ROFL!!

[rennerdesigns]

LEO!!! Great Shakedown this week! Don't get me wrong, I love cars, but bikes are not only more thrilling to watch, but are much more thrilling to ride. Hope to see you at Laguna in July- plug it during next weeks Shakedown.

[doctorbrain2]

can you see the green glow around him?

[piuthemagicman]

It's because there's a green background and the animation added later :D

[LOLHICRONO]

rofl @ derek's comments about the mclaren insurance

[shadowmaster285]

Say now, Someone was having fun with those Apple loops. The comedy sounds never get old...

[zanderesqueda]

go team BMW!

[stiqman]

Both were V necks Derek. The argyle was not a crew neck. i think you need to print a retaction.

[Coachramsies]

i lol'd at the end

[MiamiInchez]

Shackdown's Background looks better now.

[ronaldkamphuis2]

lexus makes the best luxury cars !!

[ottomgf]

lol

you can't be serious

[ronaldkamphuis2]

did you see the is-f

[trxspirit]

yes it sucks

[SergePupko]

Bike racing better than car racing? MY ASS!!!

[MsGel]

u r loser

[krudmuphinstudioz]

Burning McLaren... :,(

[tomvcarter]

THE PRESENTER IS A TWAT

[JohnMarineTube]

Here's a note I forgot to mention from my post for this video: Danica Patrick was featured since she's actually accumulated a string of Top 5 finishes. But on Shakedown, you talk about Danica like she's the one always at the bottom of the racing order constantly. She's actually done a good job in my view. Maybe not overbearingly capable, but she's certainly far from being an also-ran. So that's why she's been featured on ESPN/ABC. And as a Danica fan, I'm proud of her this season.

[GeoIsACrazyDude]

Martin scorsaziii!!!!!!

[FerrarisRock]

Bike racing and F1 racing are athletic and Drifting is Soooo fun to watch... i like the car control in racing, thats why its a sport....anyone who thinks drifting is not cool watch ken block gymkhana thats skill

[AlloyDiesel]

Shakedown is really coming together. I like it. Can you cover the KONI challenge? I cant seem to find any video from that series. Car racing will be back when the KONI gets more coverage. Its cars that we know and love. Less downforce. Its what stock car racing used to be...

[eddhedd]

turn down the music volume on the "racing part(?)"

[arabrockerman]

I hope BMW stays on top

I'd still buy Infiniti lolz

[movado18]

Leo, I was very impressed with your insight today. The "shakedown" was an interesting segment. Bring it back

[humanparody12]

The Mercedes looks like a modern day Chevy Nomad.

[vicbel]

Bike racing is great ... true.

I still prefer 4 wheels though. If you want to see GREAT 4-wheel racing check out the WTCC. IMO that is the best 4w racing you can get at the top level.

F1 ... boring (although I love it), NASCAR ... PLEASE!!! IRL ... used to be acceptable but now it is buried under Danica BS.

WTCC  ... check it out.

[entybenty]

yep , WTCC rullz but i like WRC too , beacause thoose rally cars require skill , i mean Loeb won 2008 Race Of Champions ... and he raced drivers like Michael Schumacher or David Coulthard .

[vicbel]

WRC is GREAT too .. but it is a very different kind of racing ... no side-by-side action ... but yes those rally drivers deserve so much more respect than they get. Although Loeb is making it a bit boring. he is just TOO GOOD ala Schumacher.

[acolytegnat]

Shakedown is so true!

[Jirinoshi]

Lol, I love this channel XD

[santosbl01]

Derek rocks!

[LordNisse111]

Dont know why people dont think this guy is funny. Hes like the best

[josh1303]

The girls are gone!

[me2ontube]

he's a good speaker but his humor is on a par with that of an 8 year old at best

[dinankid05]

where are the girl hosts? this guy is not funny at all.

[KSGixxer76]

Motorbike racing is hands down better than any car racing. Leo you really missed out. Last few years Ben Spies and Matt Mladin went at it in AMA Superbike...f'ing amazing races. Ben is the man and will be heading for MotoGP next year, the guys in WSBK don't have the talent to keep up with him.

[XenoRacing]

how come they dont have the female hosts anymore? I remember when Fast Lane daily had good hosts :(

[dex636]

motorbike and motorbike racing is gay and for poelpe who get done up the ass

[fantasypills]

GJ leo

[thepiuma]

can you make subtitles for deaf people? they're useful also for foreign oldies and people at work. Thanks.

[malhaar123]

Mini Roadster sounds like a horrifying atrocity! This McLaren F1 guy, sure is a clever mofo, and Derek nice one getting kissed by two blondes! Respect brother ;-)

[StevenJeNova]

Yeah, superbike races are fun to watch.

Especially 250.

But it ain't F1.

[tunerguy360]

but bike raceing is better then nascar drag raceing dirt tracks and all that other hosier stuff but it fail in comparion to f1 witch fails in comparison to the plane racing

[mikeymike1792]

Do real motosrports! More F1, WRC and most importantly BTCC. No driving in circles for those drivers. They can turn right as well as left

[justdoitfast]

what the hell does bikes have 2 do with cars. i didn't think shakedown could getany worse its crap as can b and get some1 else or get rid of it and make it shorter like Leo. put leo in a crate and send it 2 chaina. come on fld your goin down hill.

[cata893]

I agree!

[psychedelicfunkymonk]

BIG up to Leo for covering some bike action! :D

[piwright42]

Mini roadster=cool. DD be careful that Twitter feed seems to get less intimidated every show. Woots Leo that Shakedown was out of the park! You might be a new fan, but your observation on what makes bike races more dynamic than car races was right on the money. Great show guys.

[pursuitforce]

why was Derek D in a E3 video chasing donkey kong? O_o

[JayBrizzle]

LEO's ShakeDown Coverage of the WSBK & MOTO GP FTW!

[shalvin2611]

your guys quality is sooo awesome

just blows that it takes lil longer then before too load....lol

well this show is the best

[koukicrisp]

I wonder what kind of insurance does he have to buy to insure a 2 million dollar car?

[bottomlayer]

GEICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[epoc102]

is it just me or has f l d terned in to a sausage fest there used to be some eye candy every now and again but now all we get is Derek D some Eugene Levy looking dude and other random radio friendly faces its time to hire some nice bit of fluff for us to look at before we all get "confused" and tern in to germen penguins

[librano]

sausage fest indeed...

[me2ontube]

it's definitely not just you - they must have some magical brainwashing technique to mesmerize these zombie-brained derek d worshippers but ... it ain't a gonna work on me

[stunt10104]

his shirt says fAG,lol

hope james go up in smoke

[mony4uj]

Derek D, you wise guy, protesting the new Super Mario Bros game? Wouldn't want to portray a negative Italian stereotype...

[rennnsymbol]

that irv guy is smart lol mysterious fire YA!

[che996]

you think that utah shit is funny?

i have to put it with it daily .

utah blows.

i need to move back to so-cal.

dopppe show

[ACEkilla17]

mini roadster= DO NOT WANT

[SammySamff1]

Haha the twitter beating has an exit strategy and our own country doesn't!

[lowrthnu92]

how cute Derek D went thru a guido phase LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[magana559]

that last guy sucked ass and was boring as hell

[tripplebackslash]

Another great episode, the Bob Shubin Jr, interlude there made my day...lol

Keep it up!

[ben10Topgear]

thnx for looking at my account comment

i neva thought u would see it lol

[roornc]

sorry DD, but its funny to see pictures of you with blonde spikey hair, I want more.

[mrjost55]

WRC would be good

[tyau1234]

lol Derek D is a MILF hunter

[fobdaddie]

Great show as always.

Just wanted to request something for the next Shakedown: WRC season recap thus far. If possible. That would be awesome.

[lb5254]

Totally agreed with the shakedown. Though im more of fan of F1, Touring cars, and WRC

[obhatti]

Hahahaha Ian! Props for all the hilarious pics of Derek D!!! :P

[two66mhz]

I Think Super Derek D. needs to make a visit to FLD, MUWAHAHAHA

[D0M1N8R1x]

Don't listen to these guys Leo. You rock! Keep them videos coming.

[cobratwinturbo]

im lovin the shake down

[GT4Dfenda]

man , leo , i dont get it , ihave watched motorcycle racing , how can you find it more entertaining? thats just stupid!!

[t0k1d0k1eighty8]

i actually enjoy shakedown, its just the voice of the presenter that's off-putting. he's got the knowledge and all but he sounds like someone who's got something stuck in his throat.

[butsty]

thank god i can fast forward Shake Down

[thatonegy13]

i love how you can see the greenscreen around his head and arms

[bliglum]

OH so that's why my insurance premiums are so high.. THANKS ALOT IRV!!!!

[DoggyDaTroof]

I also enjoy hillclimb as one of the most exciting racing

[DoggyDaTroof]

Take out some driver ades so car control is more in the drivers hands and also so we can see which cars actually has better geometry.

[ztunelover]

drifting is not that exciting but rallying is nuts in how sweet it is. yes right now the bikes are just absolutely exciting. motor racing, exciting to participate, not so much to work. nice shakedown leo.

[apexi957]

Drifting is exciting if you been to the events. I love rally and would love to go to a event, but to bad none of the action happens in Georgia.

[ztunelover]

which i have. drifting is okay. i honestly dont consider that a true motorsport, but more of a fun way to kill time. then again i am biased towards f1 and other events like that. so i dunno thats my opinion. drifting is fun, its fun to watch, but honestly not motorsports according to me.

[apexi957]

Hah I can respect that, but if you say drifting isn't a true motorsport then what is Nascar? lol

[Can101276]

Shake down sucks!!!!!!!!!

Im gonna unsubscribe, if you play it again!!!!!

[therealdvpringle]

Adios, motherfucker.

[spencerleeb]

i'm from minnesota and i have to say that is probibly the worst way possible for us to be represented. I feel that us minnesotans should crawl in a hole and now be shuned from the car world

[sonikko]

Hrozney buzík tentokrát ;)

[D1sepuku]

Mercedes suck

[ShinWR1]

I'm sorry but the shake down guy sounds like he has a sore throat and bore me to death. D makes it interesting not like the professor.

[ivonatinkle08]

agreed. takedown the shakedown.

[R6VIIshooter]

i don't think you'd sacrifice a ultra rare mclaren for $1million

[pyromaster55]

you want excitement in racing, WRC or drifting, both are super exciting.

[RXTRUX1]

Best racing is on the salt.

[adj789]

they need to include rally info in the shakedown

[juancarrillo001]

hell yeah...

[cipkid9]

yea i agree rally info would be a interesting thing to have

[JDM205]

Mate, you are soooooo wrong when it comes to the best motor sport! hands down its the WRC, you have to have the reactions of a F1 driver but also be able to combine the skills of driving on gravel, tramac, snow, ice etc.

Hands down WRC wins!

[juancarrillo001]

THANK YOU!!!..

i think the same thing

[Maserati7200]

WHAT?! What kind of bastard allows a McLaren F1 to burn?!

>:(

[Aznzzboi]

a bastard who wants a mclaren f1 to burn =P

[LeoParente]

I see you subscribe to Top Gear, as well.

What do you do / think when TG covers racing? If THEY pass your 'sniff' test' on racing, should I just adopt an English accent to please you?

BTW- I AM as short as the Hamster.

Cheers back @ ya!

[invisibleboff]

You see correctly,

TG don't cover racing, they leave it to other shows, subscribe and then you'd know that.

BTW, I like racing and especially rally so why not have your own show,

Also I'm in Italy and don't really understand what accent you have, sorry.

if you were having a "the glass is full and not empty" day, you would be as tall as the Hamster;)

cheers & ciao!

[hockeythug9]

They talk about F1 a little, just not in depth or all that often,....

[invisibleboff]

Dear Leo & FLD, as you think it's funny to "prendere mi in giro" due to my lack of understanding of your "sniff" terms

I've decided to un-subscribe

now you can take fun of other non madrelingua english speakers not me, Vada via al cul!!

[LeoParente]

WHAT are you talking about? Never was trying to make fun of you. Sorry if you thought that.

Subscribe or UNsub, as you see fit, however.

[ProSnipeSluggaX20A]

ohh man...the mclaren f1...that news just ruined my day...

[MrTlTO]

Race bike drivers have balls of steel and who knows what else.

[andrezor24]

stop wearing that gay ass white belt

[metaleggman18]

Ooh, 12 months? Shit that's a horrible idea.

