He looks the part. However, would rather see pic of his bike.

170 is cooking. He’s young, probably decided he was gonna do it, no matter what, even if he ended up a bug splat.

I don’t mind his killing himself on that death trap. It’s the innocent more twists I worry about. I hope he looses his license.

My 1969 Harley starts to rattle when I go too fast... She likes it nice and slow, and so do I. I prefer to get my thrills with my leathers off.

Sounds (and the photo looks) like an adopted guy from Russia. Photo looks Russian too, with perhaps some fetal alcohol syndrome. I'm glad he didn't kill anyone, and hope he can stay safe in the future.

Reminds me of the youtube video of some guy that filmed his commutes on his bike through Moscow. Insane speeds in VERY heavy traffic. Rumor is that he was killed in a wreck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XihQeZpwqpE Hold on to your hat (and lunch) watching the video.

Years ago I saw an online video of them cleaning up a guy clocked at 160 mph who crashed; head,torso,arms, and legs all in different places.

These guys blow by me all the time as I cruise along on my HD Road King.

I understand it says he ran out of gas, but how in the world did they catch him?

I don't care HOW "cool" or fast your crotch-rocket motorcycle is, there's NO WAY it's safe at speeds approaching or exceeding 100mph on public roadways. Sand, oil, gravel, etc. on the street will put you on your ass in a split second and there's no way around it. Race courses are free of debris, roadkill, sand, etc., but public roadways have no such conditions.

Those fools on motorcyles that do these sorts of things have NO BRAINS, and don't know what they're in for until it's too late.

I’ve of the opinion that we ought to give these guys a chance to run their machines.

Not like morons through busy traffic, but by periodically temporarily closing roads (right after major construction finishes where other traffic is already diverted would be ideal) and allowing the public to have an occassional chance to feel some speed, after waivering of course.

More and more racetracks are shutting down, and most of them are filled with sanctioned events that discourage the general public from participating.

There’s a natural desire in many people to see what their machines can do. If we periodically gave them an opportunity, when we could make it reasonably safe for them and the public, ensure they aren’t drunk, and perhaps run a safety check on their equipment, a lot of people wouldn’t find the need to do crazy stuff like this.

I prefer the rockin’ chair situation, kicked back slow putt enjoyin’ the sites and smells of a mountain road. I really feel sorry for those that think speeding through life in all situations is the only way to live.

God gave us windin’ two lanes to enjoy the scenery. Just watch out for the sand and pebbles in the corners.

At 0:48 in this video, the guy is close enough to my house that had he lost it there, pieces of him could have landed in my yard. I heard him passing by.

BTW, the dotted white lines have a reflective button every second stripe. How he kept from losing it while crossing them at that speed is beyond my comprehension.

The carnage that this worthless filthbag could have caused by doing this is incalculable...breathtaking! Twenty years of having worked in a large hospital's ER is what I base this statement upon.I say ten years for this piece of excrement.
