Found it on the web (it had a Hawk in it) so added it to the forum.
I must admit its just a guy who seems to spend ages puting his gloves on and then just rides off on his Hawk"Life may begin at 40, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 150."

That sucked pretty bad. I don't know why those guys would bother putting their names on that thing. It's literally just a dude taking more than a minute to put his gloves and helmet on, then he just slowly rides through a parking lot.
I was talking to the damn screen trying to get him to do a wheelie or something, but he didn't listen at all.'88 Hawk GT - back in the saddle

I just love exploiting bikes that wheelie easily. It's a rush of adrenaline that I can't help but take advantage of. I pulled maybe 10 wheelies today, just casually flicking the throttle closed and nailing it open again, then riding it down the street for maybe 50 feet. Whenever I see another biker wheelie (which has happened less than 10 times in my lifetime) I get all excited. It's just one of them things. Beats me where it came from.'88 Hawk GT - back in the saddle

Imagine driving down the road on four wheels. Now take two wheels away. It just got better didn't it? Now take one more away.

What makes me laugh is how retro the video is. You can tell this is when the Hawk was new.
It's cool... because it's dumb. Or else I've lived in hipster Brooklyn too damn long, and it really is time to move back to the burbs!1988 "BlackHawk" project

I love that video! If you look close at the very start when he's walking toward the bike, I think he has his pants tightrolled. how cool is that!
What I wouldnt give to see M.C. Hammer in that video...-God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they annoyed me.
