Gimps like these make me mad because I get associated with this type of behaviour just because I ride a motorcycle.

People. DO AN F---ING TRACK DAY!! Stop with the stupid street shit.

That is all.

Way too fast and reckless on the street or me, but I don't think he ever "lost" the front or rear. The front always seemed pretty stable, and he appeared to be sliding the rear on purpose into corners. Looked like he spun up the rear on a few corner exits as well.

Looks like a cool road...except for the traffic.



I am interested in what was going on in some of those turns.  I think I equate "loosing it" with crashing  but  it seemed he must have been on the very edge of it.  There were many instances where it seemed the front of the bike was almost skipping across the road.  You could even hear the difference in the audio.  What was happening there?  And how do you slide the rear on purpose?

Aggressive downshifts, experienced clutch hand....   If you watch one right hand corner in particular, his rear wheel speed drops off about 20km/h (breaking traction) approaching the apex before matching up.

i have to say, i do like watching them ride and i take my comment back about him loosing it.

But i wouldnt like to hang out with guys who ride on the edge like that on city streets. Seriously, find a track.

Friend of a friend... Still alive, amazingly..
 




Ivan your friend of a friend is perhaps the biggest bag of douche I have yet to see on youtube.  That was putting other peoples lives at risk, not to mention at the end of the video when the sun went down.  Yes I will pass cars and other bikes but in a respectable way.

You are spot on. He is an idiot. (but he did pass a police car at 150km/h  Grin)

The Greeks in the first video do some pretty amazing things on that stretch of road that they know like the bike of their hand, but riding to the edge like that in traffic you are placing your trust, and quite literally your life, in the ability of the other drivers on the road to obey traffic laws.  In my experience you would have better luck catching a bullet with Angel Soft.  My ass puckered when the gsxr backed it in while passing on the outside of a right hander with oncoming traffic.  They practice a lot and they are good at it on this particular highway, but I am concerned one of their wannabies/fans will be coming the opposite direction during one of these filming sessions. 

Are the painted lines not slick in Europe???....the roads are rough as hell, and damn if they don't trust their rubber!

In the UK, the police have a special unit that looks at these clips posted on youtube, if they determine that it was in the UK, then they will investigate it.
They tracked one guy down from a dealers number on the keyfob.
The courts then throw the book, including incarceration.
If you crash your motorcycle and have a video camera attached, they will seize the camera to check for evidence that you were breaking the law.

And the footage helps them to decide where to apply enforcement measures.

It's pretty stupid to film yourself breaking the law.
And even more stupid to broadcast it to the world.

I agree, the guy's in the videos are pushing way past the limit. That said, I sure felt alot safer splitting lanes on a rented RSV at 200 klicks in Italy then I do following traffic here in the US at 70mph.
