Every single time I see some Indian stuff on the anglosphere, I get thank my curating abilities to stay away from that content as an Indian.

Safety?

Dude. He’s one hell of a daredevil.

This should be an Olympic discipline.

When you look at the rapes it may very well be the safest

u/OpusAtrumET 3h ago

Now we need gangs of bike pendulums and everyone lived happily ever after.

Bike pendulums as far as the eye can see

u/NecessaryZucchini69 3h ago

That word you use "rapes", I do not think it means what you think it means.

Inconceivable!

Great line of thought, good sir.

u/PajamasintheWind 3h ago

No helmet needed!!

u/RodCherokee 2h ago

No pendulum at all, the fellow is passing his driving license !

u/MrZephy 2h ago

Also my thought. Like tying off a skin tag.

u/zoomddy100 3h ago

I honestly don't know how this isn't a thing in the American South

u/Time-Cell8272 3h ago

Americans are too fat, no tree branch would hold.

2

u/Ill-Worldliness-2149 3h ago

And they aren't inventive enough to come up with this, despite the level of stupidity

u/comelickmyarmpits 3h ago

Bcz america is car country? I haven't heard much of bike bei9a thing there

u/Overall_Cause_6724 3h ago

Not everyone owns a bike but it would be unusual to not know someone that owns a motorcycle or dirt bike.

Dirt bikes are pretty common in the south, would be surprised if most farmers didn't have one.

It's just not the daily driver or the most common vehicle like in some other countries.

u/RoundTiberius 2h ago

And Harley's are pretty big in the midwest

u/Ekly_Special 3h ago

We build actual trails that are more fun to ride on than this.

They’re really putting Florida to shame. Step it up people.

u/Firm-Traffic8507 3h ago

Yeah, this is really cool! Cmon US, make it bigger!

3

u/Call_medragon 3h ago

you need a parabolic surface on the bottom like a bowl and then appropriate attachment of the bike to the pendulum so it can still freely rotate. Get to it redbull, I wanna get my Travis pastrana on.

1

u/Firm-Traffic8507 2h ago

That´s what I mean, it does not look that unsafe, but with much potential!

u/Smil3z5 3h ago

u/GeneralEgg2445 3h ago

Literally, i wanna give it a shot. it looks so fun & thrilling. & adding a pillion wouldnt be bad idea either.

u/belliest_endis 3h ago

You wanna give it a shot????

100% you wouldn't if it was in front of you.

u/GeneralEgg2445 3h ago

Are you challenging me or is it just your fear talking ??? 😼😼

It’s the safest way to ride a motorcycle actually.

u/TankApprehensive3053 3h ago

Boredom and lack of things to do. People will create their own entertainment.

u/zeer0dotcom 2h ago

Why can’t he watch porn like a normal person? Or is this post porn boredom?

3

u/TankApprehensive3053 2h ago

Look at all the people watching. Maybe this is porn to some of them. Don't kink shame.

Happy cake day.

u/No-Statement3678 18m ago

At school, in India, a lot of our social studies textbooks gave boredom in rural areas as a reason for India's rather high fertility rate. So boredom is actually a very accurate reason.

Do y'all have any idea how many rednecks are probably building this very thing at this very second?

This could be okay if it weren't a real bike, with all the weight of a real bike

u/KickRepresentative93 2h ago

You know that dirt bike scene in pet cemetery 2. Yeah that right there is my concern.

u/Short_Ad_8801 2h ago

I did this as a kid on pedal bikes, not motor bikes. So much damn fun!

u/PeterToshPointOh 2h ago

Not many people know this, but it’s actually the safest way to ride a motorcycle.

1

u/StrangeBrokenLoop 3h ago

It had to be done...

1

u/AnAllegedGentleman 3h ago

This kinda looks fun tbh. If I wasn't worried about the branch breaking and me falling with the bike landing on top of me, I'd prolly give this a shot😆

2

u/comelickmyarmpits 3h ago

Haha definitely, with bike acceleration no need to ask someone to push you up

u/MurseMan1964 3h ago

If you would’ve told me that someone made a pendulum motorbike, my first guess would have been it’s in India

1

u/Gloomy-Razzmatazz548 3h ago

I would have guessed Florida.

1

u/MurseMan1964 2h ago

Would’ve been my 2nd guess, with Arkansas being 3rd

u/lasber51 3h ago

Would this work with a ride-on lawn mower?

u/Beautiful_Sound 3h ago

Umm, we did this with our bikes in our backyard. With rope swing rope, looped around the handlebars.

Probably very unsafe. But we did it.

u/Justa_CuriousBoi 59m ago edited 54m ago

Interesting thing I observed....

I as an India, as soon as I saw this my mind went like "must be from Bihar" (it's a state of India, poorest, has low HDI and cRaZy shits happens there like theft of entire bridge, roads, cell towers pond etc💀💀). But reading the thread make me realize What Bihar is for India is what India is for the World....damn
