Can anyone explain wtf is going on here? 🤔

Wankers in their natural environment.

I wish I knew - seems like a 'rev off' or something you would see at an american 'car show/meet'

[@terega-nui]

Typical at French Moto races in the camping area, people are bringing old motorcycles modified to make noise, fire and smoke. Rednecks are everywhere 😁

Reminds me of The Bog back in the 70s at Watkins Glen, only less destructive - for example, I don't see the crowd here burning a bus...though maybe I missed it...

@@FukU2222 This is basically the motorcycle equivalent of "two-steppin". And yeah, it's something that happens a LOT at car shows and meets. Not too surprising that it happens amongst bikers, too.

If VW made motorbikes that would be the emission test.
