    Not inevitable - but very likely indeed.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    I take a guess and say the gearing had been lowed significantly - probably 200km/h on that speedo would be closer to 150 in the real world.

    What a knob...Bring it to a track as see how fast you are there

    The dude's a nutcase, absolutely, but through the video I couldn't help noticing...

    Damn those are some NICE roads.

    But yeah, he's an idiot.

    I'm not too sure if I would say he's in a class of his own ....wasn't looking forward to seeing what happened when that car pulled out .. could've been messy!

    That passing maneuver was the only let-down. Imagine being nailed head on by a bike doing 200km+. If you have family, imagine it happening with your family in the car. Other than that, it was nice riding. The road wasn't the type prone to pedestrian traffic, and he obviously knew it well. Still, if he'd just had the patience to wait a couple of seconds when it counted, he'd have eliminated 95% of the risk.
