Mythbusters does motorcycle tablecloth trick NOW!!

I thought it was strange they used an EBRacing bike. They usually cover up any and all logos and brands.

I think Jamie was doing Erik a favor honestly. Erik Buell and I are tight (ok, so we're facebook friends), and he was talking about the episode before it aired.

So it was planned pretty explicitly.

Based on the bike, and custom leathers, I'm guessing Jamie enjoys trackdays and/or road racing. I also wouldn't be surprised if Erik Buell RACING can't sell a street-legal bike without violating their non-compete with HD, so that could also have been why Jamie's 1125R had the track plastics - but why would anyone own a track bike if they didn't use it?

Jamie seems to be able to ride a wheelie, but he can't launch. That was the only plug I've ever seen Myth Busters do, and it was a doozie. I'm wondering if maybe that 1125R was a "gift".

Also, the 1125R costs ~$14,500. The 1125RR will run you ~$41,000. Wowsers!
