That was insane, aside from having a death wish, that guy had some serious driving skills!

For a good portion from 4:15 onward, the video is sped up and dubbed... clearly, which brings into question the other (less noticeable) parts of the video.

Lame!

Back in my actual volunteer "nark" days:

A motor was stopped by the back of a Chevy suburban. The rider wasn't. He was sent through the back doors, over 2 rows of kids and through the windshield.

Sad for rider's family, yes; but I'm sure the family in the Suburban also has some PTSD because he wanted to ride his bike fast around a corner.

Exactly,

That's what pisses me off about these assholes. I don't need the years of nightmares reliving how I split a human being into pieces with my truck because someone wanted to pull some stunts. You may be prepared for the consequences but I am not.

Very disappointed in that video, here I thought it was going to be about someone riding a motorcycle with a flaming skull.

And that my friends is why decent riders pay a hefty insurance rate for stupid stunts like this. I wonder how these twits would do on a race course with professionals at their side.

My 2 cents

The gerbils are to blame for your high insurance rates.

This guy that wanted to build the most dangerous ( stupidist? )motorcycle ended up with one of the many design flaws being -"gerbilling" (if you hit the brakes )

http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/ ... 3.htm#nils

".......THE OWEN MONOWHEEL AND DIWHEEL: 1998
"Two years ago a Bath University engineering lecturer and Vintage Sports-Car Club stalwart by the name of Dr Geraint Owen reached the inexplicable conclusion that the monowheel was a concept that ill-deserved its place in motoring's bulging "where are they now?" file. To prove the point, he went and built one of his own.

....the only good thing about Owen's first monowheel was that it was too slow to kill either spectators or the rider, and as a result it failed to achieve his bizarre ambition to own "the most dangerous motorcycle ever".

....highlights one of the monowheel's many weaknesses - namely, that if you brake too hard, the inner and outer parts become coupled together, and the rider goes round and round with the wheel. This horrifying possibility has been christened "gerbilling" by Owen's fellow VSCC members. "
