Poor Scott.
This is the third time his KTM has broken down.
And the second time he has been towed home.
Last time?
A Japanese motorbike.
Every Japanese motorbike has its day!
Sir, do you have any comments about European reliability?
No!
How much better are European motorbikes than Japanese motorbikes?
It's those damned Italians.
We don't know what happened but it looks serious.
Thankfully Scott has a choice of two exceptional French motorbikes to tow him back.
A Sherco 250SE or a 300SE.
What a terrible day for Austria.
The KTM has broken down yet again!
Oh the calamity.
The humanity.
The pumpkin, she is broken.
It is another good day for France!
I know the perfect gift for Scott.
The perfect Christmas present!
How to push your pumpkin.
How to tow your pumpkin.
And how to make a fraudulent insurance claim on your pumkpin.
We have a training video about towing motorbikes.
Here is a quick overview.
I don't know how safe this is.
But your other option is to loop the rope around and stand on the rope.
The moment you take your foot off, the rope releases if you have an emergency.
You want to attach the rope centrally so it won't affect the steering.
You can bring the rope across and hold it with your hand.
If you let your hand go, the rope automatically releases.
The key with this technique is to avoid the rope touching the rear tyre.
It probably won't be a big issue anyway.
Scott is riding slightly toward the right of centre.
This makes it a bit easier.
Jeff is riding very smoothly.
He's probably slipping the clutch a bit.
Scott will probably use the brakes if needed.
You need to keep tension on that rope.
So how much money do I owe you... to delete this video?
This never happened!
$300 and I will delete this video.
Is that just the first hour?
Maybe.
We have prepared a short training video about dealing with hurt feelings.
Lie down.
Try not to cry.
Cry a lot.
Poor old Scott.
He said this is the third time he has been towed within five years.
The rest of us?
Not a single motorbike towed.
But I must admit the old KTM 200EXC is quite an old motorbike now.
Downhill.
You can see Scott applies his brakes lightly to keep tension on the rope.
Once you have 'slack' in the rope you can get jerked off the motorbike.
A lefthand corner.
Scott needs to go reasonably wide so the rope does not hit the rear tyre.
If you give me $200 I will take that motorbike off your hands.
I will swap it for your Sherco.
But you have to pay for delivery.
I'll give you $300.
