OK even at 64 I can hoist a bag of animal feed onto each shoulder But a full sized crotch rocket? I don't think so and for sure not on my head
In th 60's there was a song titled I think, "Elevator Driver". What is his name "ladder king"?
That guy doesn't look like he is actually doing that as it is swaying like it is being hoisted by cables/forks/something else rather than by the visual trickster. Setup=Candid Camera? Why put a bike like that on top of a bus without a rack? Fuel dearer than fare? How did he get it on his head? Too many unseens for me.,
I'm not sure it's fake if you watch his body, head and torso are staying in alignment while his hips, legs and climbing hand are doing the work in 3 part harmony. Not sure what bike that is (Yamadog?) but think it's a small cc maybe a 250 or less by the size of the side case...probably about 250lbs. An R6 Crotch Rocket 600cc only weighs about 360lbs dry. I've carried 2 bags of cement at a time and a few 16' 4x6's, picked up a queen sofa sleeper and carried it about 20', but wouldn't try that at my age...but a mans gotta do what a mans do I guess, even if he's showing off, it's impressive.
However, like ranald ask...why on top of a bus and what is that writing on the side of the bus? I would bet he had help getting it up on his head also.
Some of us are bullit proof when young & do the impossible.Quote:

The lady replied that her husband would help. The hubby ,about 30, was useless & himself a trip hazzard: even insisted on removing the trays. Once outside the doors this almost 60 y.o. carried the old beast down the staircase & up the road to my vehicle. Upon returning, I was given the trays & arriving home I received a phonecall advising that hubby had forgotton to give me one of the tray pieces. Not Happy! Used it without the part and bodgied one from another, but it died a short while after so purchased a new one.
Some folk are physical & others not so. Guess I was lucky (not for my stubborn independance) as I did lots of sport when young.

That still takes a "quick trick brick stack" to a whole new level...hopefully the one that fell didn't hit him on the bare foot!
"Don't rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby". I think he could have written that song. & he even lifted his foot at the opportune moment without a hazard.
I reckon, with a job like that, his feet would be rocks. As a teen & after playing grass Hockey for 7 years my shins were like steel & my football playing mates thought it a lark to kick my shins without any reaction. My feet, however, were another matter.Quote:
