Video: Colin Furze does motorcycle pizza delivery justice

Among the many triumphs of Furze’s eponymous YouTube channel, a couple of months ago he made a two-wheeled pizza-delivery vehicle to rule them all.

Apart from being an excellent 18 minutes of video as a whole, there are plenty of bits for a motorcyclist to like. Saving the old two-stroke Suzuki that he used to power his mobile pizza oven instead of butchering it has got to be at the top of the list, what a sweet move. The bike (a T500, perhaps?) is probably worse for wear but at least it’s not languishing in the back of some geezer’s garage waiting for a leg to kick it over.

Are there better motorcycles to use for something like this? Quieter, smoother machines that might make more sense? Absolutely, which is why the Titan was a terrific choice. Just as smokey and obnoxious as a pizza oven mounted to a motorbike. The fact that his test ride included spinning lazy donuts in a grassy clearing is great, too, and with his feet up. Some good ol’ fashioned redneck fun, and skill, on display.

My colleague Ari and I have mixed food and bikes a couple of times in the past. Once, delivering pre-made pizzas on fast motorcycles — and boy did Mr. Furze put us to shame with his invention. Another time, we rode across northern Thailand and sold hamburgers out of a scooter with a sidecar, which is also not as good an idea as the Pizza Dough-Moto.

Others here on Common Tread have dabbled, too. From the folks who put together the Ural sidecar with a coffee station on board, to our contributor who experimented with using a motorcycle to deliver food via app-based services. Colin Furze, as usual, is on a whole different level — from his mechanical acumen to fabrication skills. If you’re not one of the nearly 13 million people who already frequent his channel, buckle up.
