EDIT: WHY DOES YOUTUBE EMBEDDING NEVER WORK!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XihQeZpwqpE&\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XihQeZpwqpE&

Whilst I appreciate the skill of the guy and it was really entertaining to watch, I do think he is pr1ck for doing it. He only needs to plow into the side of a turning car to kill whatever is in it

He deserves to die riding like that, but he'll kill someone else first

That guy should've gone and bought a lottery ticket after that. He was seriously lucky!!

Oi whats this associating me with silly Crotch Rockets...


It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Everything I hate about bikers right there condensed into 6.38 minutes.

Absolute wanker, hope that when he does kill himself - real soon riding like that - he does it without involving anyone else.

why do some bikers think they are exempt from the same rules as the rest us?

You know those signs that say "THINK BIKE" ? Well the amount of bikers that I have had traveling way to close to the back corner of my car, then overtaking way too close and braking in-front of me because they have no-where to go. Then the pr1cks who generally use the road network like a race circuit - knee-down around round-a-bouts with no indicators, flat out on straights, no lights on, twats riding over the centre line in the road just so they can filter past a few cars etc. They get way to much sympathy, those signs should be directed at the bikers and read "THINK CAR".

Saying that, there are the sensible dudes out there who just like bikes and watching them ride you can tell they are well trained and over-take with ease whilst most importantly - causing no hassle with other road users.

I agree, I've got a few mates with bikes now - it must be a middle aged thing - and they all ride sensibly. If thec traffic is stopped they accept that it means they have to stop too. I hate the muppets who weave in and out of traffic just to gain an extra couple of minutes on their day the same as I hate car drivers who do it

It's war out there

I'm glad that I had over 30 years of reasonable driving, todays gridlock, frustration and anger ruins driving

Looking objectively and completely ignoring any environmental factors, we can't continue to add vehicles to our roads

May be we'll all have computer controlled mobile Pods, but there won't be any fun in that

One way or another we should know by the time I need to reapply for my driving licence

Then you'll have the geeks hacking into the program to gain an extra bit of power

no disrespect to any geeks reading this, I'll be first in the queue to have my pod tweaked

looks like my daily journey.........
