This video is everywhere! I can't condone it though. Funny though.

EDIT: Been reading more about this video. It does seem to be erring on the set up side.

I reckon the audio quality alone makes it suspicious.

Is it really that easy to pull a mirror off a van? The uploader's Youtube profile shows he likes to post "exposee" type videos.

It is pretty easy to break the 'mystery metal' bolts that attach mirrors to vehicles. Any solid thump will usually do it.

Cyclist not traveling particularly quickly.  16-17 mph?  Unusual for motor bike I'd have thought.  Yet he is still far enough behind to get good shots of her traveling and for a perfect framing for recording the deed.
