A driver of a tourist bus wanted to play hardball with a rider of a small scooter during a road-rage incident, which presumably took place somewhere in Asia, but in the end, he only managed to make a fool of himself as he forgot to pull the handbrake on his vehicle!

Watch the incident from a dashboard camera of a nearby passenger car in the video that follows after the jump.

If the motorcycle rider seen in this video had hit the women that just passed by or if he had been seriously hurt, it wouldn't have been a matter to laugh at, but given that he seems to okay having suffered only some minor injuries, we can't help but think of the famous British comedian Benny Hill and his hilarious sketches upon watching him hit the gate.

You'll find the video right past the break.

Another day, another motorcycle crash at California's scenic Mulholland Drive. Only this time, the rider of the Kawasaki-colored Suzuki GSX-R motorcycle involved in the accident didn't seem to be speeding, though we can't say with certainty what caused him to lose control of the bike.

As scary as the crash looks when he flipped over the guardrails, the driver didn't suffer any serious injuries as he was able…climbed back up to the road by himself and pick up his motorcycle.

Do the ninja flip over the break to watch the video footage of the crash.

Understandably, in a collision between a motorcycle and a larger vehicle, the biker is the one who gets the raw end of the deal.

However, once in a while, motorcyclists manage to get out unscathed from a potentially deadly situation, like this scooter driver in Asia (if any of our readers now where it took place, add a comment below) who was involved in a crash with a light truck that went through a yellow light.

You can watch the video right after the jump.

Taking a ride out in the forest with your motorcycle can be a very enjoyable and relaxing experience - just as long nobody pops out of the corner… Not as dramatic as this or this motorcycle video but a very close call nevertheless and you can watch it for yourself right after the break.

How do you make the world's fastest motorcycle, the iconic Suzuki Hayabusa, even faster – at least in theory? We assume the more technically inclined will each have a different answer to that question, but for Tony Pandolfo from Orlando, Florida, there's nothing better than a…jet-sourced turbine engine.

To be more precise, the 54-year old engineer fitted the Hayabusa with an AlliedSignal jet fuel starter (JFS) sourced from an early-model F-14 jet fighter! The JFS runs on K2 Kerosene or Jet A fuel and comes complete with an afterburner.

The only official figure released by Pandolfo on his website is the jet starter's peak torque of 300 lb-ft – remember, we're talking about a motorcycle and not a pickup truck…

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Pandoflo told the newspaper that he actually turned the jet unit's power down.

U.S. federal safety regulators have slapped a $3 million (€2.3 million) fine on BMW North America for delays in reporting and not providing enough information on its safety defects and recalls. The fine will be paid into the Treasury Department's General Fund.

Automakers are required by law to notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) within five business days of identifying a safety defect or noncompliance and to promptly conduct a recall.

If you happen to be a European owner of a classic BMW and either prefer to shop original parts directly from the automaker or you need a specific component that can't be found anywhere else, the German company has some good news in store for you.

BMW announced today that it has launched a new online shop dedicated to its classic models offering customers the opportunity to buy parts straight from their computer.

Currently, the BMW Classic Parts website is available only for customers in Germany but the service will be expanded to further European markets in April.

When you are trying to win a tough competition, you should be aware that with great risks come great rewards if you succeed but great pains if you fail.

At the Snowmobile finals during the Winter X Games 2012 that took place in Aspen, Colorado, on Sunday night, we saw a lot of both including the painful crash of Justin Hoyer on a double backflip attempt in the Snowmobile Best Trick competition and the scary free-fall of Colten Moore in the Snowmobile Freestyle event.

However, we also witnessed a truly spectacular front flip from Heath Frisby – the first ever of its kind in an official competition – during the Snowmobile Best Trick finals.

You can take a look at the videos right after the jump, just note that the third clip with Hoyer's accident isn't for the faint-hearted...

