Here's the video to the good stuff. Definitely interesting to see how close they get.

I see the problem, they're using a Buell.

Yea I saw the episode.
They need to Mythbust Hynemin's 3 claims about the Buell he was riding in those scenes.
1) it has 150 hp
2) it has a 9 sec 1/4 mile time
3) it will go 180mph
That should take all of 5 minutes of thier show to bust all of those.
I was laughing my ass off.

You know Buell has jumped the shark when they're on mythbusters....

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If you watch the video closely, at the very end it shows the original BMW video, and if you watch really close, you can see everything on the table oscillate left and a right a little, in perfect unison. Like 4 plates and a vase kinda wiggle side to side, it's so obviously a fake, and the Mythbusters guessed exactly how they did it, they even glued the place settings to the damn plastic sheet over the tablecloth. I think it would have been more convincing if it moved at least a LITTLE.
I mean, even in the first test, the stuff at the far end of the table barely moved, but when you're sliding like 20+ feet of table cloth under something, its going to move, no matter how fast you pull it. When they Mythbusters "cheated" at the end, the place settings moved a least a little, which was much more convincing, especially since they didn't move perfectly in tune to 4 other place settings...
