I know it was in kilometers, but it wouldn't matter if he was doing 65 mph, is actions are ridiculous.

very true.

doing a wheelie and swerving in and out of traffic is idiotic.

this was posted a year or so ago and everyone was on him on the speed.

Wow.... thats really stupid taking the shoulder at 250kmph (150mph). All it would take is a small patch of loose gravel and he's a grease stain.

That's Ghost Rider:thumbsup:. He's quite famous in the bike world. Incredible skills and one of the bravest/most insane riders ever.

Ghost Rider

Edit: I'm wrong. It's not Ghost Rider.

Or some debris picked up in his tire.

Actually its not. If you have seen the full ghostrider movie - he will not pause or slow down when there is a huge gap. Notice in the movie this guy slows down when the bus is passing the slower vehicle. For ghostrider - that is too big of a gap to slow down.

This is more amateurish that ghostrider IMO.

I've seen much faster. It's risky stuff and totally not wise. Opening it up along the straights is sound, even wheelieing, but weaving could be dangerous if some driver decides to swerve or something. The hard shoulder is a definate crap plan as dirt/bits of exhaust/sh!t accumulates there. Despite the stability of going at that speed, you're still in for a rough time.

I'd not want to buy a bike after this guy: front bearing would be shagged.

Reminds me of when some idiot was doing the same thing on the highway around here, and I was changing lanes. I looked back and didn't see anything and was about to change, but delayed to change gears. After looking back a second time and just as I was about to pull into the turn, the bike goes whizzing by at what must've been at least 90mph. If I had not changed gears there is no doubt in my mind he would've made a dent in the back of my truck and become highway paint.

I think everyone I know of that has had a bike has been in an accident. Just had one recenlty where the rear tire slipped out on a turn, then gripped real fast and sent the guy flying into a lightpost with the bike smashing him in the back. He's still a little slow after that.

Top speed 186mph (300kph), and a wheelie at 136mph (220kph).

I suspect he's a bit more experienced than the average rider.
