Pretty scary. I remember seeing this when it first came out, I was about 15 and at the time was quite impressed but watching it back now after having a bike for 5 years I find it pretty shocking.

I've not seen this yet but I've just been for a ride out with some mates and I was on a KLE,  brakes were shite and the front felt very odd, I kept thinking the forks were twisted.  Still great fun riding around Kirby Lonsdale near Morecambe. Tge bike was borrowed from a friend so I can't complain. Much. Fantastic roads which blew away.

while putting a video on "youtube" I came across some put on by a guy who was at the same do, that is the"Farmyard Party". He'd put quite a few others on, mainly him on various rides out, nothing mad though, then last year at Squires I saw his name on one of the new seats that are outside.
The last video was of his son, aged about 2 trying his helmet on. Don't know what happened but I'm pretty sure it's the same person, I've Googled his name but nothing came up, but biker deaths don't always make the news, it's so sad.

I love it how he keeps beeping his horn, as if that makes it alright. :eek

It isn't as busy as London though is it, he wouldn't last long there.

I loved the 2.16 bit where he ended up in the wrong line splitting two oncoming cars!

At 3.46 that pedestrian sure got a move on :)

The bar wiggle at 4.42 made me chuckle though, had to do that a few times to get through tight spots.

I would certainly draw the line at the 6.46 manoeuvres, would only take a small clip to send you into someone's bonnet there.

The pavement trip at 7.34 was a bit of a surprise - nothing is stopping this guy! (apart from that being about 10 feet from his destination.

Seriously, this guy's riding is 100% selfish.

However, without condoning it, it isn't without skill. His anticipation seems to good and he's reading ahead quite a bit. His main saving grace as far as I can tell is the complete lack of other idiots on the road (no last minute lane changes etc like you see here).

He wouldn't last 5 minutes in london, where the couriers move like fish, completely at ease in their environment - calm, measured and always at the front of the queue :)

He beeps horn because riders change lanes without signaling and checking mirrors - so they don't turn into him - that's almost obligatory in Serbia if you want to live on a bike. Oh, and it's an XTX supermoto, not a KLE, my bad. I know a guy who rides similarly - 2 kids, 20 years riding - no problems. Good must love lunatics! :)