[itwillbuffout]

**** some thoughts on Shakedown *** That music loop has got to go. Interesting stuff, but please cut in half and change the music. And congrats on the 600-and-counting episodes. I've been watching for over a year & it keeps getting better. Where's Allen K been?

[USCtrojans26]

you cant love cars without loving racing and you cant love racing without loving shakedown, especially today!

[campasini]

i could not agree more with leo.

[mynameisnotalfredo]

This was really a good episode. Honestly, one of the best. Incidentally, you should move to Utah because it would be so cheap to run; it'd be a great move.

[larssonk22]

I see where you at ...nice

[hyboi86]

If you;re looking for some exciting 4 wheeled action, watch the Aussie V8supercars. I think you would enjoy it Leo!!

[LeoParente]

10-4. And the Aussie graphics are pretty awesome, too.

A sedan racing look may be in order. Aussie V8SC v WTCC v DTM v ....NASCAR?

Is it still primarily Ford v Holden?

[hyboi86]

It is still Ford and Holden. But we have some big European Teams in the show now, 888 engineering and prodice just to name some. Be good if you could do an update everynow and again.

[jtlovett27]

No offense to nascar fans but Nascar doesnt do Auto Motor sports any justice at all..he coulda compared it to Lemans or F1 Racing

[l2iya]

guys on your shake down section ! the background theme song is sort of not on tha back ground and too loud ! plus this parente the suit guy talks too fast ! so better have a slower song and a bit turn the sound down ! then we can focus on what he`s saying

thank you

[Ji99i3]

like the new background!

[jasamappa]

HAHAHAHHA I laughed my ass off when I saw derek with the yellow hair

[gkougianos]

This was the first week I really enjoyed the "Shakedown" segment...nice!

[lostaznking]

BMW FTW YES!!!

Mercedes too....

and I'm not a die-hard Audi fan, in fact i used to hate them but i kinda want them to win to

aww screw it GERMANY FTW =D

[jucajuca92]

that mini 2 seater looks awsome, finally they came up with a nice design, the clubman isnt nice at all, and i think its very unpractical, besides, why would you want a mini, that isnt mini??

next time you notice they'll be sellingSUV's, but anyway, the traditional mini, the mini S, and the 2 seater, are great cars!

[Av3rnus]

That mini is horrible. Why can't the just leave a bad thing alone...

[joncoppola28]

>>>that two seater looks pretty lame yesm but the original mini is pretty bad ass...mostly b/c its a classic and there's a lot of history behind it, its actually cool to drive, hehehe

now if only i can fit in the damn thing

[champ1193]

i hate shakedown

[bottomlayer]

The E36 318ti is just a fun fun lil car

especially with the canvas roof

Daimler offered a four-cylinder as recently as 5 years ago!!!

[cusinndzl]

I have been watching fast lane daily since episode 173 how about you?

[againat5]

Lol forget the news right now. Derek D as Mario was freaking hilarious. How about you do an episode with your buddy Luigi. Aight mr D stop twitting around with that twitter.

[bottomlayer]

Mercedes-Benz (B-Class), BMW (Mini line), and Acura (CSX,TSX, RDX) are the only luxury brands that offer four cylinder engines

Some people like all the features but still want good fuel economy. I think if Honda brought the CSX down here and if Mercedes sold the B-Class in the US, they would do MUCH BETTER!!!!!!

Lexus is the only luxury brand to have NEVER EVER offered a four-cylinder engine! This from the people that brought us the Prius! Shame shame SHAME

[bottomlayer]

oops my bad

forgot Audi

[JohnMarineTube]

Coppin' mad styles again, FLD? Cool! I love Lexus and BMW. Good for Bavarian Motor Works. Now the Mini is just getting milked like Hummers. Heaven forbid, I love Minis, but you don't screw with the classic Mini to that extreme. I don't dig that 3-door Fascination deal. Couldn't Mercedes-Benz make it like a wider A169? I am not a daredevil, but that Jesse James stuff is crazy! I love the McLaren F1. Sad to see that one burst into flames. SBK and MotoGP are both awesome. Another great show!

[NYdave1]

i just watched derek ds e3 mario vid was hilarious

[M2992]

The casual Derek D.

