Watch a Container Truck Fall Right in Front of One Very Lucky Motorcycle Rider

Rest assured, if the scooter rider featured in this clip had not been able to back up a couple of feet before the container truck tipped over, we wouldn't be showing you this video footage shot from a nearby security camera.

Then again, if he wasn't in such a hurry to sprint through the traffic light in front of the cars waiting on the zebra crossing, he wouldn't have found himself in this life-threatening position, would he…

Watch a Kawasaki ZX-10R Chase an Audi RS6 ABT 700HP on the Autobahn

Yes, you read that correctly and we did not place the models in the wrong order; it's the almighty Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R that's doing the chasing most of the times in this crazy meet up with an Audi RS6 Avant ABT on Germany's largely speed-limit free Autobahn.

We're told that the tuned super-station wagon makes 700-horses, but we wouldn't be surprised if it was more, and you won't be either after you watch the Audi overtaking the Kawasaki, which was travelling at a speed of 300km/h (186 mph), with ease in the second video at the 12-second mark.

Oops…Parent on a Motorcycle Loses Child on the Road

Well, if yougsters can fall off from cars, then we have to assume that you won't be the least surprised to learn that this can happen with motorcycles as well.

As the laws from country to country differ widely, we don't know if placing a child behind you on a motorcycle or a scooter is legal, but it goes without saying that riders should be extra cautious when doing so.

The motorcyclist seen in this dashcam footage, which was reportedly filmed in Japan, didn’t notice that the kid fell off the bike at the traffic light until he was several hundred feet away. Luckily, the youngster was able to get up by himself and run across the road to safety….

Watch a Motorcyclist Scaring and Surprising People with Load Exhaust

As much as we all like the mechanical noises produced from well-tuned cars and motorcycles, we assume that there are times many of us could do without some of the obnoxious crack, snap and pop sounds echoed from certain exhaust pipes.

One such example comes to us through this video of a biker - presumably from the United Kingdom, who seems to like scaring pedestrians and road users while surprising others, with sudden burst of the throttle, usually at a red light.

Indonesia City Mayor Wants Female Motorbike Passengers to be Banned from Straddling

Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim country. In September 2009, the Aceh provincial government, which is the only to follow the strict Sharia, introduced a law that punished adultery to stoning by death.

It also didn’t allow men to wear shorts and women to wear tight trousers and jeans, as those items were deemed offending. Some women objected, saying skirts would be impractical when riding motorcycles or scooters.

If Mike Terrorista's Ride Doesn't Make You Dizzy, We Don’t Know What Will…

Talk about challenging your fate. A biker nicknamed Mike Terrorista from São Paulo, Brazil is making headlines in his country (and probably soon all over the world) for his crazy and dangerous motorcycle rides, which he films and then uploads on his YouTube channel – always a good idea when you're doing something clearly illegal…

The following video speaks for itself – though, come to think of it, we wouldn't mind a translation from our Brazilian readers highlighting some of the things heard from both the biker and the television presenter.

BMWs and Two-Wheelers Don't Mix in Taiwan

Here's another episode between a BMW driver and a biker in Taiwan. Whereas last time, we saw a bicyclist crossing paths with a BMW (and paying the price for it…), now it's a scooter rider.

The person steering what looks to be a BMW M5 E61 sedan charges off as soon as the light turns green but is soon annoyed by the presence of a motorcyclist.

2012 SEMA Show Report Mega Gallery, Part Two with 338 Pictures

At “traditional” auto shows, car manufacturers take center stage to display their regular line-up and a concept or two with tuning and equipment companies more often than not, playing second fiddle.

Geneva, Tokyo, Detroit and Frankfurt are all nice and dandy for unveiling the latest production-intent models and outlandish concepts, but Las Vegas and its Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is a different “beast” altogether.

At SEMA, there is something for everyone; from subcompacts, pickup trucks and pony cars to lavishly made hot-rods, the latest bunch of supercars and anything and everything in between.

The 2012 show was a real bonanza of thousands of modified vehicles and tuning products for anything you could possibly think of – and then some more. Since the event is not open to the public (the reason being, presumably, that it would have to last a couple of months or so…), images will have to suffice.

When You Try This with a Harley Davidson, You're Asking for Trouble….

We will let you in on a dirty "little" secret that may surprise a select few including the protagonist of this accident: Harley Davidson motorcycles aren't sports bikes and should never be treated as such on the road.

To give you an example, a telltale sign that you are definitely overdoing it and pushing your luck is the sound of stretched saddlebags scrapping the asphalt. If anything else, this should inform you that you are being too much of a "Low Rider" for your own safety.
