Some thing tells me, he wouldn't be the fastest back/open road blaster though. If he had nice roads to ride on, he wouldn't be getting his adrenaline fix through city riding...

You should write that up as a sociology thesis, mister.

It's probably true...

Well at the risk of sounding like a pompous git again, I would call him a bloody wanker.......... just like that half wit Ghost Rider. Neither riders have a shits concern about cutting a car in half and killing the family inside. IMO theres no skill in riding like that its all luck and I believe his has run out.

As far as the Ghost Rider goes that man can ride a bike with an impresive amount of skill when he wants to ie: the stunt shows and wheeling the Busa turbo at near 300kph in GR2 that is amazing shit.........BUT the footage in town riding at those speeds is brain dead behavour just like the vid clip in this thread.

It's actually well above that. You can see it on the vid when the GSXR1000 is doing 299 and he over takes it on his busha REAL quick on one wheel. I think it was about 340 or something...

Some folk ride with a death wish alrighty. Only needed one car to pull ot, as nearly happeed at least once(look for the brake lights on the white van) and it would have been a different story. Wonder if he would have still shown it then?

No skill with this dickhead. Now you know why we bus drivers do not open doors out on the road. I wonder why he stopped filming. Maybe the cop finally caught up with him. No speed/radar camera's in Russia. Could a bikers paradise.

I doubt you could filter faster than him, does the FXR do 200??

When it comes to skill, there is a saying in aviation circles that sums this up perfectly.... "A skillful pilot is one who uses his superior foresight to avoid the situation that may require his superior skills to survive"

In motorcycling there should be an exact parrallell.... " A skillful rider is one who uses his superior skills to avoid the situation that may require his superior skills to survive."
