Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

ICON Short Film featuring 2 Tiger 800XCs

Post by troy »

OK, so this 30 minute video is CHEESY, but man I wish I could ride like this! I popped some popcorn and watched this on the big screen last night. I'm continually reminded these bikes can do so much more than many of us realize. Thanks for sharing this with me, Luc!

I didn't watch it all but it kind of reminds me of this one.

Love the video! Nice stock bikes!
:) Maybe a little cheesy, but for not for my dream mind, I was right there with them twisting the throttle! Sweet!

That was fun! I can't help but wonder how much stuff they broke..



Also ...riding down railroad tracks is a bad idea.

note the tracks were no longer in use. I did not even see ties between the rails. These guys put the suspension to the limits on those jumps!

Yeah I'm sure they made sure it was safe, I'd just hate to see someone think "hey thats not a bad idea...lets take a shortcut down these abandoned looking tracks...".

In another ICON short film, the riders cut the chain off a locked gate marked "NO TRESPASSING" then run from a police officer. That's probably a bad idea, too! :)

Yes but wouldn't it be fun to drive that "cop car". I wonder who has to foot the bill when they roll high dollar cars :lol:

Did you see his head out the window when the car rolled?! Looked like he got slammed....but helmet, 5-point harness, roll-cage...I guess it all works.
