This Guy Almost Gets His Motorcycle Loaded… Almost!

I guess the best thing we can say here is at least he was not driving his motorcycle while trying to load it on a truck. Take a look and see what I mean. This guy is attempting to load his motorcycle in a manner that tends to defy human reason. However, to a guy, it makes perfect sense. We love jumping ramps and defying odds.
It’s what we first learned to do when we unwrapped those hot wheel cars at Christmas as a young boy. That orange track never seems to be enough. We improvise and hang it from doorways or counter tops to increase the speed. That’s pretty much what this guy is trying to do. And, to his credit, he is mostly successful.

I say mostly because the motorcycle does end up on its side like a fat pig taking a break, but at least he tried. At the end of the day, that’s all we have sometimes. The phrase “At least I tried,” has been uttered by guys on more than a few failed attempts. Even though it is not spoken in this instance, it is certainly implied.

Yes, he probably could have gotten the other two people behind him, plus the person with the camera, to help him push the bike up the loading ramp and into the bed of his truck. However, that would have been too easy. There’s no flair. No style. No point really. This guy lives by the ultimate man creed. Go big or go home! Today was a unique day for him, though. This motorcycle incident actually fulfilled both sides of the man creed. How, you ask? Observe.
Go Big. Well, he was indeed going big, that’s not in question. He had a decent amount of distance between his motorcycle and the loading ramp, and a great downhill incline. The only thing between him and load up success was the height of his truck bed. If he had been racing downhill on that thing, that would not have been an issue. However, judging by the failed load up attempt, I’m sure we would be dealing with a whole new type of disaster. I picture him flying through the air, sailing over the truck completely, or smashing through the back glass of the cab. You always have to see the throttle on a motorcycle. Especially one built for speed. They can be tricky.
Go Home. He does not do that, though. No, our hero decides to run his bike down the street in an effort to overcome gravity and human logic. He overcomes neither. Yet this brings us to the second part of fulfilling the man creed. After the fail, the only thing left to do is go home. It could not be any easier for him. This probably marks the first time in man creed history where “Go big or go home” can be modified with one word, “Go big and go home.”
Whether he did or not, I can’t say. If I had to guess, I would probably say yes. If it were me, I would need some time to cry big tears thinking of all the replacement parts and repairs I would be needing for the motorcycle I just destroyed. He is essentially going to have to replace every piece of plastic on the left side of that crotch rocket. He may even need to replace the exhaust, too, depending on how much it was damaged. The most expensive thing to repair, though, will be his ego.
That one will take some time, and I would not expect any of his friends in the clip to help. I mean come on, they couldn’t even help him load up his motor bike. On the “Friends who will help” scale, these people are listed under “Last resort”. If you laughed then you just thought of the people you have on your list. The point? He will recover in time, along with his bike.
However, I think maybe next time he will think twice before attempting such an auspicious maneuver. In fact, he might not even pursue it at all, which would leave us high and dry. We wouldn’t want that to happen.
