This works on so many levels here, I couldn't

In summary, the conversation is about a video where a man's face contorts in a funny way while driving a Hyundai. The participants discuss their own experiences of making funny faces while riding motorcycles, and one of them compares it to the feeling of falling off a cliff like in a cartoon.

OMG, his last face expression :smile:

C'mon Ivan. My face can't contort like that, though there have been times on some of my bikes that I have felt my cheeks rippling. Breaking triple-digits with no windshield can do that.

That dude must have been on some pretty serious drugs; there's no way that a Hyundai alone could evoke any sort of response.

How do you know? :biggrin:

No doubt I've made some funny faces a few times. In particulars what comes to mind are those slow-motion moments that occur between the time when you know you are unavoidably going down, but before you hit the ground, on a motorcycle - those times when you have the time to think about how much this is going to hurt!

That always made me feel like Wiley Coyote going off of a cliff. The feet drop, then there's that look of "oh ****", then the rest kind of stretches out and leaves the ears behind.
