These guys like to have a bit of a gamble it would appear.

No seriously all I can say is wow.

all i can say is "what a bunch of idiots".
passing at 300 kmh on the emergency lane? i'm pretty disappointed nobody opened a door...

these assholes are the main reason we are always considered stupid and dangerous.

Who said "the road is not a race track"?

They are clearly wrong;)

It may double as a racetrack for some, sometimes but I can confidently testify that the road is definitely not a Bouncy
Castle! :no:

Fuck .. that looked awesome - I was waiting for the 300 to come up on the speedo - and it never did ...

That looked so much fun !!!!

"The road is not a race track" means there are no flag marshals and no ambulances when you fuck up ...

...and no shortage of others to potentially share in your misfortune.

But, I suppose the video does go to prove that some people certainly do deserve to meet a gruesome end.

He's probably just trying to troubleshoot why the speedo won't go past 299 even tho his rev is still climbing.

The guy on the Repsol fireblade is there so that no one will say "pics or it didn't happen" and possibly his buddy system for just in case something goes wrong.

The fella on the yellow GSXR was up front to scout the road and make sure they have clear lines to swerve around.

:facepalm:

Did anyone else notice the cyclist they just missed @1:18 just after passing the truck on the hard shoulder.



I'm pretty fuckin' appalled by that behavior TBH. (and I'm a rider who thinks of speed limits as "... more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules." )

Thats pretty full on... You would have to be SURE there isnt another group further up the road sitting in the emergency lane (like they are) planning or reviewing such a stunt as at that speed you wouldnt have much of a chance of avoiding them.

On one hand I admire the skill (or luck) but I know I'm not that skilled or lucky to get away with using that much of the road at that speed for that long... Gives me the shits thinking about it and the other poor bastards just trying to get a load delivered of getting to grandmas house...

Your a dickhead mate it's that sort of shit from people like you that gives them the balls to do it again.
Three times the speed limit, they should of lost the bike and licence and got locked up, I hope some body catches up with them.
Us bikers have to make a stand on this shit, some innocent persons could get seriously hurt and fuck we all got to pay when shit like this happens.
To see this on here is just icing on the cake, they want everybody to applaud their actions

I often wonder if people would be such fuckwits if YouTube an POV cams didn't exist.

Then I remember I used to be a fuckwit ( not this much of a fickwit ) back when the roads were much less cluttered with cars and road furniture. I also remember I have a POV cam and I don't ride like that with on.

I think it is a function nature vs humans have found to many ways to resist Darwinian selection. Plenty of 6 million dollar survivors to make it ok.

At one point watching that my perspective got all fucked up and it looked like those irresponsible fuckers in cars were accelerating backwards towards the bikes.

It would take some cerebral re-calibration to adjust to legal speeds after a blast like that!

Incredible amount of skill displayed........by the road workers in ensuring there is to step in the seal between the hard shoulder and the legal lane.........that could go wrong so quickly.

totally agree.
for me as well speed tickets are the only notices i've ever taken, so i'm not a virgin at all.
in europe speed limits are higher than yours: normally 130 on highways and with different tolerances you could reasonably travel at 150 risking not more than a very low payment.
but one thing is "stealing" 15-20 kmh to the speed of other vehicles around you, other is... that...

and look at the gear of the asshole on the honda: they're two squids jeopardizing others' lives in a middle afternoon. hope they find a large open manhole...

'Cos all I'm seeing in the video are fuckwits with absolutely no consideration for the life or well-being of anyone around them.

You are joining together two seperate things.

I see that as well and said as much. However there is also the fact that even if i wanted to be a complete fuckwit with absolutely no consideration for the life or well-being of anyone around me I would not have got as far down the road as they did because I would have crashed and burnt. Like it or not, some skill is required to do that (although maybe not as much as I think) but I will never know because I wouldnt even try.

I ride a mountain bike sometimes - I watch videos of people doing things on them I can't even concieve how they do them and I'm in awe of their ability and courage.

I'm happy to have small talents and satisfied that I have enough ability to achieve what I need to do safely with enough margin to allow for adverse conditions and uncontrolled environments. However, I also realise some people have more ability that i do. Wether its actual ability or just that they are able to take on more personal risk is a moot point but I can still appreciate a higher level of talent.

I take delight in this as the world would be in a sad state if my personal level of ability was the upper limit for all... Rather than envy - I delight in others with ability... I despair about some choices but wont denigh talent (wasted as it is)

I hear the audition tape for "Dumb & Dumber" was received with delight by the producers of the show "Daredevils on two wheels".

By the time these clowns got their call-up they were already dead and buried however...:brick: (Just telling the truth in advance) :eek5:

I kept wondering when they were going to end up as raspberry jam. Gonna happen one day. Just hope no one else ends up on the receiving end of their fuckwittery. Two wankers trying to out-penis each other - why don't they just get a room then no one else has to worry about being in the wrong place at the wrong time while they cock stroke each other on two wheels.
