I will be shocked if he's still alive now.

This guy has excellent driving skills and abysmal judgement.

Awesome, yes, from his POV.

If it were me driving the R1 in a car and this dickhead came flying by, I'd hope he'd either crash into a brick wall or get locked up and never touches a bike again.

While one half of me wants to say what an A hole, I must admit, that's some pretty sweet riding.

Undoubtedly skilled but, more so, undoubtedly stupid.

I can't even imagine the adrenalin rush he had,made me so jelous to be honest.

OTOH,I have a serious problem with a-holes dangering people's lives on the roads.I'm cool if they pull stunts like that w/o dangering anyone,but this a-hole dangered tens of people's lives.

Motorcyclists that pull crap like that on public roads present a bad image of the entire motorcycling community to the entire world.

Not that great, he is relying heavily on the forbearance of the other drivers there, but he don't care 'bout them.

If he want's to rag his bike, why isn't he doing this at 3am when no-one is around? He wouldn't get any sympathy from me if he totalled himself and others, none.

One guy like this is always enough for insurance companies to charge unreal fees to motorcyclists, oblivious to hundreds of awful car drivers who can roam around in two tons of barely controlled metal.

Not his brain, though. It's obviously damaged.

I've been riding for decades - lots of us can do that but don't. That's why I'm still able to be here typing. He's just weaving through traffic and lane splitting, he's no stunt rider.

The law of averages will find him sooner or later, I can only hope he doesn't harm anyone else in a vehicle when it does. Those cars are filled with men women and children, his lack of regard for their lives makes every motorcyclist look bad.

Watch a guy on a trials bike if you want to see riding skill

+1 Trials is the real skill.

Also, in the OP's video, you can easily see this guys disregard for everybody's safety. Watch his head in the mirror. He doesn't check behind before changing lanes at all.
