Bored the hell out of me!!  I was waiting for something Good to happen and it just seemed like some Blerk trying to be clever and looking like a Twat!

I half expected it to end in tragedy, especially with some poor sod on a zebra, although it did sound as though he clipped a car during filtering....at a ridiculous  speed.

I can remember years ago watching for the first time the French guy doing the same thing around the Boulevard Périphérique
correct me if im wrong but i think he died trying to beat his lap record,  C'est la vie!

Read some of the comments concerning the video....I think that brings home the shear stupidity of it all....the problem is that we are all tarred with the same brush.

Well, whatever we think about his behaviour, I have to say (as someone who rides like a demented arsehole in traffic myself) that his riding skills are pretty bloody impressive.

I concur with GC technically, some very talented riding -  however there is a difference between riding for excitement and acting like a complete dick.  If one watches the clip closely there are any number of opportunities for this egoist to kill someone who would have been minding their own business.

Sadly I observe more and more people who are completely blind to other people's right to go about their business without being interfered with or impeded by someone out on some sort of ego wankfest.

If it's risk and thrills you lack, go gratify yourself somewhere where others are not going to be a made to suffer when you inevitably get it wrong.

onepot, I'm with you 

Been chased by the blueys lots of times, NEVER caught 

They won't do for money what others do for fun

I'm afraid I'm with Steffan. If you want to impress me then do dangerous stuff where you wont orphan children or destroy parents lives etc.
Bikes are fun but risk and excitement should be sought off road somewhere.

If the Police ever chase a rider and don't catch them then they're not using their radios/brains properly... any sort of chase nowadays is filmed and the number plate easily available. They can radio ahead and catch the rider further up the road, or wait at the home address and nab them there.
If you have false/no plates on, then expect huge penalties when they catch you in this country.

I never play in built-up/pedestrian areas, but where there are just cars, trucks etc, then I enjoy myself. Over here it's easier than UK, quiet, twisty roads, cops who are generally more human than the point-searching robots in Gtr Manchester, Cheshire, N. Wales etc.....

Riding like an ar5e is riding like an ar5e where ever it's done. Busy town or country road. Hope you still think it was all 'play' when it does go wrong (which it will one day)

Thought the clip was just plain moronic TBH and switched off once I'd got the jist of it.

Trashed a few bikes, got a few injuries. Part of the game, no risk no thrill. been playing on bikes for over 40 years
