Squid saves huge tankslapper

He'll be needing a new pair of tracksuit bottoms...

THIS Ninja rider looked destined for a Darwin Award. 

Dressed in just a t-shirt, trackies, trainers and eschewing gloves, he is the true definition of a squid.

And after hitting a pothole at 130mph and launching into a huge tankslapper he looked certain to crash. 

But somehow he managed to hold on to the bucking ZX-6R and bring it back under control, performing what is arguably one of the best saves we've seen so far this year. 

Bravo, squid. Now go buy yourself some leathers - and probably a new pair of pants too...
