What a bulb.

And the Police can't identify these cretins ¿ because ? . . .

 its american

the police there have more important things to do all day than surf youtube

however from what ive read more and more of these "heros" are turning up embedded in cars and trucks so the police have to spend more time scraping them up ...

poetic justice in a way !

I just watched the whole thing and he didn't die, i am very disappointed.

I'd never wish i'll of another rider, even a couple of peanuts like these two. But I am disappointed that we can't announce that they were penalized for their part in destroying the reputation of motorcyclist the world over.

Down here in Victoria, Australia we are fighting a loosing battle with our government who continually labels motorcyclists as 'hoons'. Groups like Motorcycle Riders Association Victoria a working tirelessly with our ministers for transport in the hopes of saving our right to ride. 

Each one of these videos that go viral, as entertaining as they are, just provide further ammunition to those who wish to take away our right to ride. 

Free cheers for track ride day videos and shame to those who post public road abuses like this.

Total Arseholes .. Just giving ammo to the anti-biker lobby ....

Guys guys guys, this loser will come unstuck, that we can be certain of. Yes he would give the anti bike lobby more ammo, but even the most retarded of those would understand 99.9% of us dont drive anything like this tool.

to a greater or lesser extent, motorcycling is a Darwinian process. He will hopefully never pass his genes to the world.

Surely you can't survive for long riding like that.
Impressive wheelies though.
Was expecting a big off,feel a bit cheated.

these guys are obviously not noobs, on the whole pretty good riding skills, nobody killed /injured its only when riders who are less skillful attempt to ride beyond their skill level that the tradgedies happen, isn't it about time we punished people for what they do rather than what MAY have happened

Posted: 27/07/2010 at 23:15

so it's ok to allow that kind of riding, because no-one got hurt? yes I'm jealous that I can't hook a wheelie like that, but if we all rode like total twats there would be anarchy on the roads. Motorcyclists will always be branded as bad boys (and girls) but this does fuel the anti bike lobby, then they'll start talking about power limits again.

It would be nice to think that the world would embrace and love us bikers if we took it easy, and the insuracne companies would lower our rates if we all wore our gear, and the cops would not jack with us if we behaved.

Fact is we will always be "biker scum" and no amount of placation will change that.  Hated by cagers, cops and boned by insurance cos. till the end!

Hoistem high gents withot your helmets!  Vid on and I'll live through you!  HEHEHE

Good good gooooood riding!!!!!

True.. they're riding way over the limits of the road but look at this video for what it is.... 2 guys riding bikes with more skill than a lot of people who spend too much time bitching everyone else to make up for the exitement shortfall in their own pinned-down sad lives!!

GET OUT AND RIDE!!!

Wheelies and speed forever.. but preferably on track!!!! hee haaa! :)

bRILLIANT STUFF, FUCK THE POOOOOLICE

I was waiting for a crash on that one and thank God they didn't. Bad as it may be those guys can ride. I just wish they would take it to a deserted highway or better yet a track day. But I'm afraid the rush and the audience wouldn't be big enough for these guys. But everyone makes a mistake and I hope these guys don't hurt anyone else when they make theirs.

Pretty good machine control, but this is not a demonstration of skill but of extremely stupid riding. My guess is that they have either not got a motorcycle licence or have not had one for very long. To rely on all other road users not making a sudden lane change or doing anything else unexpected just shows a lack of experience and imagination about what may happen. Keep on riding like this and they will end up dead or paraplegic, and everyone else's insurance rates will just keep on rising.
When the inevitable crash happens, someone will probably try to blame the other guy for not checking his mirrors or indicating, but part of staying alive on two wheels is accepting that things like that happen. Not defending it, but we don't live in a perfect world and it will always happen and if we want to stay alive we must accept that it does and ride appropriately.
