Misc / Open / Moscow Ring Road on a Yamaha R1 - The Black devil
« on: August 14, 2011, 09:28:19 AM »
I've just seen this , sent to me by a friend
I'm not sure if he's irresponsible or reckless or simply just mad!
he's certainly got balls made of steel?...titanium if its stronger!
I was always taught to ride on the assumption "treat everyone else on the road as a complete idiot.....that way if they do something unexpected you won't be surprised!"
He's obviously got no regard for the other drivers safety or indeed his own!
This guy, clearly believes EVERYONE on the road will NOT turn into his path, change lanes unexpectedly or even open a car door....
On the various comments of the video on you tube and elsewhere (where I saw it) it mentions he's doing 87KPH on average (54mph) worryingly he's obviously done it before
It does promote the question. Don't they have Police in Moscow? they obviously don't have cameras like we do!
having said all that I must confess I find the video strangely addictive, (I could never ride like that) but in a sense you have to admire his ability to make split second decisions, even when there doesn't seem to be any seconds left to decide! then picking his way through the traffic, and fitting his bike through some unbelievably narrow gaps between cars....(especially after the 4 minute mark)

Worth a watch, but I won't be trying to emulate him......I'd like to live another day or a few more decades yet at least....something i think the black devil will not be doing.......
Anyway good music...I think it comes from the Matrix!
