Fun fact, that's a motorcycle magazine tester (IIRC he's one of the editors), it was a video shoot for capturing b roll footage for the review of that bike. Hit the pannier on one of the metal poles, and fell into internet infamy. He still has his job, but will probably never live it down.Quote:

Manufacturers have banned a couple of them from ever doing press release drives, I think the last one was 2 were banned for crashing alfa romeo 4c's in Italy.
They use the blackbird for photo shoots & ads...no need to have the real cars^.

Carlos, that is soooooooo, um.....recently.
Can't remember when I saw that, but I saw it.
It's amazing and stuffs, but lord, it's so old...:p
Car magazines don't use the blackbird for anything. Blackbird was designed to be rented by the manufacturer for their own tv ads, so I have no idea why you brought it up.Quote:
