I would wager that Punchbowl_Trent is actually Australian. After browsing through his comment history,it appears he frequently coments in /r/Australia as well as having first hand knowledge of the country. Or, he is a British guy who just really likes Australia.

In america they are called speed bumps, when I lived in England I would laugh when I heard people talking about "speed humps" until I figured out they weren't talking about high-speed sex.

I don't know what to tell you, and Wikipedia agrees.

Wtf was that guy doing? Signaling that his bike wouldn't start? Or just showing off?

[–]Gorignak 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He was signalling that he wasn't moving, so the guys behind him wouldn't do exactly what they did.

[–]bsilver 30 points31 points ago

To be fair, he wasn't run over until he stopped signaling.

That's a cruel joke. But I still laughed.

You funny asshole. I too upvoted you.

At one point, he did raise both hands to signal!

[–]ChinupBar 1 point2 points ago

I've taken an official bike racing course at a race track. Technically, he's signalling that he's in distress and that others behind him should see that and safely pass. In his specific case, it would be a sudden loss of engine power.

At the start of the grid, riders are to get in 1st gear, rev their engines at approx. 7K? rpm, ride the clutch, watch the flag, release clutch and roll off on their throttle (right hand). It must have been at this moment that his engine cuts of power. And thus, him raising his right hand and the bike slowly moves forward.

It's unfortunate that he got clipped by a rider (who also took a tumble as you can see in a frame), which cascaded into a disastrous situation.

Not really: google the name "Rob Dages". Read the article "Roadracing World Breaking News". No-one was killed/cut in half, etc. VanWhistler-->3 years ago
