Default Guy on a motorcycle tries to keep up with a Vette

Vette leaves him for dead, much to his surprise.

That guy on the MC is an ***-hat. I've seen his other videos where he is weaving in/out, driving dead into traffic in the wrong lane, and passing on the shoulder, etc...

Yes, the Vette dusted him.

The dumb @$$ on the motorcycle is an idiot!. Riding like that, he is going to either kill himself of someone else.

Dangerous driving. Only hope that when the accident happens...and it will...that he doesn't take an innocent person wth him.

I think those cars he passed were turning left; its common to pass on the right in areas like that in many parts of the country. In Michigan where I grew up there were often small patches of asphalt laid across from driveways just for the purpose...if they were NOT turning; then yeah, A$$ hat

Great vid. If it was on a track. This is dumb and dumber. Both are stupid. Just hope they don't take out innocent bystanders when they become white sheets.

This is the kind of jerk whose next-of-kin (because he'll be dead) will have their lawyers all over somebody for a) stopping too quickly or b) turning right when their idiot son thought they were going to turn left, or c) whatever and he gets creamed into the side of a car or truck or tree.

You could spring for a faster bike and an armored vest for the clown! What do you want to bet he's not an organ donor?

This kinda happened to me last week. I was going home from a night of dinning with my girlfriend and an R1 kept playing with me (in Mexico) . We end
Did up next to each other at a stop light and hit it. I pulled crazy on him and at about 85mph I was a good car ahead, car in his lane ahead and he decided to shift into my lane , but he just assumed I was behind him... I was not! I thought for sure he was going to hit my rear quarter and just at the very last millisecond he swerved back into his lane. When I realized what was going to happen I braked hard and even so was still where he would hit me. In hind site I would not of hit it at all, but I did and braking and letting off might of been the wrong thing to do as my girlfriend said I should have kept on it as he would have been behind me at the time of intersection...live and learn.. won't do that again.

Well, it sounds like the bike was maybe a 600, maybe. Now, I love my base c6, but my Hayabusa would have smoked that Z. Now, a vette that can do better than 9.6 in quarter, then it would be close. Also, in the curves if damp, the bike becomes quite slippery as it only has 2 tires or about 75% less rubber to the road and would be handicapped there, but in the straights or dry road, see ya!! Any lane crossing even a little becomes very dangerous for anyone, especially bikes. On Mulholland drive in the Los Angeles mountains, there is a wreck due to some idiot in a car crossing the yellow line on a regular basis. I would never drive like the guy in this video or as everyone said he was driving. I also don't wheelie, just get on it now and then, just like I do the vette.
