That is about the worst I have seen. Luck only lasts so long.

I saw that on the Gold Wing forum as I recall. I think some people think it was speeded up to appear more dramatic. If that guy is that fast he should be racing, but on a racetrack.

I was surprised to see only one other motorcycle in that whole video. That guy won't last long. Just one driver error and its over.

[Jim]

The comments suggest it is sped up around the 4 min mark, which judging by his steering and how the bike is reacting seems possible.

I agree though, stupid only lasts so long.

Oh all the ways to die, this dude explores almost all of them involving a motorcycle, speed, and a commute. Only thing missing would be the first 4 minutes where he did a few shots of vodka.

i saw that video over on the kawi forums, and by listening to the sound of the motor from the start to finish of the video, as well as by watching the use of the clutch lever. i dont think the video was sped up.. that guy is crazy but he does have some good control over the bike.

i think it would have been funny if some one in a car saw him coming up on them cutting lanes. then opened their door at the last second..

Speeding in the opposing lane of traffic is pure idiocy. 8O This rider is a menace to everyone else, as well as himself. :roll: I'm sure he will garner a "Darwin Award" in the near future. ;) Thanks for sharing, Fish. :)

I spotted that vid on a car forum, and I had to watch it twice; I made sure that Son of Weldangrind saw how not to ride.

[TurboT]

I don't think it was sped up myself. I watched it a couple times too and the motor sounds consistent... and he does have to virtually stop a couple times. I also think he's hitting some of those cars near the 4 minute mark on, just slightly as he's squeezing through.

It's impressive driving but as pointed out, he won't be so lucky in the future.

I thought the same thing...must not be any "rednecks" in Russia :lol:

If I tried that here in Nashville, somebody would definitely get me with a door... 8O

I don't have any sportbikes anymore, but when I did I liked to play around. However, there is a time and place for it (prefer track, otherwise at least out in the middle of nowhere) and doing that stuff around other traffic is stupid.

I hear the door comment a lot... A local radio dj even suggested doing it to prevent people from passing you on the shoulder of the freeway (even if they meant it as a joke). I really don't see how it's funny, to potentially kill someone for acting like an idiot. :roll:

Sadly, it's seen so often in action movies when the bad guys are on the bikes...The Italian Job comes to mind...
Kids see that, "That'd be cool"...dumb stunt on the way...
I actually had it happen a couple of times on my bicycle (accident, parked car, didn't look, opened door, I dodged...)
I hug the center line when I pass parked cars...

My dad told me one day recently he thought someone was trying to hit him with their car door when he was transferring his trailer box into the truck (you have to park on the side of the road if you can't take it in the job)... He said he heard them laughing or whatever as they drove past and when he looked they were closing the door or something like they had opened it as they were driving by.

People are stupid. :?

Yes indeed.
