A 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward.

Seems like he’s in a bit of a rush to meet his maker.

Nice video, though.

A dangerous idiot. Trouble is when he turns into torn, chopped, crushed and splattered road kill, he’ll likely involve innocents in the accident and certainly in the cleanup.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

...

*unclench*

That was freaky as Hell, I watched the whole thing. It looked pretty real, real=a very good motorcyclist driving at high speeds through normal everyday traffic. I almost crapped myself somewhere three-fourths the way through having to stop almost getting sandwiched.

Riveting to watch but one has to wonder if the motorcyclist has a death wish. Had one of the hundreds of cars he passed (with inches to spare) moved even a tiny bit, he would have likely been killed in the impact. Apparently Russian traffic police were all off-duty during this ‘commute’.

I agree it was cool but that guy is nuts and has no fear what-so-ever.

He was hamming it up for the camera. What a maroon.
As for me, I never did any of that stupid stuff. Not without a girl on the back...

I think I'll opt for the cellphone, letting whomever know I am running a little late.

The laws of physics can be very unforgiving.

While I’m waiting for the video to load: Last time I was in Thailand, I saw two or three people dead in the road, and those were only little bikes of 125 cc or less.

... Holy crap! I’m almost speechless.

He’s also an idiot.

This is what happens when you run out of milk in the morning and pour Vodka on your Cheerios. I actually feel a little queasy just watching that.

It was interesting to see how much it looked like a city here in the US. It has only been a couple decades since the fall of Communism.

No way would I do that. I bought a new bike back in ‘82, had it for 4 days and got T-Boned by a young lady. I was lucky not a scratch. Flew through the air like Superman, hit the ground and rolled, when I finished rolling I was standing-up looking back at my bike about 100’ back.

So THAT’S what that sort of craziness looks like from the seat of a crotch rocket!

Looks like a simple death wish to me, all he needs is to pre-pay his funeral expenses.

I cannot tell a lie.

That was me on my way to the Livermore Falls VFW. Just tryin' to make the end of Happy Hour! Them others on the road? Just MAholes come up to see the leaves changin'.

Ayuh, town's grown some, I reckon.
