I won't watch the video, but I will say I hope Darwin catches up to this person soon. No matter how good you are, you cannot plan for every eventuality, or the reactions of other drivers. He is not only putting himself in danger, but others as well. Each and every time we sponsor people like this, there will come more imitators, and more, and more. Eventually people are going to not want to leave their homes for fear of having to dodge these fools on a regular. It's time for these people to grow up, and take it to the track.

Reminds me of my roomate....

obviously not as bad as this guy though.

But I guess this is why police have such a hard time catching a fast biker unless theres a chopper in the air prior to seeing the biker speed.

Something's wrong with the calculations cause he'd have to average 160-170 MPH to to get that distance in that time, he would have to be at 300kmph (~180mph) MOST of the time something he did not do!

Look at his speedo.... he was pretty close to 300 kmh a GOOD portion of the time.

I do believe he did average 160 or so mph.

One of my roomates worry me He just purchased a R1 after 2 years of owning an R6, he is keeping both his bikes. R1 is governed to 185 mph.... ....

Yeah that is insane. But the roads sure were smooth and the traffic amazingly stays in their own lane!! He'd be dead within 20 miles on Chicago, LA, or NY freeways/turnpikes!!

Did I just watch a 15-minute video game or what? Those other vehicles on the road are like motionless. Truly unreal.
