Jul 11 2008OMG, OMG, WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!!!
This is a video of a guy lying down on a motorcycle and text messaging, all while cruising down the highway in New Delhi, India. No way? Yes way! And also, holy shit!
Have a great weekend everybody.
Thanks to Lockjaw and Julian for showing me the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

F***tard....
shortly after his roadkill ass'll be getting scraped off the road
7. Bernstein - July 11, 2008 5:07 PM
First off, the other cars in this video are the worst drivers ever. Second, holy shit that motorcyclist is f***ing amazing!
8. fucktard - July 11, 2008 5:09 PM
how is that more comfortable than just sitting on the damn thing???
9. Rutty - July 11, 2008 5:15 PM
Why do all vids like this, the ones where the guys filming are trying to pretend like their witnessing something pre-staged, always sound like total douche bags?
"no way bro... ha ha ha... bro! no way... BRO NO! WAY NO BRO!"
ass hats.
Still quite the stunt though.
10. meanmofo - July 11, 2008 5:18 PM
I love it when foreign people use American slang...for me that was the best part!
11. prewife - July 11, 2008 5:18 PM
that takes balls!
How does he keep the throttle open? is that really how they drive there? They are not even in the lanes!

I've never wished pain more on a human being than I just did on that guy.
13. HoboCode - July 11, 2008 5:28 PM
"He's just chilling!" Who knew three little English words in an Indian accent could make tears roll down my cheeks. ROTFL!
14. HLK - July 11, 2008 5:29 PM
The sheer coolness.....it's....too much....
15. lameo - July 11, 2008 5:45 PM
Anyone ever notice:
1. The Superficlal and the I Watch Stuff writers have the EXACT SAME sense of humor?
2. None of these websites update on the weekends?
3. The Superficial has de-evolved into "Women in Bikinis and Some Gossip?"
16. Cliff - July 11, 2008 6:08 PM
I gotta say, compared to what I've seen in Hyderabad myself, this is the most responsible, organized video of Indian traffic I've ever seen.
17. Clinch - July 11, 2008 6:23 PM
This kind of thing does actually happen in India. There's also a video somewhere of some guys just walking across a motorway frogger-style.
They're crazy!
18. Jubbz - July 11, 2008 6:32 PM
Can someone explain how he's keeping the throttle open?
19. ummmm - July 11, 2008 6:36 PM

