I hope that guy plows himself into a pillar. Lord knows how many accidents he's caused other people to get into by freaking them out/distracting them.

Well at least he's probably good at what he does. I've gotten into trouble doing MUCH less risky things as a teenager.

Going backwards through the drive through for the win!

Man, they are so of the widest road lanes I have ever seen. How do you ever managed to have accidents. There's 25 feet of space either side of your car!!

That's a horrible thing to say! Can you not see how badly that would screw up traffic? They'd have to block off several lanes for hours just to clean up the body parts and blood.

Looks like a perfectly great way to kill an innocent family of 5. This is beyond reckless operation, it is public endangerment. I was sad to see it ended without his body parts spread over the next 20 acres.

That looks like a typical run to Daytona

Check Youtube for the Ghostrider videos. He's a european rider who used to race at the Isle of Mann. The first thing he does is gets the police to chase him

Looks like a perfect time to test the brakes on my truck or change a few lanes.

There is a place to push the limits, to test man and machine. It's called a race track. Corner runouts, protective gear, experienced riders, regulation, and it's actually enjoyable for the rider and spectator. Doing this on the street (in traffic) shows little regard for the safety of others, and these guys deserve to have their asses kicked.

I dont ride or condone riding like that on the street. I've done it to SOME extent when I had my crotch rockets. I'm sure that most have carved through traffic. But I have a family so.........

The thing is, after seeing it a MILLION times and experienced it myself...... The biker is usually long past the car or cars that he startles or scares off the road. To them, it's really like driving quickly through a series of parked cars. And yes, some endup eating the guardrail or catching the corner of a car. It's never a pretty sight All but the tourists in Florida are used to it, especially during the Daytona weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's been charged already based on the video or if he's dead. That's one of the dumbest things I've seen.

One of the comments on the vid says that the grim reaper has a bike just as fast, if not faster. Gave me a hilarious visual in the noggin.

At the speeds he's going, it only takes one little piece of debris, one road gator, one chunk of broken concrete, one pothole, one crooked pavement seam, one chunk of rusted tailpipe, to make this guy stop living. At those speeds, it is SOOOO easy to instantly lose control and die. Forget the dodging in and out of traffic, it's the road debris that's gonna kill him.


And whipping between two cars right next to each other.... by the time a typical driver notices, he'll already be ten car lengths ahead! Forget noticing him in your mirrors! You'll never see him coming!
