Makes us look like pussy cats when we get out together.
How close were some of the passes between cars and trucks....
NUTS.....

He kept on hitting the edges of the road on left handers.

I like how his mate on the 999 was looking behind a couple of times to say,"have you caught up yet?" [cheeky]

Or are you still upright.
Did you see he had a rear facing camera, maybe to catch his mate having a moment.

I think we can all ride like that if we had nothing to live for thats  sad  :'(

I bet these guys go home after a ride like that and have a round of Russian roulette  ???

Yeah saw that.

I just could not imagine riding like that, just one "OH SHIT!" moment and you're a grease spot on the road.

True that.....
Very happy with my pace right now.
I like that I don't have to grit my teeth and hope that I make it round a corner.
Or to the next one for that matter.

Oh what is it is to be young an immortal!

Maybe I would have done this stupid stuff at 20 but fortunately I am now old enough to know I don't know it all  [laugh]

that video proves a few things doesn't it!
1/ horsepower isn't everything! there was no way that gsxr1000 was going to get anywhere near the duke
2/ it IS possible to function with your brain in an esky.
3/ gsxr owners need either slipper clutches, more skill, or both.

omg! if he's not dead yet he will be soon, riding like that, and the rider on the duke is sooo smooth and fast.

paul.

For sure the Duc was much smoother and faster and the Gixer was all over the place.
But I think they were both lucky to not be all over an on coming car.

As R_usty said young and immortal is great but older and wiser is the way to stay alive.
Could never have riden when I was younger don't think I would have been here now.
Well not without being injured anyway.

Yep. >:(
That kind of stupidity gives us all a bad rep. Some arsehole politician will see that and use uit as 'evidence' that all motorcyclists are stupid.

I hope they don't hurt anyone else when they crash and burn.

That first vid is just madness! :o

The Gixxer was sliding the rear into the corners trying to be a MotoGp hero.

The bottom one rob posted well all I can say is he is definately going to be a statistic! [moto]


Hi Rob Great to see your back posting [beer]

All I can say is that second vid, he has got some great control over that bike, but he has the brain the size of a peanut.

If he is not worm food by now, it won't be long. ;)

That 2nd video looks like the guy is ice skating more riding the way the bike is sliding from side to side.

These aren't videos, they are 'lessons on how to die'!

2 guys in a Commodore VL ran into the back of a parked car today bout 500 meters from where I work (Lygon Street, Carlton). by the looks of the front end they must have been going 120 in a 60 zone, at least. Both dead.

They are out there!
