Goofs
During the bike tests, when Jeremy uses James' bike to re-take his test, you can clearly see that the statue (Darcey), they bought for James isn't on the back of the bike while Jeremy is riding it, but when he gets off the bike after failing again and lets the bike fall over, she is tie on to the back and breaks Darcey's head off.

Crazy credits

My favorite special!

I've seen this one several times, it never gets old!

One thing that surprised me: I think when I first saw it on TV theyir backup bike played "Born in the USA" - but the one on the streaming service plays the American anthem. Is my memory deceiving me or they changed the song for copyright reasons?
