India: 1.1 billion people. 1 traffic death per 5800 ppl. .8% own cars. (That’s less than one.)
Korea: 47 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 4400 ppl. 90% own cars….according to the official word of the korean government*ahem*.
There are more cars than people in the US.
Only 63% of asia-pacific claims to own a vehicle.
The US owns 1/4 of the worlds cars.
We are responsible for 7% of the worlds auto deaths.
Statistics un-postable….urls not allowed, but the WHO has lots of info on this stuff.
so corby?…yer pwnd.
now stfu.
Your claim of “fewer accidents than America” is hardly credible even if you do try to show us some numbers that supposedly support your claim. For one thing the average car in India (and certainly the ones in this video) probably do not have safety devices like those found in America. That coupled with what appears to be very few traffic laws, makes me think there should in fact be a very high percentage of fatal crashes per vehicle. So you can see why your numbers were at first confusing, until you actually look at them and see a key statistic: .8% of Indians own cars! That coupled with the fact that 89% of Americans own cars means that:
89% of 300 million = 267 million American car owners
0.8% of 1.1 billion = 88 million Indian car owners
So as we can see America has 3 TIMES as many car owners than India and yet has ONLY 13% more deaths.
Im going to quote you but change a name.
“so Ammie?…yer pwnd.
now stfu.”
I think you should read up on the number of fatal road accidents in India before you pluck another ridiculous statement out of thin air.
But he didn’t pluck it out of thin air. It came from the Ridiculous Comment Orchard, where the “photoshoppeds” and “Soviet Russias” grow.
I was about to say you forgot “firsts”, but I forgot that those come from the Retarded Comment Orchard.
All your Orchards are belong to us !
Where is that? Nothing at all looks safe there xD
It’s in New Delhi, India. At 0:43, the plates are clearly visible; the DL prefix is for Delhi.
Thread reading Fail.
What the hell country was that in? It’s not just the biker, but everyone was cutting people off, tailgating, and not using their indicators. Yikes.
Thread reading Fail, part deux.
Comment WIN, part deux.
I thought the guy was jacking off at first…
*sigh* If only.
That would’ve been pretty ballsy.
Should I be ashamed that I kept waiting for the guy to crash? Because it totally looks like a set up for something on “The Smoking Gun presents the World’s Dumbest….” I’d love to see those guys comment something this asinine.
ps. Corby, your statement is a huge generalization and largely untrue. Countries like India, China, even Italy have far more road deaths per capita than the United States, whereas places in northern Europe such as Britain, Scandanavia, and Germany have far fewer, but that’s because driving of the type seen in that video is not allowed and traffic laws are strictly enforced.
with all those lousy drivers this guy doesn’t really stand out
SUPER-FAIL!
Not only the guy on the bike, but the moron driving while videotaping the whole thing.
Really? I thought the FAIL was the moronic poster who doesn’t realize in India the steering wheel is on the right.
You are the moron, shithead! Cars in India are Right Hand drive, so the one videotaping was not driving.
Aiz in ur thred, steelin ur thundr.
You’re just like talons … always stealing the BBQ-places. ^^
*Grumble**Grumble* Stupid Serious Sam, always stealing my thunder…
And I thought texting while driving a CAR was bad.
This guy’s not wearing leather or a helmet that fits him either. He gon’ die.
Yousa-Thinksa-hesa-gonna-die?
Did anyone notice the load of refugees? xD
I totally did. XD
pfft. it’s called car pooling. er truck pooling.
Noes, Its a load of refugees : D
It was a joke…
It’s called natural selection folks. He’ll eventually get taken out, but he has probably already reproduced and they cycle will continue… (Didn’t intend for that to be such a bad pun.)
AH! Bad puns FTW! You’re my hero.
You should work for Artix Entertainement.
Yep, that’s India for sure, not sure which part though. That’s the way ppl drive there, the text when they’re on their motorbike (since most service providers provide free texting), but they usually don’t lean back and chill like the way this pro was doing it >_< I was in India for 2 months this summer and i’m sad that i never got to see something like that, lol
Its india, Delhi and texting is not free with any service provider…
Piloting ground craft win, Traffic fail. >_>
Look Ma – no brains!
Commute WIN!
In Soviet Russia, bike rides you!
And once again, I feel relieved that someone wrote this joke before me.
