Is this the TF&F in bike form? It looks intresting by the trailer. Is it worth seeing?

Random could probably tell you if the bikes alone are worth seeing, but I'll tell you one thing, it looks crappy to me.

Interesting? I'd have to use a different word. But yes, I'll watch it and it won't hurt for you to download it either. It has a stupid premise (sport bike riders don't drag race to prove themselves rolleyes.gif they use the bikes as they were designed for - twisties!), but if you have low expectations, you won't be disappointed.

From what I can tell, It's TF&TF in bike form. Good music, plays like a music video, and lots of stunts on wild looking bikes.

Don't get me wrong, those kinds of bikes do exist in LA, and other major cities, and they do tend to "pack" or become "gangs", but nothing like in the movie. If you just spend $13,000 for a Hyuabusa, and another $20,000 getting everything chromed, painted and pulling another 50 WHP outta what is already a 170 WHP bike...do you really think you're going to do half the crazy **** you see in the movie?

heck no.

The guys who do those kind of stunts always have beat to snot bikes with no fairings left, scratches all over the frame/handlebars/pipes..etc..etc..

It really is just TF&TF in bike form. I still can't wait to see it.

Did I mention My spare rear swingarm is getting chromed?

I thought it was pretty good. It was better than what I expected. Also, they showed the preview for 2 Fast 2 Furious, but I saw it on the internet before that.

eww..Random, what's up with the chrome?

Leave it for the Harleys and Indians. Carbon Fiber is the way to go.

Yeah...tricks are nice, especially when there are a bunch of fine girls to impress Too bad I stopped doing tricked after I dropped my r6 trying to do a stoppie. frown

It's not actual chrome. Its a ceramic coating that looks like chrome. Makes the swing arm much easier to clean, and looks a hell of a lot better without adding weight.

Sorry, CF Swingarms are $$$$. No thanks!
