Insane road skills

Thought many of you wouldn't have seen this one before.

Some nice riding and road craft here. This respected rider in Japan did the route with 120kmh average speed in a 40 zone.

Do we have roads like that in NZ?

Only watched the first 3 minutes or so. For sure the guy knew how to work his bike around those bends but it didn't impress me in terms of being on a public road with other vehicles around. Anyone out to measure or show off the size of their balls with a potentially lethal weapon where innocent others are in the vicinity doesn't do anything for me. If he'd been on a track or a closed road I'd have enjoyed watching; as it was I couldn't be bothered, knowing the setting.

Sorry, count me down as unimpressed.

It never fails to amaze me that some people can be so easily impressed by fuckwits who have zero consideration for anyone else that shares the road with them.

[st00ji]

this is the sportsbike forum, take your complaining back to general please :P

Agree with Katman :thud: 120 AVERAGE in a 40 zone is beyond stupidity. This is another troll right? :blank:

[Latte]

Not really road skills. No Indicating when passing, no travelling at a speed able to stop in the distance visible etc.

Would be a blast thought, right up until....

[SMOKEU]

The rider does appear to have a fair bit of skill on a bike, if you want to see pure stupidity on bikes then there are plenty of Youtube movies around with noobs binning a nice sports bike after a rather epic wheelie/stoppie/other stunt fail.

[rdkls]

Hum it's ok but I wouldn't call it roadcraft; there are no good examples of safe riding there.

Some dodgy overtakes on the outside. If someone was coming the other way (particularly if they were doing the same thing) he would've been pretty fucked a-la

Got to agree with the other guys; I don't mind fast-ish pace, but if you actually want to test yourself above 80% go to the track; just not worth fucking up on the road.

[racefactory]

Hard braking and getting that zx10 right over and holding it very stable too!

It's his life and his bike... If he wants to go that fast and has the skills to then he bloody well can. There are basically no others around for miles. Those of you who want to complain that it's unsafe, get out of the sport bike forum... the last thing we ride these kind of bikes for is to be safe. Shut your complaining because you're really only just jealous if anything and this guy most likely has more skill than anyone on this site. The japanese really do take their riding seriously and are damn good at it.

[Katman]

Those of you who want to complain that it's unsafe, get out of the sport bike forum... the last thing we ride these kind of bikes for is to be safe. Shut your complaining because you're really only just jealous if anything and this guy most likely has far more skill than anyone on this site.

What a fuckin' retard.

[PrincessBandit]

Fucking fantastic riding there.

Who's the rider btw?

If you want to aspire to that kind of riding in a public place just make sure you only take yourself out when you eventually lose it.
p.s. I'll read in the sports forum if I want ya wanker. (comment based on "the last thing we ride these kind of bikes for is to be safe")

[racefactory]

You're all in a state of a denial. What does a 170kg 150hp machine do? Brake hard, tear up corners and obliterate straight lines.

This guy is not doing this on a suburban road or highly populated area... so stop your complaining all you crusty wet blankets!

[nudemetalz]

What worries me is some learner noobie teen on a VT250 will watch this on his Mummies laptop and then go out and ride "just like the cool jap dude".
Then his Mum and Dad will be organising a funeral....

[racefactory]

Well boo hoo fucking I'll watch a video of someone doing a wall flip... then try it and snap my neck. Fuck you politically correct bastards are terrible!

[TOTO]

just another soon to be dead "ghost rider"

Cynical cunt :)

Cynical cunt.

If he was riding a ducati I wouldn't have said it bro. He'd be sitting on the side of the side of the road and trying to make the electrics work...

True... been there done that. Japs ftw

[nosebleed]

Meh, gave up after a minute-something... What a fuckin noise

[racefactory]

4 cyl still have to be respected buddy.

Or his smoke-blowing duck 996...

[p.dath]

Do we have roads like that in NZ?

Yep, they have nice painted white crosses on the side, sometimes with flowers, so you can spot them easily.

[gatch]

Madness aside, the person aboard can ride..

...like a fucken idiot that other fucken idiots aspire to...

[gatch]

Cry me a river there JT.

If you remove the human element, the guy can ride. I'm not saying, "great stuff mate, that will show those silly car drivers who's in charge".

He is in control of his motorcycle, outside elements aside, he can ride.

If you can't take what I'm saying at face value, I'll send you some tissues and a teddy.

[racefactory]

Nicely put. You can see right through what some are commenting on here, they're really just a bunch of whingers whining in denial.

It's mad and irresponsible yes, but he knows how to ride nice. It wasn't a dick size contest, just a good fun watch.

[Katman]

Took me a while to figure out but there was always something strangely familiar about this retard.

Racefactory = trademe900.

Just like the FOUR fuckwits that took out a decorated NZ HERO.

They were just having some good fun too eh?

Fuck they have some mean insane skills eh bro? eh?

[EJK]

If you wanna see a real insane/ crazy/ idiot/ asshole/ death wished/ mad/ psycho riding, watch this.

[scumdog]

Meh, the world is full of morons, even in Japan.

And some ride motorbikes.

[ducatilover]

I'm soooooooo jealous, because all I aspire to do is ride on the limit.

And remember good folks, "it's a limit, not a target". :msn-wink:






Sits back now waiting for the pot shots....

Their skills can't be all that mean and insane if they crashed and killed someone.

And the victims status is irrelevant.

Just another statistic to quote out of context.

Oh faaaaaar bhey, you are such a pussy and shit! Jealous asssssss, must have little knackers eh?


I don't do that too good do I?

You need to translate that for me; the only words I understood were pussy, shit and knackers. The rest left a skidmark. (Ooops, must make sure I don't say that word 3 times while looking in a mirror...)

[ducatilover]

Yeah, I'd advise care on the last word there, He Who Must Not Be Named etc etc

I don't think I can translate the rest, I had to don a "hoodie" and sling my pants rather low to manage it, I'm not willing to go through that sensation again. :msn-wink:

Just out of curiosity. Do we have a thread somewhere on this forum dedicated to videos such as this?

It would be a good idea, then people can be directed there when ever they feel the need to do stupid things like that.
