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.

Good story mate, I laughed out loud on your baby raccoon, you should have said 'female baby raccoon'. Just perfect

The video is insane, I was dodging left / right while watching it.

What really scares me about russian roads is guys like these.
This looks like an extreme case..but I've seen too many similar russian vids where people deliberately cause crashes.

Looks like a local village gang. They cause conflict and press a victim for money. Not very common, but may happen if you are unlucky. This is why many drive with video-recorders on - to have a proof for police. happened to me once about 12 years ago on a Moscow street: Land Cruiser came to full stop sharply in front of my Toyota Carina E. Was lucky to stop in a couple of inches. Now it is more safe in Moscow in this regard.
