VICTORY KINGPIN USED ON MYTH BUSTERS SHOW
THIS IS A PRETTY COOL VICTORY ARTICLE. I LOVE THE MYTH BUSTERS SHOW AND EXCITED THEY USED A VICTORY IN THE SHOW. IVE SEEN A COUPLE OF VICTORY SHIRTS AND EVEN A VICTORY LEATHER JACKET WORN BY THE CREW. THESE GUYS MUST RID A VICTORY KINGPIN OR HAMMER. EITHER WAY I LOVE WHEN I SEE A VICTORY IN THE SPOT LIGHTS. I WILL RECRD THIS SHW ON MY DVR.
When the team at MythBusters needed a motorcycle and sidecar to test another
myth, they called on Victory Motorcycles for the use of a 2011 Kingpin. The
motorcycle was mated to a custom Motorvation Engineering Spyder sidecar creating
a beautiful and powerful rig ideal for testing a brand new myth: that a bug
strike could fatally injure a motorcyclist. Don’t worry: No bikers were
harmed in the making of this entertaining episode.
The episode, “Bug Special,” debuted Wednesday, December 1, 2010 and is
scheduled to be rebroadcasted on Sunday, December 12.
You can watch a preview of the episode and several
camera angles of the tests HERE.
You'll also see the MythBusters crew discussing the "Bug vs. Biker" myth, and
how they prepare the test equipment. The Kingpin was driven on a closed
course at high speeds so the test instrumentation riding in the sidecar like a
passenger could make contact with a simulated insect.
The Discovery Channel website currently
lists two scheduled rebroadcasts of the episode:
• December 12 at 8 p.m. Eastern
• December 12 at 11 p.m. Eastern