If there happens to be an opening for a professional bull rider over at CBR, then the man that tamed motorcycle number 73 at the United Arab Emirates national race series on the Dubai Auto Drome needs only to show this clip to be accepted. Check out the video and you'll see what we mean. Read more »

There's nothing quite like the allure of riding a bike, but as we all know, it is not without its risks even on a paved road, which makes this motorcyclist's attempt to conquer a mountaintop astonishing, to say the least.

We don't know where the ride took place or who had the kahunas to do it, but we'll just say that even watching the biker makes you feel some vertigo… You can check it out for yourself in the video that follows after the break.

You know they say that Chuck Norris is so tough that when he fell off his bike, he broke the road. We can't say whether or not this motorcyclist in Asia (we're not sure about the country) is as tough as Chuck, but he might as well star in one of his movies after what he accomplished here…

Don't believe us? Well then just flip over the jump and land your mouse on the video player button.

A year ago in a track not so far away from here, Nick “Apex” Brocha rode a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10 in a drift war against a Corvette-engined RX-7 with professional racecar driver Jim Guthrie behind its wheel at the Sendia, New Mexico speedway.

That was episode one of the High Planes Drifters video, which proved quite popular on YouTube.

The sequel features Nick, his teammate Ernie Vigil and two Roaring Toyz-tuned Triumph Speed Triples. What the two riders don’t know is that, while they’ve been searching for the perfect stretch of tarmac to perform their sliding stunts, police officer Dan Brockett is out to get them. And his 550HP Mustang Cobra is also capable of going sideways, too.

You can watch the two videos right after the jump.

We have shown you our fair share of motorcycle-related accidents, blunders and fails, so how about a video with a successful outcome for a change?

If anything else, this rider sure knows how to control a motorcycle, though his friends might not be so enthusiastic about his talent. We think most of you will agree once you watch the video after the jump.

Motorcycle accidents are often very severe for the simple reason that there's no buffer zone between the rider and the vehicle (or the road), which makes them all the more terrifying to watch when they're captured on tape.

You can multiply the feeling by about ten when the camera happens to be mounted on the helmet of the motorcyclist involved in the crash…

He's called the 'Skating King of Pakistan', well, at least that's the name given to him by the person that uploaded the video on YouTube, but watching him graciously endanger his own life as well as the lives of everybody else on the road, who are we to disagree?

And just to make it clear, the young man is not simply tagging behind a motorcycle being driven by someone else, but he is actually controlling the bike with a rope of some sort. You can watch him in the video after the break.

Japan's traditional automotive and motorcycle brands aren't the only ones pushing the envelope with their odd concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Kowa, a company that engages in medical and optoelectronic business, and Tmsuk Co. Ltd., a robot development manufacturer, joined forces to create three attention-grabbing electric-powered prototypes under the Kobot brand name.

A guardrail is one of those things that you either never notice or don't really appreciate its existence until it saves your life.

And that it did when the owner of a Kawasaki ZX10R seemingly locked his front brake (we could be wrong, but that looks to be the culprit from the video) while taking a soft corner on Mulhollland Highway near Malibu California and ended up on the ground sliding dangerously towards the canyon.

Follow the break to watch the video for yourself.

In its simplest form, Murphy's Law says that if anything can go wrong, it will. In other words, regardless of how careful you are or how easy the task may seem, there is no such thing as a guarantee of perfect safety.

And one motorcycle stunt rider in Brazil found that out the hard way during a routine show at the Beto Carrero World, which is the largest multi-theme park in Latin America, and is located in the municipality of Penha in Brazil.

It's a very little-known fact, but one of, if not the most famous Toyota sports cars of all time, the late 1960s 2000 GT, was designed and manufactured in collaboration with Yamaha, which is mostly recognized as a maker of motorcycles, marine engines and pianos.

The two Japanese companies are now combining forces once again with a joint display of two concept models at this week's 2011 Tokyo Motor Show to highlight their new collaboration in the development of communications-linked next-generation vehicles.