[doggiepowers]

LEO! you have to admit that Force's daughter is smokin hot though hahaha

[comedicd]

i second that!

[AMDfanb0y]

BMW destroys Lexus. YAY!

[17drw]

the new mini sucks. looks ugly compared to the original.

[KiTTGTR]

"HEY bout' it" thing that Derek is doing is hilarious. Good job. The insured mclared was real nice too, keep it commin' :)

[TBustah]

I guess America finally realized that Lexus cars are just Toyotas with huge chips on their shoulders. :)

[GymProv]

LOL well much of the line is Camry based. The RX is a AWD Camry wagon. The eS & GS are both glorified Camrys. Not that the Camry is a bad car, but way pay $15,000 more for one. I'll take the BMW, thanks.

[lemons17771]

have you ever been in a lexus? they are a lot nicer than toyotas with suspension, leather, wood, engine, and look changes. really the toyotas are the over priced ones

[harrispablo]

lexus is the elite version of toyota.. just a fyi

[lemons17771]

yes i know but the top toyota is the same price as the cheap lexus, but yet the lexus is nicer.

[GymProv]

Yes, I've been in a Lexus, and driven them. The ES, GS & RX are the same front drive engineered car as the Camry. You're right. It's a Camry with $15,000 worth of burlwood. WOW! I'd rater buy the well engineered car that isn't just a spruced up version of their econo hauler.

[MagicalMrSkylar]

maybe toyotas are dumbed down luxury cars.

[TBustah]

Hey DD, was that you in that E3 thing?

Funny stuff, man.

[comedicd]

sure was

[apricotsnms516]

well id love to see the vid but the utah part is to depressing its totally like that here its like oh its so beautiful then you turn around... i happily live in the cleanest part of utah but now they want to build a coal fired power plant here hopefully obama can do something soon

[uflnuceng]

At first, I wasn't 100% sure about FLD Shakedown... to be honest, I use to skip over it, but Leo... your input is quite inciteful and although I think I would rather take a high heel to the croch than watch bike racing, you make a compelling point about modern race car areodynamics washing out driving talent. Bravo. Keep up the good work.

[winekrush]

lol, your shirt says "fag" Time to fire some wardrobe people.

[0oziyado0]

Careful Derek, twitter might kill you someday.

[irish202]

great ending :D lol

[Mknives]

Isnt the bio chemical waist disposal place in Wyoming? eh well close enough.

[sjbdeebo2]

waste*

[topski100]

why did ya have to state the bleedin bloody obvious, and whats an american doing with one of those

[engleshen]

Derek sounds funnier on HQ :D

[simplecrs13]

The guy on Shakedown moves while he is talking he looks like an idiot

[therealdvpringle]

And you play Halo 3 in your mom's basement instead of having a girlfriend. What's your point?

[piuthemagicman]

Rear Wheel Drive Mini that's cool :)

[xilverdragon]

daaamnnnn that mclaren!! it hurts seeing that!!

[leronv79]

Does Leo own a jacket that fits?

[SearchFindNowMine]

Lower that twitter feeds self esteem. Its a BITCH anyway. LMAO.

[Colleptic]

I agree with the bikes; even though I do not own one, or ride one. Recently, I have been randomly watching bike racing and WOW! So much action, passing, danger, speed and the races are short, which means sometimes there is more than one.

I love the 24 hour races, but they only happen a few times a year, the rest or those series are entertaining, but nothing like the bikes!

[carsismeZ06]

Down the street from the facility eh? Is that why you seem to be glowing green?

[comedicd]

exactly!

[carsismeZ06]

You should probably take a shower...or nine, just to be sure.

[sspope]

No surprise BMW pwned Lexus. They simply make better cars.

[bottomlayer]

no they don't

You can't even check your oil on a BMW!!!!!!!!!

[sspope]

Big Deal!

btw. what model?

[bottomlayer]

I think all of them, except the M3

It's funny how they call it the "ultimate driving machine" yet they can't trust their owners to check the oil. Instead, they have this goofy sensor that just says "ADD OIL" when it gets low. However, it would just go off randomly, so people were adding oil when they shouldn't have

The reason BMW did this is because they "don't want people fucking around under the hood"
