Bobby Petrino’s Motorcycle Might Be For Sale (Yes, the One He Wrecked with Jessica Dorrell that Ended Up Costing Him His Job) [UPDATE]

All, Blithering Idiots, College Football Jason McIntyre May 9th. 2012, 11:43am

Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle that he crashed in April with colleague Jessica Dorrell – the hog that ultimately cost him his job and probably his marriage, too – might be for sale. We say might because it is still unconfirmed that this motorcycle for sale on Copart actually belonged to Petrino. A reader tipped us off to it this morning, and we called the company, which said it won’t talk about sellers. But as the reader points out, the motorcycle looks a lot like the one that Petrino wrecked.

Is this an OK time to link up the Motorcycle model Petrino was also texting? Felt appropriate. [H/T @ArkBadger]

[UPDATE: Arkansas 360 has confirmed the motorcycle indeed belongs to Petrino.]

I’ll admit it, I don’t see the appeal of motorcycles. I would never want to own one.

I’d like a Lisk post that empirically gives us a measure of the Blithering Idiots tag compared to the Idiots tag. Are the idiots just replacement level idiots? Blithering idiots the elite talents? I need this broken down for me. Preferably with a colored chart. MAYBE EVEN A PIE CHART.

this.
also, the little bug shield on the front of the motorcycle is horrible looking. were there any NHL badasses that wore a visor while wrecking faces? because id like to think you can’t be badass if you employ a thin shield of plastic in some fashion.
and if you’re not going to look like a badass, what’s the point of a motorcycle? please don’t tell me transportation.

If I lived in a city like Paris I’d have one for sure as you can park them anywhere and never pay for it. You can also weave in and out of cars on the interstate without worrying about cops pulling you over.

exactly. I can see why people would like them, but I don’t trust other people on the road when I am in my truck, no way I am taking away any kind of protection I have around me for when the bitch next to me putting makeup on while she’s going 50 in a 35 can run over me.

Bikes are easily maneuverable, good on gas, easy to park, cheaper to maintain. If you’re just looking to go from one place to another without a lot of cargo, bikes are a good investment. Also, if you’re a real selfish son of a bitch, you can own a bike and not a car and NEVER have to drive anyone anywhere.

Also very dangerous to drive in a urban setting. People who drive their motorcycles in the city baffle me. Just asking to get clipped by a bad city driver. Especially on some of the meat grater bridges down in the loop.

On the flip side, I can absolutely see why you’d own one in Manhattan. All these double parked trucks and hesitating drivers. If you know exactly where you’re going, and aren’t completely incompetent, you’d kick the shit out of traffic on a bike.

I once almost got a DUI on a scooter when i was 18 on senior trip in Myrtle Beach. Thank God, i got lucky and was able to somehow produce to the cop the helmet that was under the seat and he only gave me a ticket for not wearing a helmet. It was pure luck considering the scooter wasn’t even mine. Fun times.

When stopped, it’s proven safer fro motorcyclists to move to the front of the line of cars as they’re not protected from rear impacts, so i’ve got no issue with them moving up between cars at a light.

I’m used to this now….but the first time I went out to Cali and people were doing this shit, I thought they were insane.
What I really have an issue with are the idiots doing 130 mph down the freeway popping wheelies and shit. No sympathy for those guys when they dump their bike.

I understand the appeal of motorcycles; I’ve test driven a couple. Might even think of owning one someday. However, I don’t trust other drivers as it is when I drive a car. People are just way too wrapped up in everything other than getting to where they are going safely. I can’t imagine riding a motorcycle regularly with the shit heads that I encounter on the road on a daily basis.