I thought they were written by the same group/person anyway?
Also, the throttle is the big question here yeah!
20. proteon - July 11, 2008 6:40 PM
All of you go try this right now.
21. klitorisaurus - July 11, 2008 7:13 PM
#19- Are you new?
22. Amy - July 11, 2008 7:17 PM
I actually find the I Watch Stuff has the most high brow sense of humor. Geekologie's is "I'm a fat loser with a walrus girlfriend and a wife with a hook for a hand and a vaj as big as Yankee stadium, someone kill me" and then The Superficial's is "Look at my manly chest".
23. SmokingGirl - July 11, 2008 8:15 PM
Yes, the Superficial has gotten to be quite inane...although I think that's more due to the people who write in the comments section more than anything else.
And this stunt was crazy, but when you heard the guys who were filming it talk, did anyone else think "thank you come again"? I know I did.
24. poop - July 11, 2008 8:21 PM
i saw this the other day. we're finding the same shit at the same time. what's up? i'll send you some robot shit this weekend. don't make a special trip into the office for it though. ...because i may forget and send it on monday.
25. dan - July 11, 2008 8:22 PM
that guy's still better than half the drivers from new jersey
26. Steve - July 11, 2008 8:26 PM
He probably has a "throttle lock" which is a small device many motorcyclists use to keep the throttle locked in one position for long drives. Kind of a poor man's cruise control.
Also, other countries don't really have the same road laws that we do in the US or in Europe. In most other countries, you can just kinda do whatever, as long as you don't hurt anyone. Plus, they tend to have a slightly lower police force (or more lax) to enforce the laws. So yeah... lanes? What lanes?
27. Tom Frost - July 11, 2008 9:53 PM
big deal i do this in my desk chair all the time.
28. Jim - July 11, 2008 10:10 PM
Lane Discipline is a new concept in India... so are lanes. Also, he is only going about 25 to 30 mph max. Their motorbikes are puny compared to elsewhere. I believe they are 250cc max! As for not using the handle bars to steer. Remember riding a ten speed??? Same thing. Just lean a tiny bit towards the direction you want to go. The only thing that has me perplexed is how he is throttling it?!
29. hojo - July 12, 2008 3:08 AM
Motorcycles steering is sort of counter-intuitive, particularly at speed. For example, if you want to turn right, you would turn the bars slightly left, which would cause the bike to lean and thus turn right. At speed it's not difficult to steer strictly by leaning, however, this is extremely dangerous because, if you hit a bump, it can set up a nasty oscillation in the handlebars that results in you reclining on the pavement.
30. angel - July 12, 2008 4:06 AM
That's nothing new. Some people even stand on motorcycles. That guy is just boasting. lol
31. McTOM - July 12, 2008 5:51 AM
i thought some motorcycles have cruise control, that would solve the problem.
32. core - July 12, 2008 2:22 PM
its India, he could've just duct taped the throttle where he wanted it for all we know, not very advanced as far as cars and bikes go..look at the tractor with like 15 people on it near the end.
33. Grant - July 12, 2008 4:45 PM
Watch my POV crash
34. Grant - July 12, 2008 4:52 PM
maybe that worked
35. Garrett - July 12, 2008 5:49 PM
This isn't real - i hope u all know that
36. butterbee - July 12, 2008 5:51 PM
Indians sound like high Americans.
37. lauren - July 12, 2008 10:36 PM
haha, wow.
38. hojo - July 12, 2008 11:32 PM
Garrett... I can't figure out if you are being ironic or speaking from a position of ignorance.
I've done it myself... although I skipped the texting part... that's just dangerous :-)
39. Jason - July 13, 2008 12:44 AM
There has to be at least one person who denounces everything that's cool as "fake", thus making them even cooler.
40. iota1 - July 13, 2008 4:18 AM
DARWIN!
41. http://webescape.wordpress.com/ - July 13, 2008 5:46 AM
Is it bad that I felt shocked until I read the bit about it being in India? Jesus, the fact that he did it at all was bed enough, but switching lanes? Bizarre!
42. omphaloskeptic - July 13, 2008 8:21 AM
i'm surprised these comments have reached 40 and havent been tainted by a bunch of f***ers clalming 'fake', excluding the one jackass
not that i'm going to weigh in
that guy was totally right about 'lanes' in some countries. It's almost as if they saw western roads and thought 'yeah we need some white median strips' but didn't really follow through with road rules. Not that i'm slagging them as being primitive if it sounds like that, it's just a part of developing nations. once someone becomes accountable for road trauma then rules might be more strictly adhered to
im sounding like a wanker now so im going to beat ppl to the punch and just admit to being one
43. Tim - July 13, 2008 1:38 PM
You can't really say this is played out and they're trying to talk like Americans....you know India was subjugated by the British Empire for almost a hundred years right? Indian's most of the time speak English to one another - not Hindi or any other form.
44. Madhumala - July 13, 2008 6:18 PM
I've been on that road, and those people are freaking crazy so... yep, I believe it.

49. peter - July 14, 2008 5:31 AM
he's not a pro-rider they would not do that?
sh*t happens when some one else has the problem
tyre blows or something you know the scenario

My only hope is that Darwin was right and evolution will take care of everything, including this Bozo.

i think i've seen that guy in my hometown. . .
53. guate6 - July 15, 2008 12:07 PM
This guy's insane. He'll die soon if he does that often.
Make fun of Indians all you want, they have 100% of the country speaking their native and respectable languages (hindi, urdu, etc.) AND they all speak english. They get high marks in schools and become professionals wherever they go. And their food's good too :)
54. Trevor - August 28, 2008 5:36 PM
Hey, f*** all you guys. This guy is my hero. You're jealous. I don't ever ever ever talk on the phone while driving, and especially don't text, but this takes it to a whole new level. What a beast. Texting while lying back on a motorcycle, steering with his knees.... ON THE HIGHWAY. SERIOUSLY, COME ON. That's talent. It may be inspired by stupidity, but still amazing talent.
55. Richard C. Mongler - August 30, 2008 6:05 AM
i think crazy motorcyclist is a pretty cool guy. eh texts on the highway and doesn't afraid of anything
56. Shoka - December 1, 2008 10:07 AM
He's probably keeping the throttle going using one of those bike cruise control things, just a clip that keeps it twisted. But seriously what a dumbass. He'd be dead for sure if he came off that. Looking at how those idiots drive (see how close that first car cut across? Nearly took the bumper off) if he came off that bike, he'd not only lose most of his skin, but he'd also be run over about six times.
57. anon man - December 11, 2008 12:11 PM
well i live in india n its not fake
we see these things everyday and we r not surprized
58. Tammy - December 13, 2008 8:45 PM
