History Main / MotorcycleJousting

DoNotTryThisAtHome unless you are on a closed stunt course ''and'' are trained in stunt riding ''and'' are either left-handed or have a modified brake. Waving or pointing an object, especially if you're right-handed, means ''taking your hand away from the handbrake,'' which is often in and of itself a lethally stupid idea. (Unlike motorcycles, horses can be commanded to stop or slow down verbally as well as via the reins, and reins can be held in either hand. Unless a motorcycle is modified, its handbrake is on the right hand, and until voice command technology improves, a vehicle cannot be commanded to stop or slow down via voice.)

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor has a motorcycle jousting match against one of the Bannermen in "Delta and the Bannermen".

* In ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'', Shigure once does a motorcycle joust against an armored horseman.

* There's a pair of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' episodes (Chapter 4 and Chapter 8) in which Obi-wan Kenobi and a platoon of clone lancers do this against IG lancer droids and the bounty hunter Durge, on speeder bikes.

* Done as a team by Harry Dresden and Karin Murphy in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles''. The normal difficulties are somewhat alleviated by Harry handling the "lance" (a magically charged wizard's staff in this case) while Murphy drove the bike. A heaping helping of magic supercharged with HellFire smoothed out the rest.

* This occurs as a minigame in ''FullThrottle''.

* There's a pair of ''StarWarsCloneWars'' episodes (Chapter 4 and Chapter 8) in which Obi-wan Kenobi and a platoon of clone lancers do this against IG lancer droids and the bounty hunter Durge, on speeder bikes.

* Creator/TerrenceHill and Creator/BudSpencer do it in ''[[Film/WatchOutWereMad Watch Out, We're Mad]]''. After being chased by mobsters on motorcycles, both protagonists enter a meadow with cows to perform this, using long branches as weapons.

* Creator/TerrenceHill and Creator/BudSpencer do it in ''[[Film/WatchOutWereMad Watch Out, We're Mad]]''.

* Happens infrequently in the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise. The most famous example is Series/KamenRiderKuuga, where the titular Kuuga had a bike specifically known for maneuverability, and could joust just about anywhere (roads, beaches and even inside buildings).

* Happens infrequently in the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise. A prime example occurs during the final battle of Series/KamenRiderFourze's [[TheMovie movie]].

* Disney's ''{{JESSIE}}'' did this as well.
* Happens in the ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' episode "[[http://wizardsofwaverlyplace.wikia.com/wiki/Graphic_Novel Graphic Novel]]".
* One ''AmericanChopper'' episode had them doing this in pairs, though one was on a scooter.
* An episode of ''{{Sliders}}'' features this as part of a parallel universe that seems heavily inspired by ''MadMax''.
* ''{{Jackass}}'' did it with bicycles. Close enough to fit.

* In the "Camelot Capers" episode ''TheGoodies'' had to joust a horseback knight while mounted on their iconic three-seater bicycle. It doesn't go well for them.

* At the climax of ''Film/MissionImpossible II'', Ethan and the BigBad do this.

* ''Bollywood/{{Dhoom}}'' 3 has Jai and Sahir ([[spoiler:Or is it Samar?]]) motorcycle jousting in the end chase.

* Dhoom 3 has Jai and Sahir ([[spoiler:Or is it Samar?]]) motorcycle jousting in the end chase.

Waving or pointing an object, especially if you're right-handed, means ''taking your hand away from the handbrake,'' which is often in and of itself a lethally stupid idea. Left-handed people or a specially wired handbrake can prevent that, but holding out or waving a long object can also cause your bike to become unbalanced or the object to catch on something - which will also often cause a crash. Note the Darwin Award winner and the guys that managed to crash each other in the examples...
