What he did will definately divide opinions. The title translation is "a couple of minutes of my life could be more interesting than the whole life of the other people"

What a waste. He won't even be eligible for a darwin award, since that one's already been done... At least he survived it, giving him a chance to reconsider.
You think that's good check out BlackPrince Paris ringroad. He filmed this video and tried to go faster the next time and was killed. It's years old, he's on a GSXR1100. it's something they do in Paris they have to do a lap of the the Paris ringroad as fast as they can in rush hour.......... Mental but the man had skill.
Bikers eh......
This one was fimed in '76 in Paris early in the morning.
Supposedly filmed in a merc 6.9 with the v12 soundtrack dubbed over from the filmmakers ferrari as the suspension was too stiff to give a good picture.
If you haven't seen it before.........enjoy.
That biker... man... I don't know if am impressed with the level of skill... or enraged by the level of stupidity - all at the same time. I thought he was going to snuff it a few times.
some people climb buildings/cliffs without ropes, others base jump/sky dive etc... this is just the same thing, taking a risk for a buzz, i can understand peoples disappointment about dis regard for other road users but hell, both the videos posted above are un real, and no one hurt. how many accidents are caused each day on our roads by people just not paying attention???
one thing for certain is these two are paying full attention .

In terms of the adrenaline rush, I agree.
However, if a free climber or jump/sky diver gets it wrong, they typically only kill themselves. If those motorcyclists had got it wrong it could easily have become an accident involving and injuring others.
I have no problems with people doing things that are dangerous to themselves or with others who understand the risks (I like shooting and track days for example - although not at the same time). If however it appreciably increases the risk to bystanders - like these bikers - then it's inconsiderate and stupid.
Nice bike skills though.
Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...
Ghost rider did the black princes' time in as i recall, but he is supreme. Getaway in stockholm along with ghost rider are unequalled and it tickles me that people beleive they can do it without thought and preparation.
