Black Devil - Hi-Speed Moscow Ride on R1

[ahtsay]

I think he clipped a car at around 5:15....

[salilus]

He's not long for this world.

There are stupid riders and old riders, but no old stupid riders. I'm glad I got out of street riding when I did.

[carter300]

At 3mins into video, I think the bike vibrated a few more screws loose.

Today's street racer is tomorrows organ donor! That guy is gonna get killed.... I got NO issue with haulin the mail, but thats for the track.

If there is enough left to harvest organs. I have a couple of friends whose sons have been killed because they thought they were invincible and Albuquerque was their race track. I spent many years convincing my son that young people die also. So far my efforts have worked.

Wonder if this moron is still alive as I type this?

When I lived in Albuquerque it was the drunk ( people) that one needed to be mindful of not the normal traffic. But that was a few years ago.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss my R1.

[never rode crazy like that, though!]

If I was a rider on that cycle, I would have had to ask to be left off about 30 seconds into it...I'd have to clean my drawers.

Suspicion of certifiable insanity aside, it struck me as very Zen-like. He's definitely riding in the moment and just letting things flow.

Even with his obvious skill, there were dozens of split-second opportunities to think too long and die as a result of the delay.

[GForceLizard]

Amazing skill combined with no fear. I kept waiting for the crunch or side swipe.

For all the folks who cringe at the thought of riding motorcycles and find themselves constantly pointing out the dangers of riding, this is exactly the safest way to ride. IF you ride offensively based on the situation you are riding into at a pace faster than the surrounding traffic, you have made your decision, executed it and passed the situation far in advance of it affecting you. In a nutshell he is controlling the OODA loop and until someone interrupts his loop or executes their loop faster, he's fine.

Safest way to ride.....

The reaction to other drivers to this guys riding is the bigger problem. They see him screaming down the street.. and react to get out of the way (needing to or not).. and cause an accident..

Dave,

Yes, bad for them and other drivers, but not the least bit dangerous to him

Merlin,

15 years of screaming through traffic with lights and siren accident free can't be wrong

Wow. Just Wow.

[Graham Smith]

Sent this link to a friend who rode amature moto-cross back before there were real dirt bikes. He said he almost threw up watching it.

[AlamoShooter]

And That! is why my wife asked me not to ride a bike when we got married.

She saw me behind a boat with out skis

See the lights and sirens make a difference The lights and sirens interrupt the other drivers OODA loop, which if they were executing something, it doesn't really kill anyone if they hit light or sound. Without them, finding out that they beat you to the A part of the loop because you were nowhere nearby when the O  part happened could be really painful.

I especially liked the wheelies when he was on the wrong side of the road.
