Yes, his driving was crazy dangerous, but not as dangerous as it would be in the US or Canada.
The average skill level of the other drivers in this vid is 2 or 3 times better than it is in the US. For example, did you notice when he in the opposing traffic lane (actually just over the double yellow), that the opposing traffic moved over a bit to make room for the motorcyclist? In the US, most of the other drivers would ONLY hit the brakes, nearly guaranteeing that a high-speed frontal collision would occur, and several people would die needlessly.
It's amazing what you can learn when you really look carefully... and you've spent a couple years driving in a foreign country.

Dude is nuts, noticed he has modded the mirrors and I would assume fairings and pegs to be as narrow as possible.
Clipping a mirror at those speeds would be ugly. hopefully when that happens that video will get posted as well heh
Interesting to watch though, thanks

Not impressed. Doing wheelies at 80mph in the oncoming traffic lane?? Don't care if it's USA or Russia, no commuter is prepared for that kind of reckless driving.
I have had enough friends killed and seriously injured in motorbike accidents and they were not to blame. That driver needs to be measured for a casket.
It's one thing to risk your own life and another to pose a danger to other people in public. How many young motorcycle drivers are going to try to make this kind of video?
Do we not have forum rules about posting street racing videos? This is not what I expect in a roadracing forum....

Radical Dude I don't think I'd question his riding skill, but he does seem to have a need to work on his driving line. 
Wonder if he is still around??
