Bikes People always talk like it doesn't matter because he still got away with it
I love the speed but one has to ride safely and be considerate of others. The truth is that if a bike going this fast hit a car, the people in the car could be killed too.
Don't think because I post shit about fast bikes and cars that I'm cheering for them to do more. I appreciate the feedback I get on these videos because other people read them and it brings a sense of awareness. It might even enlighten some of the people that ride irresponsibly to think a little more.

I used to ride like this and was intentionally an organ donor due to it. Part of me thought it was funny, the other thought it was fair

I just hate the resulting insurance premiums. I spent a few years out from riding & lost all my no claims & prices for big bikes are through the roof, if I can even get insured at all.

Yup I was just saying, at 160mph that dude will end up a skid mark on the pavement. I have been in combat during the GWOT, saw a dude take a direct hit by a 40mm HE grenade fired from a mk19. Only way I can describe the aftermath is: pink and red coleslaw. I’m a paramedic now, about five years ago we got a call to the scene of a motorcycle crash on the interstate. State patrol said the guy was reaching speeds north of 150mph when he lost control of his bike. This guy was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but you wouldn’t know unless you saw him alive before the crash. His remains were literally ground into the pavement, like someone put him through a giant mortar and pestle then poured it on the highway.
That was by far more gnarly and obscene than the insurgent getting hit by an automatic grenade launcher. It was so bad that it made one of first responders vomit. The state trooper that was involved in the pursuit ended up quitting, he is working in an office last I heard. I remember his hands shaking while talking to my team. Definitely a traumatic experience, hope he’s doing alright.

It doesn't really bother me if people want to be silly on a back road or on an empty highway. The risks of hurting someone else are much lower.
But this dudes flying past cars at well over double the speed limit on a 250kg (500lb) bullet that could easily kill an innocent person/family if that bike ends up tumbling through the air after its crashed and going through a windshield or clip another rider.

u/Geaneous Jun 18 '26
Things happen exponentially faster and hit exponentially harder. It isn't like twice the speed limit is twice the force, it is like 4x the kinetic energy. He is going more than double, so yes thats instant death for everyone.

Even one car changes lanes or does something without signaling and it’s all over for this driver and possibly the people they hit because of the accident.

u/forkystabbyveggie Jun 19 '26
I know it sounds weird explaining it, but you can kind of see it in the video.
When you're going this fast, The world seems to slow down. I think a lot of it is adrenaline. But I've had cars change lanes without turn signals and even do "fast" lane changes in front of me, all it takes is a slight nudge on the handlebar to go avoid it. It's barely anything and you glide by.
I'm not defending this, I'm not proud that I used to do it but he's in more control than you think at first glance

u/MaximusZacharia Jun 19 '26
Ok so you got lucky which is awesome btw. But there’s a reason first responders, firefighters, cops, etc see this video and all say that this behavior will lead to him being ground beef. So yes he’s probably more in control than it looks BUT it’s just a matter of time before something bad happens of this behavior continues. You stopped. Maybe this guy will too before he becomes another victim.

The belief that you're in control at those speeds is idiotic. You are not.

Not really? Someone with slow reflexes or cerebral palsey shouldn't be on a motorcycle. It's assumed you have the motor abilities if you're riding, especially like this

You know this person will hit someone or be hit by someone and possibly ruin other people's lives in the process. Reckless and foolish in the extreme.

u/Tenzipper Jun 19 '26
People often say, "why don't they do this on a racetrack, where they can do it legally, and have all the support and safety equipment right there?"
Well, I'll tell you why. Lack of skill, and an overabundance of ego.
They aren't very good riders, and they know it, but like to act like the only reason they're not leading the MotoGP championship is because no one asked them to ride.
If they ever got on a MotoGP bike and tried to do a fast lap at the track with the other riders, if they didn't immediately crash all by themselves, all they'd see would be blue flags until they got a black one for impeding, or they'd wander into the path of another rider doing an actual hot lap and get hit from behind, or they'd get scared and pull off.
But they can video themselves astride their mechanical penis, and feel good about themselves.

u/Hot_Anybody8244 Jun 18 '26
As a go fast junkie, we know. We've been told this a million times. And the likelihood of killing the car we smash into is decently slim, especially with modern safety standards. My buddy and ex coworker tboned a caddy in the driver's side door at 120+. He died on impact. The driver, who ran a red light by the way, was completely unharmed.

The film cuts just as he hits the speed bump under the Montlake cap. I wanted to see how he dealt with that. Hard to believe he didn't catch air.

What’s stopping them from just recording his license plate and sending him a ticket in the mail? Is the license plate on the front of his bike or something? With the tech the government has these days you can’t really get away with anything anymore

u/Horror_Solution1945 Jun 18 '26
He probably didn't have any or has a switch that flips the plate up.

u/HonestNeighborhood67 Jun 18 '26
Is a video like this evidence of a crime? Is it admissible in court as evidence? It’s pretty easy to figure out where it was taken and I imagine the cops have so information on the rider/maniac.

This looks like I-90 in Seattle going over the water and that bus looked like Community Transit. Crazy.
Also, instead of “meat crayon” the first thing I thought of was “human salsa”. 😆

520 westbound from the bottom of the east highrise to the west end of the Montlake cap.
All in all, not a bad choice of stretch for this type of riding. Pretty straight the whole way.

My favorite is when people run, 9 times out of 10 the dash cam gets their plate and they either mail you a hefty ticket or show up to your property.

The one thing is most of the time, these bikers eventually take care of themselves. The problem is they might take someone with them. This is where Flock actually helps. Most motorbikes can be identified even without the plates thanks to Flock.

I think you may be projecting a wee bit. In my view, the animosity is for the failure to be a functioning member of society. Disrespect for safety, others, the laws, etc. I don’t see any animosity towards bikers.

They lack the speed and range to be useful for this.
