WoW! Looks like fun, but I value my life too much. All it would take is for someone to make a lane change and your done. Reminds me of a couple video games I've played lol

Yeah that guy is crazy, but I guess he is a stunt driver in Europe or something. here is some stuff he has done!!

[ul][*]In Ghost Rider: The Final Ride, Ghost Rider does a timed run in Sweden from Stockholm to Uppsala (dubbed Uppsala Run, a distance of 68 km or 42.6 miles) in 14m 55s with an average speed of 273.1 km/h (170.1 mph) in heavy traffic. He breaks his own record in Uppsala Run 2 (Ghost Rider Goes Crazy in Europe) with a faster bike by a mere two seconds (14m 53s) with even heavier traffic present. [/ul]
[ul][*]In Ghost Rider Goes Crazy in Europe, Ghost Rider does a timed run in Paris, France on the Paris Peripherique (French term for ring road/beltway) and completes the circuit with an elapsed time of 9m 57s. This was done as a tribute to a French street racer going by the alias "Le Prince Noir" (Black Prince) who completed the circuit on his motorcycle in 11m 04s in 1989. The times are not comparable however due to Black Prince's being obtained in heavy traffic with daylight and Ghost Rider's being obtained with very little traffic at night and with the latter rider utilizing a more powerful and capable machine than Le Prince Noir. [/ul]
[ul][*]Also in Ghost Rider Goes Crazy in Europe, Ghost Rider does a timed run in the Netherlands from Rotterdam to Amsterdam (a distance of approximately 70 kilometers) in 20m 32s. [/ul]

People like that **** me off. They have no consideration for others. If they hit someone else going that fast, they could kill someone else just as easy as they would kill them selves.

I was coming on from a vacation a couple years back and there were these idiots doing that same thing down the highway. They flew by me doing at least 120mph, weaving in and out of traffic. I said to my wife, those guys are idiots driving like that, someone is going to get hurt. Not even 10 minutes later we run into a traffic jam on the same highway, I didn't even put two and two together till I seen a car on the side of the road with the drivers side door slammed in and pieces of bike all over the place. We drive up a little farther and all the bikers are pulled over, the one who hit the car was laying on the ground. All I could see was the whole right side of his leg was ripped off. The guy was being a dumb *** and now he probably will never ride a motor cycle again. He's lucky it wasn't worse.
