Transcript:
Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, built a 78 foot long motorcycle capable of going 35 mph in his mother's backyard! Lucky catch! September 2011, Christian Herbert of Abbeville, LA, USA, caught a 41 inch red fish with black spots on its tail forming the number 13! The 6 foot long neck of a giraffe weighs about 600 pounds!

If he (et. al.) is going 35 MPH, his mother must have a big back yard.

I’m six feet long and I weigh one quarter of that weight. I’m not THAT thin. What does the giraffe have in its neck that weighs so much? That weighs on my mind!

I wonder how fast it goes on the open road.

Giraffes really stick their necks out far! Isn’t that fish kind of unlucky? Unlucky to be caught that is.

Poor wording. Does it mean he built it in his mothers back yard, or that it did 35 in his mothers back yard?

I’m thinking that the commentator meant that the motorcylce was built in his mother’s back yard and is capable of going 35 mph on the road.

Everyone beat me to the comments I was going to make on the motorcycle’s capabilities. And yes, teddyr, we are perfectly aware what was intended, but the poor phrasing still makes us chuckle!

That cycle would be helpless on our roads. There is a Ry grade crossing that a limo got hung up on because of its long wheel-base. (It moved when the loco hit it though)
