    Thanks, jayjacinto! That is one hell of a machine and driver! I have to wonder about his choice of where to drive like that. One butthead car driver ad he would have been history!

    Some would look at it as one mistake by a butthead motorcyclist and someones family member could be fighting for their life. Has anyone ever looked at the pictures of the bikes that almost cut cars in half?

    The guy does have skill but its not really the right place for it.

    It looks like it could be Europe because of the plates. If that is the case it could be a no speed limit road but its still a risk to everyone on that road.

    It actually is europe. And he already wrecked several 'turbobusas' so that bike isnt the original. There are videos of him being chased with cops, luckily in their country there are no aerial units. I admit its not safe for me to watch his videos, because it sticks on my mind and I always get carried away when I drive. So my advise to his fans, do not drive a bike right after watching his videos.

    And here's one wholesome example from ghostrider himself

    Thanks! That guy must really have a deathwish! I loved speed when I was young but I had zero affinity for broken bones, pain and money to restore a dead bike!

    Never really seen much of a drag race between bikes. Shape of the bikes were so different. Really fast bike in the video. Anybody know what tv channel these races would be on?

    Hayabusa. Wow. They are impressive. Not my style but, wow. And no I do not ride like that. I do not even want to. At my age I am well aware of my mortality and well aware of the dark side of riding. A relatively new rider I know of last year almost got himself killed with a novice mistake. It went bad. Yeah too much can go wrong too fast.
    But that bike is impressive. Not exactly a beginner ride IMHO.

    Impressive bike, but I bet an electric bike could take it.
    Check this one out at 6.94 seconds over the quarter mile.


    Creepy quiet isn't it?
