The only thing I can see wrong is the fact that that video has got to be the most boring thing ever - are people really going to watch that for pleasure?
It doesn't even show the outside of the bus - I am presuming that the bus is the "star" of the show? ..... or perhaps really and truely they are all perverts and it is actually a video of that cyclist's bottom!?
Well, to you and I (if we were bus enthusiasts), the bus might be the star yes. In fact I have spent happy afternoons at vintage rallies admiring grand old vehicles of all sorts and I've even enjoyed a ride on a vintage bus laid on for a model exhibition - it's just a bit different... But, as in any enthusiasm, there are some real headcases. My late partner was involved in railway restoration (he was quite sane, really, he was in the engineering side of it), and told stories of people travelling on steam trains and collecting samples of soot from the funnel to keep in albums... Or making recordings of diesels pulling a load up certain inclines...
I suppose a lot of them would see the whole campag/shimano debate (for example) as about as dull and meaningless as I do....
That said, I once sat through a talk, illustrated with slides, about a chap stripping and rebuilding a recumbent. At the point at which we realised we were looking at a pic of a chain soaking in Gunk, some of us decided we'd gone too far...
