Top Gear USA S04E05

Top Gear USA S04E05

Top Gear USA has gone two-wheeling as the boys trying to attend the annual festival dedicated for bikers at Sturgis, South Dakota. The winner will send to a duel between a sportbike and an Ariel Atom while the loser gets shipped to a very dangerous stunt.

It's an unpleasant start because Adam, Tanner, and Rut began with boring mopeds and if whoever finished the first challenge, swaps their moped to a quicker Yamaha V-Star motorcycle. Here's the catch; two will get, one will leave in a moped. The first challenge involves riding stability by maneuvering through the corners without getting spilled. With Rut out because of his recklessness, only Adam and Tanner are permitted to ride the Yamaha motorbikes.

In the second challenge, only two of the presenters will swap their Yamahas to their Harley-Davidson bikes, which is faster. This challenge involves its cornering ability. However, the twist is whoever crossed first, loses. With Adam crossed the line first, both Tanner and Rut swapped to Harley bikes.

Having managed to crossed through Sturgis Bike Week, the boys are dressed for the occasion and all they have to do is they only have 15 minutes to get through the festival without causing too much of a ruckus, especially while carrying members of the band Sweet Cyanide. Sadly, Rut's making a ruckus while Adam and Tanner crossing through the finish line just before the soundcheck. With Rut claimed that Adam cheated because of the sidecar attempt, Adam will face a terrible consequence while as for Tanner...

Tanner Foust pits a duel between an Attack Performance sports bike vs. the Top Gear favorite, the lightweight Ariel Atom. Like speed? Get this...

Ariel Atom

The race between the bike and the Atom at the Auto Club Speedway road course and this duel is definitely worth noticing because once again, it's Tanner vs. biker. Tanner never lost against a biker but will his honor retained? I think that's a no. Although, the Atom has a stronger power-to-weight ratio than a Veyron, the sportbike still has the upper edge. Well, here we are...his first loss.

Meanwhile, the episode ends with Adam Ferrera blown up in a Volvo rigged with some explosives. Despite explosions, Adam cheated death and in general, it was American Daredevil Mr. Dizzy survived the blast.
