This is a very interesting approach to test people’s awareness and to prove a point. I’ll let the video speak for itself but I was pretty amazed when I watched it. I was so focused on what was going on that I litererally did not see what was right in front of my face.
Good thing there wasn’t anything red, shiny and candy-like. I’d be all done then!
Cute video of a hen-pecked husband’s torrid love and passion for his Harley-Davidson. There’s a lot of soap and inappropriate touching, not to mention the quintessential, sexy soundtrack of “Let’s Get it On” by Mr. Marvin Gaye. But they’re clearly having a moment together. And that’s special.
OK, we’ve all seen them at least once. You know, you’re driving behind a big truck or a motorcycle and there they are, dangling from the rear fender. A giant set of…danglies, berries, stones, knackers, bollocks, teabags, family jewels, gnads, nuts, testicles -you know…balls! I don’t know what it is but this particular subject has reduced me into a 12 year old boy (much like when I watch Jackass).

I noticed the impact of this trend fully for the first time last summer when I went to bike week in Laconia, NH. Many of the vendors present had large displays of them in all colors of the rainblow, I mean, rainbow. Most common are chrome, gold, brass, pink and most notably, blue. Are they funny? Sure. And they’re also a whole lotta trashy!
If you haven’t seen these before or are curious to peruse the vast variety of nuts out there, allthenutz.com is the online place for you to start. They’re very serious about their nuts. And I love their videos!
But what makes someone put a set of balls on their motorcycle? What statement are they making with a big set dangling off the back? Is it just be a wise-guy? Is it to show off the power and prowess of their fine, steel machine?
“I’m upper, upper class high society
God’s gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I’ve got the biggest balls of allCHORUS
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
And they’re such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls,
And she’s got big balls,
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all…”“Big Balls”-AC/DC
Apparently a lot of women buy these for their vehicles as well. The pink ones are especially hot, although I’ve never seen any of these on a ladies motorcycle (or car for that matter). Whether you like them or not, these things sell like hotcakes and someone somewhere is making serious jingle off of them. I’m glad I don’t have any kids yet that I have to explain these suckers to!
So what do you think? Trashy fun or distasteful humor?
Last night the Teutels showed up on one of my favorite shows: My Name is Earl. Now, if you’ve never seen this show I have to tell you it’s one of the funniest shows on tv (and I’m super-critial of comedies. Or maybe I just have a strange sense of humor…but I digress).
The premise of the show is that Earl has done a lot of bad things in his life and after winning the lottery & then getting hit by a car, he has an epiphany and decides he has to cleanse his karma by righting the wrongs he’s done.
Last night’s show, Stole a Motorcycle, details a night that Earl and his brother, Randy, stole a motorcycle from the OCC guys shop (not a chopper, it was a crappy beater bike that looked like a Sportster) that someone left the keys in. Paul Sr. and Jr. did their typical arguing schtick and Mikey was the jokester who left the keys in the bike. Screen time was short and sweet.
(the videos are from nbc.com, so sorry if there’s ads in them)
The interesting thing is that OCC was also approached to create a My Name is Earl theme bike to be auctioned off for the Make a Wish foundation. If you watch the show, then you can understand how humorous the paint job and plaid shirt seat cover is.
The actors talk about the Teutels’ acting abilities and Paul Sr. talks about creating the charity bike:
If you can try watch the episode either in a re-run or somewhere online. I highly recommend it!
Yes, ’tis true. A music video by Criss Angel, the magician.
It’s kind of formulaic for a “metal” music video.
‘Nuff said. Throw up the horns and rock on with your bad selves!
I’m going to let you in on one of my deep, dark guilty-pleasure secrets: I love watching Jackass. While I didn’t watch the show faithfully, I did watch both movies which unleashed my inner, giggling 12 year-old boy. The rational side of me knows that I shouldn’t like what they do one bit and that other rational adults absolutely abhor what they do. But I can’t help it. I love ‘em.
Recently, Johnny Knoxville decided that he was going to attempt an Evel Keneval-style stunt by flipping a motorcycle backward in the air. Problem was, he didn’t really know what he was doing, let go of the bike mid-air which promptly landed on him-breaking the handlebar off in his crotch.
So today you guys get a 2-for-1:
Here’s a short and sweet clip of the crash itself (no sound).
Here’s a much longer clip of Johnny on the Jimmy Kimmel show discussing the accident, the actual accident shot from a different angle and imparting the joys of having a catheter.
I know, he’s an idiot.
Holy ’80’s Batman!
One of my favorite streaming radio stations of late is Radio Nigel, a station that plays ’80’s music WITH ATTITUDE. Anyway, yesterday they played “Harley David” by the Bollock Brothers, which sounded somewhat familiar to me. Low and behold, I even found their video on youtube in all it’s hilarity.
Honestly, these guys don’t look like they would even know what to do with that motorcycle!
From the Exile Cycles site:
Be sure to watch next Sunday’s [RK: February 10 @ 9PM] episode of “Rock of Love” on VH1. Brett Michaels brings ten hot chicks, each one a potential Mrs. Michaels, into our workshop for their next challenge. Watch tensions rise as two teams race to get their Exile custom finished and fired first, all the while under the strict eyes of Russell and head mechanic Random. The finished chop then takes pride of place in the Rock of Love mansion for the whole season.
Check out VH1.com for more information or to satisfy your gnawing curiosity about Rock of Love 2: A Ride on the Wild Side.
I don’t know how old this commercial is or where it ran, but it’s pretty amusing!
Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday!
Today’s video Tuesday is not motorcycle inspired at all, but the opening scene from one of my all-time favorite Christmas specials: Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special!
I’ve decided to take a bit of a break and I will be back online after the New Year! See ya in 2008!