I feel really bad when I think of a joke and am not able to share it … but at the same time, I hate to post such stupid posts centered on overused memes.
Colin, Farewell. May you RIP in that phone booth.
Cutting people off and straddling two lanes fail besides the obvious motorcycle fail.
Anyone who thinks this is a WIN should wait for the hospital report/obituary. Shouldn’t be long…
hope he keeps his donor card handy
I was holding my breath waiting for him to fall… but he didn’t!
wouldn’t surpise me if this was italy… they drive like complete idiots there
Read the God damn thread before posting in it. Where this video takes place has been verified probably 20 times and I’m not even at the bottom yet.
Ass burning retort WIN!
Nomnomnom gets the burn of the week!
But its me who gets burnt.
Yeah…. not funny what you tried to pull off there…
So you actually do get burned…
Which is actually what I was trying to do WIN ?
Proclaiming your own win fail!
Vive la proclomation
^ Regardez, une typo à la française.
yes, very good. you can type french. continue with your terrible french and win.
Never visited Italy fail.
P.S. There are no caucasian people in Italy, only brown people. Fortunately I doubt you understood that last sentence.
Actually, there are some nutty drivers in Italy.
There are nutty drivers in the US too… although I’m pretty sure statistically Italy has worse drivers.
HOLY CRAP.
What an idiot.
pimping-way-of-riding-a-bike win
By the license plates, this was filmed in or near Delhi. Yes, they really do drive like that in India, and a lot worse, but you see very few accidents, actually. No, I’ve never seen anyone ride a motorcycle that way there…
And the reason that guy is alive in India is that the way driving works there, is that even though vehicles are at high speed with no following distance, vehicles generally remain in formation except for vehicles wanting to make a move. That vehicle then does whatever they want, and they don’t die (usually) because all other vehicles are either maintaining tight formation or obviously making a move.
As long as the motorcycle rider maintains a steady course and speed, the other vehicles should be able to know his position and maneuver around him without a collision. But because there are no margins around vehicles, one bump, or one unanticipated move around him, and…SPLAT!!!
So, are lane markers optional there or something?
india? why india? it can be in thailand, taiwan, afghanistan etc etc. but still SHIT
this is DEFFINETLY a win <– spelling fail. nice skills \o/ WIN WIN WIN
That is the coolest guy I have ever seen. I wanna be just like him when I grow up.
See! What did I tell you, good role model fail!
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be motorcycle riders in India!
I’m still waiting for my SPLAT. Seriously. No SPLAT makes Sassy a sad lady.
That’s horrible.
No. Not really. Do dumb shit, get hurt. ‘Tis a fact of life.
I’ve seen this on Youtube days ago
REALLY!!!!!1!!!!
Well done for seeing the video before everyone else, you win a prize!
*facepalm*
Detective Facepalm
Yeah, well. It could take some time before EVERY video on the youtube arrives at the failblog. Probably due to low bandwidth or something :-s
WOAH! you so win at the internet. let me present to you the Golden Tubes Award and alert Mensa. We will also be sending the secret stash of attractive people for use of sexual advancement of Those Who Saw it First and Those Who Post First in Threads.
Nooo!!!!
you’re my hero
Any one else notice the tractor doin hiway speeds?
This is in Europe. Germany maybe,Possibly Switzerland.
see all those words written before you did? you run your eyes over them and they make connections with the brain that then inform you that you fail at reading.
If he didn’t read the ones before he posted, what makes you think he’ll read the ones after?
I don’t know what’s worse: the texting motorcyclist or the awful lane changes….
i’ve been here, it’s New Jersey. must not be rush hour though
Arrrrgh! what is it with you people? seriously, you must have to scroll down the page to reach the comments box, try reading as you go, you will find much wisdom (and answers to why you just failed) along the way
Sarcasm recognition fail
“oh, yeah, I was there” FAIL
Just because New Jersey’s most scenic spots are rest stops and Exit 7A doesn’t mean all roads are New Jersey…
Future Organ Donor
probably already
Concern for human life fail.
Hippy WIN
FAIL for the person with the camera who should have been focusing more on their own driving!
FAIL for the person with the eyes who should have been focusing more on the video
This was in India. The driver was on the right side. The cameraman was in the passenger seat.
International driving recognition FAIL!!!1!
Yeah, like, in the UK, people, they drive, like, in the middle ? No ?
I know where this is – I’ve hear of a place that exists outside of Texas.
