very dangerous. just takes one car not signaling that they are shifting lanes and your done. he did alot of heavy accelerating as well.. very impressive regardless but dangerous as shit. if he continues to do this, i guarantee he will be road kill.

this. on my way up to philly today there were several bikes weaving in and out of traffic, and that's exactly what i thought.

1 car doing a lane change w/o signaling and they'd be toast. i'd never do this on my bike.

That how many ride bikes in the rest of the world beside North America. It is not that scary once you are use to it. And, it look like they sped the vid up to get the speed effect.

I don't know if they speed up the video or not, but his speedometer cracks 120mph a couple times. He doesn't appear to be getting everything he can out of the V-Rod he's riding, if you watch the tach he tends to stay in the 5k to 8k range, and never once hits the rev limiter.
The rider posted over at the V-Rod forums, I think he said that was shot in Athens. And yes, he's a squid and an future organ donor.

The fact he didn't die has 100% to do with luck and nothing to do with his riding competence.

Scroll to 8:02 and you'll see his true skill (lack thereof); fast on straights and slow in corners = squid.

The bike he's on has a 32 degree lean angle, you just can't put it over very far without grinding parts of. He's still a squid though.

That vid makes me wish my bike had a hydraulic clutch. Looks so easy to pull.

I thought hydraulic was pretty much the standard on newer bikes? If it's not, that would mean Harley had an innovation, and I flat out refuse to believe that.

n/m it's Greece lol

Europe is a safer place to ride when doing that kind of stuff though "lane splitting" etc. People are much more aware of bikes and are pretty courteous. In Poland people will actually part ways to give you space when stopped at an intersection so you can go up into the front. Everyone knows bikes ride faster than cars.

I actually tried going up in front of someone last year when I got my bike here in Toronto. We were stopped at a light, just me and the minivan up in front of me. When I went in front the guy started honking at me like a crazed madman. I wanted to get off my bike and beat the shit out of him right there.

Wow... that guy is very trusting of strangers.

I was thinking precisely the same thing.

Very cool to watch, but I'm not sure how brilliant any of this really is.

Where was this though?

edit: never mind, I think it's Greece?

I spent some time driving around in Paris, the bikers there are nuts too. They expect cars to move over to make room for them to get by, & they'll kick your doors on the way by if they feel you haven't given them enough courtesy.

Couldn't get away with that here. Eventually someone would either run you down or shoot you. A guy down the street from me lost a leg when he pissed off an F-150 on his motorcycle. He cut the F-150 off when someone (supposedly) merged into his lane, and the F-150 started driving aggressively towards him. He took off but the F-150 saw him on the service road a few days later and rammed him.

I'll see if I can find the newspaper article...

^ That's sad people are like that here, it almost seems unreal but I believe it, and I also see the road rage in people here, even when I'm riding normally.

Eh? Speaking of poorly educated, how many grammatical errors can you make in a paragraph? There are unskilled, overconfident, or otherwise oblivious drivers pretty much everywhere.

Considering I only see one, your attempt at trolling fails pretty miserably.

Though you do have a reputation for sub-par to uphold, I suppose. Congratulations, dickhead!

The motherfucker driving the F-150 should be shot in the head repeatedly until his tiny little brain is all over the wall.

People are a tad more subtle around here but it's generally equally as bad. Off the top of my head I routinely hear about people being followed to a bar/restaurant/whatever and coming out to find the bike knocked straight over. A few times drunken rednecks will just follow you home and assault you.

We have some really crazy fucks here.

haha I totally loled at the beginning when the guy in red was still next to him. Some people go quite literally insane on a motor bike, they just do totally crazy things.

Attempt at trolling? Your first post in this was a wide-swathed insult to a country that has far and away the most members here. Is that not the definition of trolling, considering the context of this thread? I've driven in Mexico, Canada, the UK, and France, and I don't consider any country to have a stranglehold on poor drivers. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of drivers in all of those countries are very good, it's just that the poor ones stand out so obviously.

Direct insults are also not acceptable behavior in the garage, if you can't be civil, GTFO.

The funny thing in that video is the sense of him wanting all the tiny scooters to GTFO of the way lol.

Dunno when you started making the rules but.. oh, wait! You don't!

Listen, crybaby, go whine to daddy mod if it makes you feel better. You nitpicked my post for grammar for christs sake, some e-thug you are dude.

1) Nobody gives a shit where you've driven.
2) Your apparent lack of reading comprehension is pretty comical. Was progressing in the public education system beyond fourth grade too challenging for you? What the fuck is, and I quote

Speaking of poorly educated, how many grammatical errors can you make in a paragraph? .

if not a dictionary definition of a "direct insult"? Just because you don't use those nasty potty mouth words doesn't change the fact that it is what it is, and my reply to you was simply a retort. Fucking deal with it; when you're done crying you can resume being an obnoxious bitch if you want, I pretty much expect it anyway so I won't be surprised.

In the future, if you aren't prepared to defend yourself beyond crying like a little girl about how my mean old words made your poor Christian sensibilities butt-hurt, don't insult someone in the first place. If you intend to dish it out, be prepared to accept it in return or don't fucking open your mouth to begin with.

P.S. Kindly take your own advice, "GTFO" (which isn't a word, grammar Nazi).

I can't believe I've just read this. Saga, chill out with the extreme aggression. I'm not sure other members appreciate all the F-Bombs either. Pull it back a FEW notches please. Keep it civil. The posts in this thread will be placed under moderation review.

My initial response was to your troll post slamming an entire nation of drivers in the first place. I'd call it out all the same if you bashed everyone in any country.

I've gone over your posts, and you're overwhelmingly one of the most hostile and unhelpful members here. Your post above is par for your course. There's nothing to 'dish out', we in the garage have a pretty solid track record of focusing on being helpful, discussing things with other enthusiasts, and generally being good guys. I don't think a single other member here would miss you if you fell off the earth.

Edit : I've got thicker skin than you think, I'm not really bothered personally by your insults because I know you'd have to be insane to say them in person, it's you who's being an 'e-thug'. The point is, we don't need your kind of incessant trolling and flying insults in the garage. Crawl back to OT or P&N if you're going to continue with it.

Arkaign, next time use the report post function instead of returning fire. It only escalates...... whatever this is...

I dare say you confuse brutal honesty and highly opinionated with hostile and unhelpful. But considering your track record of opinions and observations being complete bullshit, I'm gonna let it all slide.

You aren't the internet police. Kindly shut the fuck up and mind your own business.
