add instructions: 2nd half is more badass/moronic

It would have been badass if he was the only one at risk of getting hurt, but driving into oncoming traffic and weaving around at those speeds is just asking for it. Although I'll admit that squeezing through the traffic at the tail end of the video was impressive.

[LawL]

There are 2 choices in the question and the answer is yes or no. Obviously the OP is the moron.

........... squeezing through the traffic at the tail end of the video was impressive.

Impressive? Maybe, but bloody stupid; yes

All it would take is for some poor innocent (pedestrian) soul to cross the road (yes, between cars, and in traffic) to be taken out by this idiot.

Personally I was waiting for someone caught in that traffic, sick of such 2 wheeled stupidity to open their car door on him. Jesus, I was tempted and I wasn't there.

A moron IMO or high on drugs with a a death wish, take on oncoming traffic at speed in their lane ridiculous.

He should be shot next t dawn before he kills an innocent

My 2 cents

Yes, edit Tsakali (I have not voted) from yes/no to badass OR moron.

EDIT: Voted yes for moron.

старый...

[PhoeniX]

Not sure whether the fact he wasn't knocked off was more luck or skill..

Between 4 and 6 minutes it almost looked CGI, how do you not take a wing mirror out doing that? Crazy.

[Tsakali]

the guy is obviously skilled, and very comfortable on the bike...and all things considered, there are really no intersections, or much merging in/out traffic to be had. Theoretically, he should be able to do this all day long down that particular stretch of road... none of the cars really had any reason to change lanes or do anything unpredictable, being that they are in it for the long haul... but still, I wouldn't take those chances, even if I had his skill.

[Scourge]

I agree, he has skill. And when people have no reason to change lanes, etc. is just when they'll do it. All it would take is one person to open their door to puke or something and he's toast. So, yes, I think he's a moron. Same with all the bike riders I see around here doing the same thing, albeit on a smaller scale.

[Transient]

One abrupt lane change and that guy would be toast. Nice to know he can rely on blinkers wherever he is, because here in New England, he wouldn't have made it more than a block before someone switched lanes without warning to try and get to their destination a few seconds faster.

[Scourge]

Apparently turn signals have stopped working around here. I have people doing that to me all the time. I feel like riding up next to them and putting a nice boot sized dent in their door.

[Transient]

For work I drive around in areas with heavy tourist traffic, so tourists drive slow and they make turns at the last second because they don't know where they're going, while locals zip around at breakneck speeds. It's nuts and I'm surprised I haven't been in an accident yet. I've recently started driving less aggressively myself because I realized how fucking stupid I was being on the road.

Damn right. Idiot drivers piss me off. Especially the cock-gobblers on their fucking cell phone.

[LawL]

I agree with your angry sentiment.

[Transient]

Especially the cock-gobblers on their fucking cell phone.

I am so tempted to rant right now...

[seremtan]

cum-gargling shit-donkeys

if people can't put their phones down just for five minutes they should have them nailed to their fucking heads

[Ryoki]

Impressive skills, but goddamn what an idiot. One unpredictable move by someone and he's dead.

Oh those Russians...

[Eraser]

Who cares about him being dead or not. That's not the real issue here. The real issue is him putting others in a situation that could either be dangerous for the other person, or where another person could be the start of a chain of events that results in him getting hurt or dying.

How would you feel if a motorcyclist crashes into your car because you turned to another lane and didn't see him coming? He may have been riding like a lunatic, but I'm pretty sure you still feel really shitty about it. You carry that sort of shit for the rest of your life. It's exactly that sort of disregard for other people's well being, physically but more so mentally that pisses me off about stunt cocks like this.

[U4EA]

exactly that sort of disregard for other people

Yeah, like book spoilers in the GoT TV show thread

[Eraser]

God damn, you got me there. Not really spoiling a TV show is exactly the same as endangering and/or causing life-long mental problems to others by reckless driving.

[Transient]

Yes it is, I can't sleep at night knowing you're going to kinda but not really ruin a show for me!

[LBt1st]

I may be wrong but does this video seem slightly sped up to anyone else? That or his bike has really touchy steering. The way it leans during the lower speed parts seems unnatural to me.
Still impressive. Still stupid.

Whoa

A rare visit LBt1st WB.

and yes, I still think, no wait, know he's a moron because as Eraser says, we don't care if he kills or maims himself, it's the others in his path of concern.
