When statistics catch up to this driver
I guess we will not see the video.

This is not a Hang Glider. It's a bunch of Hang Glider parts flying in a tight formation!
rafael,
just think how many people say that when they see a hang gliding video.
Looked absolutely fine to me. (but then I had a couple of crazy years with traffic on my mountain bike)
As for the sliding, those street bikes with the really slack head angle have so little weight on the rear wheel anyway, they slide really easily I'm sure.
Besides his speedo looks like it's in kph.
He's no Valentino Rossi, and neither is he this guy...

I rode a couple bikes from '86 till a couple years ago. I suppose I'm very conservative, but I never wanted to violate traffic laws - particularly in such congested areas. I sometimes liked to go fast (over 100 mph) on nice straight, nearly empty highways. THAT felt like flying a jet fighter to me. Not that I've ever flown a jet fighter!
And, yea, the guy in the vid may have skills, but when you do things other people (drivers) don't expect, then probably sooner than later someone will take you out, without ever seeing you in their way - that is, if you don't just pile into a pole or wall somewhere first. _________________ WW 141 Fusion SP

Just like splittin lanes on the 91. I've never seen pedestrians move that fast in California.
I was thinking the same thing, I was splitting lanes on the 91 freeway from 88 to 1991 as well as some crazy passes on Oretega Hwy, quite a rush.
That dude was good!
Related2 is going to give one hell of a safetly lecture for that video, lol I guess someone has to lookout for us idiots.
i ride my motorcycle everywhere, split lanes rain or shine. at one point not to long ago my front brake piston somehow got dirt and started to bind. it required lots of throttle to keep the bike moving. it was raining that day, 25 miles of splitting lanes on the 405, on the yellow lines. sometimes the front would slide. sometimes the rear would spin, and i wasn't even doing anything. I got home, ripped the brakes apart, did a complete clean and bleed
that was not fun at all
i won't even get into the stupid things ive done on a motorcycle _________________ TSA, DHS, NDAA and SOPA Seig Heil!

That was AAAAAAAWWWWSSSOOMM DUDE! Probably need some help picking up those parts. My neighbor did that in front of me with a passenger on the back. I have never been so close to such a perfect loopout on a streetbike off the side walk with his friend on - the - back. That bike bounced twice, and slid under a parked car. As they went to the bike, one was picking up parts, and the other had to drag the bike back because it was that bent. Showed up no more than a week later with a new faster one.
Thanks for the laugh, and bringing back that memory! _________________ Always a student.
