    He has wiked skill and can read the traffic way ahead... but he's crazy and I think he'll go splat eventually.

    He has quite a few close calls...as you would

    He is very skilled at highspeed riding, but watching him go through corners and i can tell you guys on KB go alot faster... Wheelies, his arent that great... Loosebruce, WT, Death and a few others do far better wheelies...

    Entertaining though (the cop baiting)

    Is there any way I can upload a file of a video of the wheelie king?

    Like most other people have said, cool to watch, but I don't think i'll be trying anything similar soon.
    It would certainly be hard to read the traffic ahead when you're closing on them at nearly 200kmh.

    Sort of like a 'kids, don't try this at home sort of a thing'

    All I've seen of him is the Busa Vid. What did he do to the bike to produce so many horses?

He is not the type of rider I would want to be on a ride with.

    His bikes are built by a company that preps race bikes for a race team in Europe.
    He has a background in racing, some believe he is a actual racer of a reputable level. He has a family and does value his life the same as you and I. I believe his latest release includes a run around the ring road of Paris, which the record was set by the Black Prince, (Died I believe attempting another nutter stunt.)

    Most of his runs on not done on the Busa, and they are carefully planned and setup. He is wanted in Europe, but I believe the laws require him to be caught in the act. The authorities are aware who he is.

    Personally I prefer the "Fast Bikes" vids. But for those of you that say it wont be a racer, they wouldnt do this sort of stunt. Just look at the "Fast Bikes" vids.
    A certain GP racer reg defies the law in their vids.

    On a side note, while I dont approve and feel its nuts to do, I find myself still watching the antics of these indviduals.

    Well... I have been searching for a while to see if he is dead or not - so many conflicting opinoins and stories.

    I would like to hear he is not dead and has slowed down a a little since his last escapades.

    One of the most amazing shots I have seen out of any bike footage is the one (last ride?) where the 3 bikes are doing 250+ and just go booting it past the camera, which is sitting in a field next to a motorway. The speed difference between them and the cars is just amazing, so is the sound .

    Shall we just call him a legend and stop it at that

    Hmm looks like im missing an episode of the 3 so far so im going to try and download that as some time. As my dad would say "Ticket to the grave" for him but hey if is is dieing from something else, so be it - Life is short at the best of times. Just hope he does not kill someone innocent if he goes that way.
