I guess people are used to seeing poll spelled pole that they're getting confused which usage of pole/poll to use anymore.

I spelled it that way because it pisses me off when people say "Now with pole"
 

You people getting your panties in a bunch about this video would sh!t a brick watching some of the bike videos out there.

honestly, it doesn't impress me. it shows me their stupidity and carelessness of others. i'd be much more impressed by a 5 year old pulling a hat trick in a soccer game than someone standing up in the seat of their bike at 80+ mph.

The uncool thing he did was go between two cars.

Going straight down a limited access road is no biggie though. It's the traffic that's the issue.

Because on a motorcycle on the freeway, chances are VERY high that you'll only kill yourself.

Not to say that it's OK...because if they crash and another car hits them, the driver of that car will feel crushing guilt that they don't deserve.

I saw this dude driving a donorcycle up I-95 at about 75 mph one day. He was doing stupid tricks like changing from facing forward to facing backwards and back again.
Excellent. I will most definitely use that term from now on. Only recently have I created sh*tsubishi (I'm sure others have, but I'd never heard it). Now donorcycles!

Newsflash: It's pretty rare to injure or kill anyone else when you wreck on a bike. I would think the reasons would be obvious.

SH!T. Seeing this you think you would hear more about about bike accidents in the news and such. People are doing this every day I'm sure.

How fast do you need to be going in a straight line before the universe implodes or something? Accidents have other causes, not straight line speed. It isn't like bikes suddenly fall apart at a predetermined speed.

Absolutely. If you want to do crazy sh!t (which I am not against by any means) do it where you will be the only casualty.

True, but I'm sure many people don't have the same level of skill as the guy on the video.

That doesn't make it right. Is it okay for NASCAR drivers to go out and drive their cars 150mph just because they have more experience? Sweet vids though :p

it doesn't take ANY skill to be able to go 170 or whatever on a straight. He really didn't show any skill in any of that video... not saying he doesn't have any, but it's not like he was railing it throught he twisties or something

Will only kill himself but who cares. It's very uncool when the freeway has to be closed during the investigation, inconveniencing everyone else.