Iraq maybe? Either way they all must be terrorists so who cares.
You lie! My momma tol’ me them thar other places tweren’t real. They’s jus’ make-pretend like in the movies.
Srsly, though, sometimes trying to drive across Texas feels like you’ll never find your way out.
This would only have been a *fail* if he had *failed* at what he was doing.
WIN!
I nominate this guy for the Darwin award. He’ sure to be a winner, real soon ..
I see this kind of irresponsible crap all the time here in Norfolk, VA on the interstate near the naval base. These crotchrocket riding studs race one another sometimes laying down sometimes standing.. yep… standing on their bikes. Everyone just gets the hell out of their way so they don’t get some dumbass’ brains splattered cross their windshield. Hope they jail this guy.
what’s a tracker? does have a age? what am the sky?
Wow, I bet they’re from Germany. they hass bad drivers there. I wish he would’ve falled so a tracker can run him over.
Concern for humanity fail.
Seriously. Is that all you can say?
Are you a hippy or something? I hear they have a cure for that now…
You’ve obviously never been to Germany. All of those people would be practically imprisoned if this was in Germany.
Your bad spelling and grammar made me LOL.
video soundtrack fail?
seriously… idiots.
Fact: Never a cop around when there’s really a need for one.
Safety fail, recklessness win!
I saw the same thing a few years ago in Milwaukee. Except that that time it was a guy on a Harley and he was working on a six pack that was in the left saddlebag. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to ride like that.
Even If he was riding in a very unconventional position, the cars were all running way too close to each other. Do you really want him on your hood WHEN he drops the bike from being crazy?
how is this a fail?
At one point, I think I hear a slight Welsh accent? Maybe one of them has a background there or something. But I think it’s India…
Safety Fail? Style Win.
mmmmk people, it may be in india… and it may be in canada, but we all know that it’s on EARTH. the planet of the moose :U
I’m surprised nobody seems to realise it’s not an accent from the country it was filmed in.
It’s a Geordie accent, i.e. from Newcastle in the North of England.
Com ya’re frae France ? Com ya doon frea Lunnon ?
THANK YOU!
Finally!
FAIL? this was the most epic of WINs that i’ve ever seen!
That was ftw.
Coolest guy EVER!
This is driving with style win.
he ish meh hero
I’d know that accent anywhere – they are in Indian, and they are likely Indians themselves. They just sound European/Canadian because of the Indian accent and inflection of words on an English-based language.
Equilibrum win! Keeping the highway clean fail!
Epic driving win. Van at beginning gets safety fail, but cyclist is amazing.
listen to the music in the car its some sappy pop song
The passing without a turn signal is also a saftey fail… I see that all the time…
The motorcycle is a new thing, though.
Balance WIN
Safety fail or Coolness win? You decide.
all the posts above this one are gay!
Obviously you’ve never realized the futility of making such a blanket statement. Not only are you failing massively at properly specifying the object that is ‘gay’ (ie. the ‘posts’, rather than ‘posters’), but you will of course be flamed and ridiculed by a large majority of the people that troll this site (as I am doing at this present moment). Of course, your name ‘just4internatefame’ does already hint as to your intelligence level, so we shouldn’t expect too much: notice the mild usage of ‘leetspeek’ in addition to what his name tells us about his goals in life.
Asimov burn FTW!
Obviously, you’ve never realized that answering this kind of post by composing a meaningless semi-wall-ish eye-scramble seasoned by a sense of composition barely suitable for a 4th grader is just a blatant proof of you failure both not to feed a troll and to candidate for the burn of the week you are obviously aiming at ?
Longest scentence in the thread – Win.
Making a legible point – Fail.
a tad bit hypocritical, maybe?
big words don’t make you sound smart, only dumb, as the point of communication is to be understood, and many people won’t understand (I point to “just4internetfame” mostly) so small simple words are much more suited for the internet, in business it’s a bit different however.
Only your post is gay. That’s what I was told, anyway.
Oh he’s only saying that just for internet fail…
IN SOVIET RUSSIA, MOTORCYCLE RIDES YOU!
er, INDIA!
I dont know whether to be terribly impressed or incredibly appalled…. Any way you cut it though, that takes skill.
I think this should be titled as “Hey you! Out of the gene pool!”
First!
this fails. when do i get to see someone do that and get splattered on the pavement?
