...or the "how to be a total idiot while driving".

Seriusly this type of people scare the crap out of me, both when im walking, driving, or just trying to sleep and they illegal race on my street. Hope they all die, crashing in some remote valley were they wont even interrupt traffic.

You can throw the light weight 125's around with you hips but not the big bikes... The faster they go the harder they are to throw like that. Maybe Im wrong but my instinct maybe right. Look at 4:08 for about 20 seconds... At 4:16 to 4:20 hes dipping his wing mirrors under and over the cars wing mirrors on each side.. and again around 4:40. I think you will find 5:20 more like actual speed.

Would be nice if you could see the lights change or something, then maybe I could prove it.

Either way he's still f***ing nuts.

There was a guy not far from where I live who posted a youtube vid of him doing 299 km/h down the highway north of Victoria doing similar stuff.

This one gave me the willies much more than the Victoria one. You wish these guys would bounce off a stone and harmlessly (for other cars, anyways) into a ditch, but usually that's not how it happens.

Yea once you reach 90+mph its a totally different bike. 130mph on a nakid was fast enough for me... Takes forever to stop... especially with single disc and back drum

I had a helmit with all the lining gone and I put my chin to far up. The air nearly pulled my off the bike by my head! Happy crazy days...

I hate douche nozzles like this guy. I gladly await the day when a you tube video of this guy becoming road pizza is published.

Used to live on this street )

I would call such driving in Moscow "Brain of stainless steel". Sorry, bike is not a recommended vehicle for Russia as it is too soft.

I found myself holding my breath for most of it. Unbelievable! I trundle around on an old Hog and obviously get passed a lot by these guys on the highway. Sometimes as they're passing they'll pull a wheelie, sort've like a derisive "salute" to the old fart on the Harley. I'm pushing 150K km on the odo of my current ride, and the only accident I've had on it was getting rear-ended by a Ducati Monster while a buddy and I were making a signalled left turn. I was thrown and bounced (leathers, helmet, and extra "padding" were all good here). Mr Street Racer, a welder by trade, was off work for 6 weeks; as I heard much later. He was charged but never heard the outcome. All I knew was my riding season was over that September night......but it was a great excuse to get the engine bored, stroked, & cammed etc. while it was in the shop all winter.

When I got home much, much later that night my wife jumped and asked, "What happened to you?" "A baby raccoon walked out on the road, so I slammed on the brakes and the bike kinda tipped over...." Yeah, I lied. But sometimes it keeps life less complicated.
