Mad Russian biker

Turn on the sound/full screen and hold onto your seat as you watch this , during a morning rush-hour commute... It's a motorcycle ride like you have never seen before... The rider is NUTS, and it can only be hoped that he carries an organ donor card, because his time is coming soon...

I can't really put my reaction on here I'd get banned!

Anyone who has been to Moscow will know that it's dangerous enough driving at 20mph through the city let alone those insane speeds!

As someone said in the comments, can't wait for part II 'The Crash' unless he's already dead.....

Video doesnt work for me. Even "after the jump"

Love that! But as stated, its only matter of time before he tries to squeeze through a gap to small or a car switches lane leaving him no where to go.

That is why I dont and never will own a bike, as its highly likely id be posting a video of the UK version! LOL

Got it working...... CRAZY BA****D

A madman asking to make an early exit from life.

It's quite addictive to watch though!


lotusmadandy - 7/1/11 at 10:28 AM

This was posted last year on numerous forums, and after a bit of detective work it seems the video has been speeded up quite a bit in places (check speed of car indicators etc). Still a bit of a mentalist though.

OMG!

I've been riding bikes for more than 30 years and I've never seen anything like it!

I can only presume the guy has a terminal illness and just doesn't care anymore. Either that or he is now going out with my ex girlfriend and has lost the will to live!


Strontium Dog - 7/1/11 at 11:04 AM

DP oops!

A tripple post with half hour between them!? thats a winner!


richard thomas - 7/1/11 at 07:21 PM

I know it was speeded up a bit in places, and that it's incredibly irresponsible to say this, but...I was quite impressed with that in places....wish my reactions were quite as good as his(hers?), death wish or not....am I the only one?


RK - 8/1/11 at 12:33 AM

I wonder when the funeral was?


skodaman - 8/1/11 at 01:01 AM

He was just in steady touring mode.


scootz - 8/1/11 at 09:51 AM

NOTHING he did in that video was difficult.

Mental.. yes! Skillful... no!


T66 - 8/1/11 at 10:36 AM

Anyone who rides a motorcycle can ride it like that....



just most of us still have the relevant brain juice to stimulate the fear gland, and consider it wouldnt be funny to die or take out others while having "fun".....



I can understand why we watch these vids, but I have no admiration for his skills on a bike, as far as I am concerned he is a biff.







Humbug - 8/1/11 at 10:56 AM

Even if it has been speeded up, he's definitely something that rhymes with "Lucking Foony"


Mark Allanson - 8/1/11 at 11:01 AM

Getting around Cornwall in the summer can be very frustrating, and a fair percentage of biker do drive approaching that manner, and due to the high accident rate, the local police have a THINK BIKE campaign - LIKE IT IS THE CAR DRIVERS FAULT!

Wheelying is most definiately a skill.
Most definately a difficult skill to aquire.
Judging gaps and widths to squeeze through is a skill.
Not difficult, but certainly a skill.
