    Scary video

    I know there are a lot of videos on youtube showing bikers doing stupid stuff, but this one is in a class of it's own. Clearly someone who is skilled with the bike but has the judgment of a 2 year old. Note especially at 1:12 where he comes within a hair of highsiding at 175, the speedo blips up to 200 as the rear wheel spins!

    Those were some pretty crazy cornering speeds. The car drivers 30 seconds in must have shat themselvs.

    Doesn't need traffic... that close to a highside, at that speed... odds are never permanently in your favour...
