Book/DVD Review: "GOY DVD" - From RoadBike September 2005

Freak Show
GOY DVD

Step right up, step right up, ladies and gentlemen! What you are about to witness is perhaps the single most insane person ever to strap on a helmet and boots!

SEE! Jean-Pierre Goy as he spins, slides, and skids his Beemer around the track. HEAR! the screams and applause of the crowd as he excites the masses with his fearless feats of the fantastic. THRILL! to the death-defying stunts this crazy Frenchman performs with style and aplomb.

GASP! as he laughs in the face of fear, throwing his bike and body into the gaping jaws of doom. HOWL! with glee as he flips, jumps, and turns with reckless abandon, flying through the air and landing on two wheels, all while smiling and waving to the crowd. Headstands, wheelstands, “Look, Ma, no hands!” stuff is what makes him unique, this freak of nature!

MARVEL! at the skill he displays, handling a 1,000-pound motorcycle as if it were a child’s toy. WONDER! at the balance and poise he shows, even as he stares down the chasm of despair. DELIGHT! in the excitement and joy he puts on the faces of those who witness his insane moves. 360s, wheelies, and stoppies are second nature to this clown. IMAGINE! how many motorcycles he’s totaled — and bones he’s broken — just practicing these insane tricks. APPLAUD! the generosity his insurance company (and sponsors) must possess.

Jean-Pierre Goy is a 39-year-old daredevil and stunt rider, and his DVD, simply entitled GOY, puts all his talent (and insanity) in full view. Goy was Pierce Brosnan’s motorcycle stuntman in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, and his performance made him a big star in Europe. Now, BMW is introducing Goy to America. How?

FREE! That’s right, starting August 1, simply go to the BMW motorcycles web site and CLICK! on the proper link. BMW will send you a copy of Jean-Pierre’s DVD — FREE!

The fact that he does these stunts is amazing in itself; that he does them on a BMW K1200LT, the company’s top-of-the-line luxury bike, makes it just plain crazy. Jean-Pierre’s a lot of fun to watch, but like most circuses the show gets old after a while. Still, even I had a hard time looking away. RB
