Scary Motorcycle Trail Ride March 8, 2011

Dude… Doooood!
I can’t even imagine walking on this trail, let alone riding a motorcycle on it.
My buddy in Vegas, that I’ve known for 55 years, sent this to me.
I’m pretty sure they are speaking German. Perhaps someone would offer a translation in the comments.

I couldn’t even watch to the end, my heart couldn’t handle the stress.
I think the guy in the front with the camera on his helmet is American… Heard him say “Peace out” at the early part of the vid with no German accent, but then he switched to German after the guy behind him started talking. Couldn’t make out much. I heard “aber” which means “however.” The German seemed annoyed. *not surprised*
I was physically leaning to the left while I watched this. Hahaha. But the video footage focusing on the German behind him helped improve the perspective… the path looks much wider in relation to the cycle in those shots… but STILL very dangerous terrain.
*wonders where this is*
I’ve ridden on some trails but not nearly as narrow as this. The danger is that you will give it too much gas and your rear wheel will break loose and scoot off the edge.
In the title of the video it says ‘… mal etwas…’ could that be ‘bad trail’?
I’m going to send it to my German cousin, maybe he will provide a translation.
I nearly had a heart attack when they had to climb the ledges at 2:50 and 6:20.
They are indeed speaking German. It’s muffled by the helmets, so I could only translate a little of the conversation at the first stop.
Rider #1: Dang, even for a German, I have done a lot of stupid shit, but this is by far the most stupid thing I have ever done. I just crapped my pants.
Rider #2: Fuck you, moron. You told me it was just a scenic trail. If we make it, I am going to rip your dick off with my bare hands.
I don’t think “mal” means bad in German. That comes from Latin.
“Etwas anders” I recognize. It’s the equivalent of “something else.” It’s just a snippet from a longer sentence, apparently.
Yea. “Etwas” means “something.”
And I think “mal” meals “more” if I recall that correctly.
Michael, loved your translation of our biker-doods. LMAO!
Second guy’s obviously annoyed.
Apparently they are in Italy, by the way. Liguria is a very pretty region on the northwestern coast, close to France. Cathy and I and our kids stayed there once in the area of Portofino. IIRC, the town where we were was Santa Margherita, but I’m not sure. Long time ago.
(Ligurische Grenzkammstrasse = Ligurian ?-Street)
Christopher Columbus came from the Ligurian region. I remember very rugged landscape similar to this as we drove around.
Are you fucking kiddin me?
Retards.
OK, I looked it up.
Grenzkammstrasse translates as something like Granite Ridge Trail.
(“Strasse” in German is used for any kind of way, not just ordinary streets.)
I’m not even going to try to watch that.
*shiver*
brass balls and shit for brains
O/T: A little China fear-mongering for Michael.
Just guessing, but it looks from the article that they are doing straight-line extrapolations from the current efforts by China to modernize its obsolete military, without any consideration of the demographic realities, political fragility, environmental issues that can’t be postponed forever, and an economy fueled by unsustainable FX rates. In other words, typical BS scare talk. Plus, they’re Brits.
*looks at Geoff*
Dang, he got me again.
10 – 15 years. Pssht. What useless nonsense. Western civilization is going to collapse under the weight of its own silliness, lunatic self-destroying public policies, and crushing debt levels LONG before that! I just hope our crash is big enough to take them down too.
Remember folks – stock up on your assless chaps and football shoulder pads before The Great Fall!
Also, Geoff, a point I have made before — China now holds something like $1.2 trillion in U.S. debt. That’s the ante if they want to get belligerent with us.
Also stockpile ammo, Mitchell. Lots and lots of ammo. It will be the post-apocalypse currency, not precious metals.
I tried to get my former employer to agree to pay my pension in 12 gauge shotgun shells, but they would not buy into the idea.
^Yah I’ve been thinking about more ammo. Gun show coming to town next weekend I was pondering going there and grabbing a 1000 rounds of various stuff. I’m also buying silver.
I also have stockpiled a lot of water in a large reservoir in my yard.
It’s called a pool, Michael.
Call it what you want, Lipstick. When civilization ends, ima gonna bottle and sell the water for shotgun shells and AK-47 rounds.
Our whole neighborhood is surrounded by high stone walls that, I think, are not climbable by zombies, so we are all set to establish our defensive perimeter. Also, we are encircled by some real good fields of fire all ready to serve as killing grounds (they are currently referred to as “fairways”) if zombies get inside the perimeter.
*Imagines Michael trying to drink shotgun shells and AK-47 rounds.*
Yeah, good luck with that!
No, Mitchell, you don’t get it. I’ll trade surplus potable water for AK-47 rounds, which I can use as currency to buy gas, which I can use to fuel a generator, which will enable me to turn on my computer and access internet midget porn sites.
See, I have thought this through. Don’t sneer at me like I don’t know what I am doing.
Ok, obviously one of us isn’t taking this discussion very seriously. You should have all the midget porn downloaded and backed up locally already. Don’t rely on the internet to be there after The Fall.
Mitchell, now you are being silly, and you are starting to piss me off. I don’t care what happens, the midget porn sites will make it through just fine.
Sheesh.
which will enable me to turn on my computer and access internet midget porn sites.
He’s one of our best customers.
Trouble brewing…
Mrs. BrewFan’s birthday is May 21st. I guess I’m off the hook for a birthday present.
Aren’t you going to be in Arizona around that time?
I think AZ is on the list to be saved.
Might want to pick up that new Shimano reel that you know she wants.
haha! I am in Arizona as we type. As usual, my timing is impeccable. Seeing as how the world ends in a few months and its going to be 81 degrees and sunny today I think I should go see a Brewer’s game. Sounds like a plan!
I remember having a back and forth conversation with Mrs. Peel about this video, and then I sent her to this video.

It didn’t have to annoying soundtrack at the time, so you could hear all the huffing, scraping, and creaking.
stock up on your assless chaps and football shoulder pads before The Great Fall!
Mrs. Geezer and Assless Chaps. Of course it’s safe for work.
Nice video, Will.
I plan on also using my grandmother’s silver as post-apocalypse currency. You can melt it down into bullets, and it also makes a lovely table.
Michael, fill up your pool with gasoline and your house will be headquarters for the next installment of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdrome.
Michael, fill up your pool with gasoline…
Puking Lions = Flamethrowers?
OK, that’s just silly
Oh, just an idea – when we get together to take over the little refinery out in the middle of nowhere I suggest that we DON’T attack the flamethrower and armored bus defended side of it.
I suggest that we DON’T attack the flamethrower and armored bus defended side of it.
You’ll be fine.
1,000 rounds of ammo is a stockpile?
Amateurs.
And “assless chaps”? Aren’t all chaps “assless” by design? If they weren’t “assless”, they’d be called………..pants.
^Well, yes of course. But it’s more fun to call the “assless” chaps.
We only call them that to piss off Dave.
It irritates Dave too? That’s just a double-bonus then.
