The MythBusters' conclusion: "At best, it's a wash. Motorcycles are just as bad for the environment as cars," Savage said on the show. "At worst, they're far worse."

They weren`t very happy about it seeing as they are both motorcycle enthusiasts. I think Jamie rides a Buell.

I wonder what the laws are on something like this.

Is he at fault?

I'm guessing "too fast for conditions" or some other such crap. looks like he got fixated on the line of oil and steered right for it.
