(Not condoning this sort of behaviour of course !)

You're right to condemn it T - thrilling without doubt, but it's the sort of behaviour that gets bikers a bad name and puts many others at risk. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
Shortly after I'd transferred over, my first call to a fatal RTA, as a constable, involved a rider + passenger and a parked (broken down) vehicle.
Speed was the sole factor in the collision, as a result of which the rider was killed instantly (as far as can be ascertained) when their head struck the kerb on the opposite side of the road after being thrown off, the passenger was more fortunate as they survived - albeit with serious, life changing injuries.
The utter emotional implosion of that rider's mother when I broke the news to her and the look of complete devastation on the father's face when he identified his child's body remain in my mind to this day.
Speed in itself isn't a killer; it's the irresponsible use of it in inappropriate circumstances that makes it bite. Road users who display the level of irresponsibility shown in the video clip should be jailed immediately and have their vehicles impounded.

' Hi honey, I'm home'........ 'and the chips are still hot !!'..............(bo***cks...i forgot the salt and vinegar!!')
just humour ........................ you are totally correct Zulu - yes, very impressive riding/driving, but keep it to the race track NOT public highways !!
(do NOT condone this behaviour at all)

Just glad it wasn't this one, as they are bringing out part 2....

That guys main arteries will be seriously stressed due to constant adrenalin overload. I just pray that he's on an empty stretch of highway (both ways!) when he has the inevitable Infarct or Stroke! Assuming of course, he lives that long :-X
