Wow...the riding the center line at about 3:00 had me nervous. He was one bad lane change away from meeting the big man.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

He clipped one car. I'll have to watch it later after work to see if he clipped more. I remember once while with my Great-Grandma in the East Bay when I was like 4 or 5, we were driving and some guy pretty much was doing what the guy in the vid was doing, but he hit the driver's side mirror and took it completely off and kept on going. Wonder if he broke his arm.

When I was an LEO a buddy worked an accident in my district while I was at lunch. A MC rider went to the shoulder to pass traffic on I-20. It was at night and he didnt see the Tractor Trailer on the shoulder until it was too late.

Impact speed was estimated at 50+mph.........it did leave a mark.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

He/she does have some skills on a bike. I always thought you wanted to stay away from cars, not get as close as possible to them. lol

Yes, that rider is stupid, not only will he/she hurt themself, they will also hurt or kill someone in the process of riding like that..

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

Always funny to me when people that dont ride a sports bike judge those that do. Nothing that guy did in the video is "amazing" or wow worthy, its normal everyday riding for most sport bike riders. Some are just a bit more caredful than others.

Tens of thousands of cage drivers do equally stupid shit every day, eating, texting, putting on makeup, playing with their ipod, etc etc etc.....Even correcting for the percentage of participants, the number of fatal wrecks I have worked caused by dipshit DRIVERS far outweighs the dipshit RIDERS by a huge margin. At least the video of riders is entertaining

Just makes me wish someone would open a car door when he was going through traffic...

I kept waiting for the final scene where the ambulance crew picked the shattered camera up off the ground.

Gotta wonder if he's still alive today?

That is a very fucked up thing to wish upon a rider, you are a piece of shit of a different caliber!

I know this is a Russian video but squids like this do motorcyclists no favors. I own two bikes and am a serious rider. I've also responded to accident scenes where idiots like this have hurt others. I don't give a shit how skilled a rider is, there is <span style="text-decoration: underline">never</span> a valid excuse/reason for riding like this on public roadways.</div></div>

This is so true, and I agree with this totally.

All true, except the "entertaining" part. For me, it WAS one of those "dipshit drivers" that has changed my life totally, forever. (so the doctors say, but what do they know? I ain't giving up...) God decided he didn't want me yet, and I'm still trying to figure out why. Riding IS an absolute dream. I just pray that I'm able to actually do so, again, one day. Let alone, the majority of things that I USED TO DO, both in life, AND for a living.

Hopefully, he only hurts himself when it happens.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

I think that anyone who is willing to endanger someone else's life with such irresponsible behavior is a piece of shit. Anyone who thinks this shit is cool needs to have their heads examined. Hope when he checks out that he doesn't take someone else with him.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

There is a fine line between a "rider" and a crazy guy on a bike. If you are out enjoying the ride, and being safe about it, no I don't wish any harm to that person. When you drive like a maniac such as this person, you put others at risk of injury or death. Just think if a little old lady was driving around at that time, and when this guy blew past her at mach 17, she panics and dodges over into oncoming traffic. If you want to go fast, go to a race track or a less congested road. If you have a death wish, save us all some time, and play chicken with a train.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

He's a douche bag. Period. If you really think the rules don't apply to you just because you are a sport bike ride, so are you. The problem aside from killing someone else, what if someone else doesn't see you coming and happens to change lanes or something - even a slight bobble - and kills this asshat? Then they have to live with that the rest of their lives even though this guy is the real prick. This kind of crap give all bikers a bad name. And yes, I own a Harley AND a sport bike.

+1 right around 4:10 I was waiting and hoping for someone to open their door on this idiot. He wasn't really going that fast, top speed near the beginning of the video probably around 90 or so. That is a good way to beat traffic, but very irresponsible, I don't care if you are an idiot and hurt yourself but don't put others in danger. There are closed tracks for riding for a reason, I know this video is in Moscow, but I am sure they have tracks there also.

Sorry, that guy is not a "squid". He is very stupid for riding like that, but he definately has some skills.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

We used to have a nickname for guys like that ..... "Organ Donor".

And before you guys get all up in arms I road Sport Bikes for years and have done my fair share of stupid shit . We tried to keep it in less populated areas where if someone got hurt or killed they were the only ones .

I don't know about Russia but the Pacific Northwest has lots of roads perfect for letting your inner idiot out

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

I have an R1 race bike I ride regularly at track days. I know fast. That video made me hyperventilate. Astoundingly stupid.

Darwin will clean him out of the gene pool soon. Contrary to some of the commentary, he wasn't terribly skilled, just very, very brave.

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

As a bike rider I hate seeing people ride like this! That being said, the video was entertaining!

Damn I thought he was in Boston for a minute except for the Russian writing LOL

I did that shit once when I was 17, NightHawk 550 - dangerous shit!!

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

The rider is riding within the limits of every other driver in that vid. Not his own limits. If any other driver makes a mistake, he will pay the price. Clearly he is a person that simply DGAF. I'm not particulerly seeing the skill either.

USMC I hesitate to agree with you. If someone were waving a gun in a crowded shopping mall would you be pissed if someone said they wish someone would knock him out? Many here see what this guy was doing as no different.....

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

When I was young and invincable, we would run the LA freeways at speeds around 130+, slow to MAYBE 90 to white line on the way to Decker Canyon. CHP and LEO bikers would just sit on the side of the road and we would fly past them and not even look because we knew they wouldn't give chase.
Want a rush? White Line at 90+ mph and see just how fast you can go before your balls shrink and you slow down...fun game if ya have the sac for it...or teh lack of brains or if you're a young invincable Marine. Of course we have all seen young Joe's with new bikes wind them around a car or a tree within six months too

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

I got way to much to live for these days and my family depends on me. As much as I love riding, I had to hang up my helmets and sell off my bikes. Its just a matter of when not if.....

I already totaled one bike going over a median, and landed in between to cars that happened to be stopped at a light, then with the bike coming down in the air a few feet from me. Walked away with a few bruised ribs (full danise body armor and leathers) , counted my blessings. Then of course I moved to track time until I got married

Re: i'm willing to forgive his riding a yamaha....

I have seen some clowns riding like that on 377 heading back into Ft. worth from Cresson. Those who arent familiar, there is a road course race track there that has bike days sorta. Those are the days you can see some pretty swank rigs out on the highway with some real asshats pushing their luck. This cat has some brass ones along with some awesome hand eye.
