I Ride: 07 BMW K1200GT

Apparantly the crane lifting this $1.4 million boat had the front strap break dropping it. Notice the guys on the back of the boat riding it down? According to Snopes the photo is real and there are two other photo's just before and after to go with it. See http://www.snopes.com/photos/boats/badlaunch.asp#photo for more info and the other two pics.

I Ride: On the back of my Baby's
The guy on back is hanging on with everything he has. Brings the term jumping ship to mind.

That's what I thought too, until checking the Snopes website and seeing they verified it. I noticed how the sky was a different blue in the midfall photo than the before and after.