Well, next time you try I can film you and you’d eventually get to see your very own splatter.
Just give me a date.
whut?
how the hell did he manage to hold speed?
is there a cruise control for motorbikes?
anyway: awesome vid!
Yup. CCs aren’t uncommon on bikes.
motorcycles = certain death
Life = certain death
headshot = certain death
Yet ANOTHER duplicate fail.
It’s obviously a fail. If he’s driving without handlebars why the hell is he wearing a helmet? XDDDDDD
That’s more of a win then a fail.
That guy’s got a deathwish.
more like a … WIN
I call into question the marital status of the parents of all the posters above this post at the point of their conception.
(oh GOD I’m bored!)
Other than the obvious safety fail, this is definitely a win, and a lot of it.
I believe the fail is with the DRIVER FILMING the motorcyclist
As mentioned the driver is on the right side of the car.
Safety fail….. but laziness win!
I see no fail T____T
how can he accelerate without touching the gas? how come he doesn’t slow down?
Perhaps he is on cruise.
Also, the car that was tapping him could have been forced to slow down due to other cars on the road.
Use your brain. It’s what it’s there for…
That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Wow. Epic win on many levels!
This is EPIC stuff!
The Fonz ain’t got nothing on him.
That douchebag deserves to get Darwn3d.
This fails at failing
lewl. win.
This is an epic win!!!
EPOCH WIN!
Its definitely India, by the accents i’d guess its probably a couple of British Indians visiting.
I have to ask.. did anyone else notice the fact there was a freakin TRACTOR on the highway!?
Its definately Indian with some Indian Brits (possibly from Leeds or The Midlands – with those accents) chatting and having a laugh.
But the guy on the bike – super cool – Awesome
This is not a fail – this is a Cool Biker Win
! Win Win Win !
This says win all over.
holy shit. I was holding my breath that entire clip.
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash!
That…is…l33t.
you smell like f33t.
ZOMG thaat was ……. lets say on a scale of 1 to 10 that was a 214 AWSOME MANE
Thank you come again
…at least he’s wearing a helmet?
I differentiate them by dot or feather. Anyway, it does appear to be India, but here in Dubai the Arabs are all brain dead and drive the same way, if not worse.
win!
i would piss my oants and die if i tried that
Is He Texting?!
FTW!
EPIC WIN!
….
that wasnt a fail..
that was a WIN.. he was like.. awesome.
The licence plates aren’t Canadian. Their laughs sound Indian.
BUT I live in Canada and I’ve seen this more than once on the highway. It’s not funny – it is extremely dangerous. Fail at life.
There’s a lot of crazy shit like this going on in pakistan, india, middle eastern countries and presumably south/central american countries and while it’s a bit redundant to say that the white nerd community are certainly a timid bunch, i did not anticipate THIS much QQ about safety… FFS it gets annoying
i think id have to call that one a win.
all around some of the worst driving ive ever seen
ITS DELHI, INDIA.
multitasking win
Sir I believe this to be a WIN not a FAIL
Motorguy wins totally! Change title
TEXTING WIN
ONLY IN INDIA
LMFAO, this has got to be the best video on here!!!
Fail? Hardly, the guy is a legend.
On the subject of the location of this ‘fail’ video. I have a very good feeling it’s in Dubai. The reasons are as follows:
1 – In Dubai, people quiet often speak English with an Indian accent, this is because of the vast amount of Indian trades/businessmen that work there.
2 – ONLY and ONLY in Dubai, would you see crazy arabs like this. Anyone seen ‘Crazy arabs road skating’?
3 – The road is as smooth as glass! I highly doubt that in India the roads are that good, but I have never been to India so I might be wrong, however I have been to Dubai, and the roads are so straight that a guy could chill on his bike, talking on the phone, whilst driving with his feet.
*Grammar Nazi shield ACTIVATED*
The fail is on the guy driving and recording at the same time.The guy texting and driving at the same time is pure win.
FTW!
more like safety win
its in england
Are you kidding?
That is a safety win because he didn’t get hurt.
OMFG… WOW. This guy has skills. triple win. Riding like that = win. Getting a video of it = win. texting and everything while riding like that = win.
Coolness win.
That’s awesomely cool!
that’s what you get when you sclammin with the mere
This man is going to prison. He is impersonating Chuck Norris.
not much of a fail more like awesome win
beautiful
win
motorbike skill WIN
