I WANT TO KNOW TOO!!! AFGHANISTAN SUCKS!!!! | ||
| Boogiman1981 |
afn usually has them on. at least we did when i was at JBB | ||
| Dreso1021 |
we dont have afn here at hammer  we're in the process of shutting this place down. | ||

I know when I was there at JBB in the spring that AFN was a little slow on putting things like that on same season but usually about 4-6 months out. | ||
| Juniorkirk |
we have AFN here, but only FOUR channels. 'prime', 'xtra', 'sports' and 'on demand', and NEVER mythbusters. | ||

SPOILER POST The Myth was busted. Run 1 - duplicated the commercial of a full set table with the bike starting from a stop. Table settings fell everywhere Run 2 - same table setting but table cloth had 200ft of rope so the bike could achieve 60mph before the cloth was pulled. Results were better but still had items falling. Run 3 - 300 ft of rope with the table edge smoothed to prevent the cloth from ripping. Bike achieved over 100mph and items still fell. Run 4 - again from a stop with the table covered in a silicone spray and the settings placed on a large plastic sheet with the cloth sandwiched between the sheet and the table therefore isolating the table settings. SUCCESS!! Myth was busted. Bike was a black 1125R with the side fairings, chain drive, Erik Buell Racing exhaust and who knows what else! Looked and sounded great! Hope that all makes sense.

nice thanks. now to try and download it so i can see/hear the bike | ||

They reenacted the trick with a bike that didn't have 190 hp and traction control. That doesn't exactly sound busted to me. I mean the whole point of the BMW commercial was that the S1000RR performs unlike any other bike...even a Buell. The point was driven home by Aprilia when they spoofed the video. They all but conceded that they couldn't duplicate the BMW trick, but since they were the ones winning races, who cares?

Watching it now....who would have known that Jamie was a Buell guy. Great sounding Buell with chain drive and a different swing arm. Never mentioned Buell by name though | ||

If they didn't on yours, your cable company edited it out on you | ||

Freight_dog, It doesn't matter whether or not the bike had 190HP and traction control. BMW still can't out do the laws of physics. They still have to cheat just like the MB did to make it work. I think to your point, the event was to bring attention to BMW's new bike, regardless of whether or not it was able to do the stunt (which it wasn't without cheating as the MB's did) (Message edited by easttroy on October 28, 2010) | ||

He said it was the DSB version 1125 when he's talking to the camera about the bike. He said if the trick didn't work, it wasn't because lack of power. Sweet bike. | ||
| Theirishbueller |
He never said it was a "Buell", he said said something to the effect of, "it's an 1125...yadda, yadda, yadda...made by erik buell racing". So even better than just calling it a buell, great exposure for ebr. Tons of screen time for the bike too. | ||

so if you watch the BMW video which they showed several times. i swear to me it looks like the table settings are on a sheet of plexi when the rider first takes off the whole end of the table lifts but then it all settles without so much as a chink of glass. i didn't finish watching the show as i caught the rerun at midnight but that's what i thought i saw in the BMW video. | ||

I'll be darned if I can find the link but when the video came out, it was almost debunked immediately and BMW had done it by placing everything on top of a sheet of plexiglass in the same fashion the MB did at the end to "pull off" the stunt. Need to keep searching for the source. Better yet though, look at it this way. The run done before the finale had the bike getting a head start such that by the time it pulled the tablecloth, it had a velocity of over 100 MPH. The tablecloth would then experience an instantaneous force when the slack from the rope caught and the trick still didn't work. So for anyone who thinks the BMW can pull this off then they would have to have had a greater force from the start greater than the force of the rope being pulled at 100MPH instantaneously. No F&*(%^$ Chance. | ||

First time I've seen the show ... Didn't think that mustache would fit into a full face helmet! For those believing the BWM (or any bike) did that trick without trickery, I have a bridge to sell you. You couldn't do that with a top fuel dragster. There's a reason this physics stuff is called Laws. Mike | ||

We all spotted the shiny surface of the table the day BMW released the video. There is a sheet of plexiglass on top of the table cloth, and all the place settings are on top of that. I didn't think anyone had any doubts about that but I see I was mistaken. | ||
| Froggy |
I hope you mean this episode, if you never seen any Mythbusters before, something is wrong with you!  | ||
| Milleniumx1 |
I've never seen the show at all Froggy. I've heard about it, just never tuned in. I'll do better going forward  | ||

When I was in Thailand during the SEA fracas, a heavily inebriated, native American Indian F4 pilot attempted to do the tablecloth thing one evening in the O-Club. Lots of dishes got broken. | ||

Jamie said in the after show video that the bike was his personal Buell 1125R modified by Erik Buell Racing to bring it up to DSB specs. ie: Full Race Exhaust, Race ECM, Fairing, Chain Drive. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-tablec loth-chaos-aftershow.html#mkcpgn=twdsc2 |
