#WeekendAwesome

Can’t make it to Austin for this weekend’s races at Circuit of the Americas? If you can’t catch the MotoGP and MotoAmerica action, then at least you can experience a lap of the COTA circuit on a BMW S1000RR in this 360° video from GoPro.

We’re now well into the spring but that didn’t stop multiple-time FIM Trial World Champion Toni Bou from taking his Repsol Honda Montesa Cota 4RT out for a spin in the snow.

Army veteran Brandon Jenkins was just minding his own business, waiting for the lights to change when a man ran up from behind and tried to pull him off of his Suzuki GSX-R600. He didn’t know at the time, but the man was fleeing from police for an alleged hit-and-run. Jenkins quickly assessed the situation and fought back as his assailant tried to steal his bike.

This week’s video features Revol Gerungan and his golden retriever, Sydney. Or rather, Sydney and his pillion passenger, Revol. Sydney appears to be taking Gerungan out for a spin through the streets of Manado, Indonesia, much to the delight of onlookers.

For this week’s video, we present AJ Heinicke, a 7-year-old stunt rider from San Mateo, CA. Heinicke, who performs under the name AJ Stuntz, has been learning from stunt rider Jason Pullen‘s team.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re big fans of ice racing motorcycles here on MO. For this week’s video, we offer stunt rider Lee Stuart from Winnipeg, Canada, drifting his Harley-Davidson Dyna on ice and snow.

Last year’s Jurassic World successfully revived the dormant Jurassic Park film franchise, raking in $1.6 billion at the box office. MOrons would appreciate the motorcycle scene where the character Owen Grady (played by Chris Pratt) led a pack of velociraptors on his Triumph Scrambler.

This week’s video is yet another take on the motorcycle versus car race, but with one catch: neither competitor is old enough to go to school yet. Introducing the motorcycle-riding Tima Kuleshov (2 years old at the time of filming last fall) and kart driver Makar Zheleznyak (4 years old).

The 2016 AMA Supercross season kicks off tonight, so for this week’s video, we take a look back to the 1978 Super Bowl of Motocross featuring an epic battle between Yamaha’s Bob “Hurricane” Hannah and Mike “Too Tall” Bell. Enjoy!

It’s a new year and that means it’s time for the world’s best known rally race: Dakar! The race kicks off Jan. 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, making it the perfect subject for this week’s video.

You’d be forgiven if you thought this week’s clip was from a video game. But no, this footage is, in fact, from a real chase scene with a South African police in pursuit of a fleeing car. The chase begins at about the 1:50 mark when the motorcycle-riding officer spots the suspects in a red BMW 5-series. The officer then flips on his siren and guns the throttle on his BMW F800. It doesn’t take long before he gets close – and then draws his gun, firing several shots at the car!

No adorable animals for this week’s video, no cute kids, no wild stunts, no viral marketing gimmicks and no funny gags. Just a motorcycle ride through one of the most beautiful cities in the world: Paris.

Meet Vito, YouTuber Waterskizone‘s pet parrot and favorite riding buddy. The blue-and-yellow macaw likes to fly along when his Greek owner rides, as we can see from the videos below.

If you’re reading this, it’s probably already too late to get a costume for Halloween. But if you want to get a good start on next year, here’s one idea:

A motorcyclist in Oklahoma made headlines around the world this week after rescuing a kitten that somehow found itself stuck in an intersection. The woman, identified only as Laney, filmed the whole incident with her GoPro, and the video has already been seen 2.6 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded on Monday.
