So, Grady, is this guy available for hire? Will you show us the "unloading" video?

In my experience (backpacking, canoeing, putting motorcycles on a trailer or in a truck, walking with arthritis, etc.), the descents are more difficult than the climbs.

Thanks for sharing - it was incredible and did not seem to be digitally enhanced.

I wouldn't even venture a guess as to how the bike would be unloaded, except that maybe the same way it was loaded.

When I see things like this, I'm amazed at human ingenuity and I really believe that the Egyptians somehow managed to build the pyramids without the help of space aliens.

I call fake on that one, no way he could support a bike like that on his head, even without climbing a ladder.

Good one Grady.

Saw this on the Triumphrat Forum.

I'm waiting to see him take it back off.

I was thinking the same thing, I was reading through the comments and a few people from India said it's cheaper to transport the bike on a bus than it would be to ride it, and since people are so economical there, they probably chose that route.


As for it being fake, I doubt it, that bike doesn't look like it's bigger than 125cc. just a very strong man.
