When this guy bites it, and it's a case of "when," not "if" I hope they don't call it an accident.  It should be ruled natural selection....

I don't wish to brag (really I don't) but me and my biking mates used to do that sort of thing all the time (yes, young and stupid! ) and it's really not as dangerous as it looks as long as your focused.

One time (Ben might know the roads) two of my mates and I raced from Strood to Gillingham along normal single carriageways, and never dropped below 90mph the whole time.

Fecking insane and totally stupid, looking back, but being 21 and invincible at the helm of a 900cc Fireblade it was all just a bit of a laugh

That may be, but all it takes is one guy to open a door at the wrong moment.....  so please let me know if you get back into doing that, and what you are riding and I'll try to resist the urge when I see you in my mirror!

Actually that did happen once

I was late picking my then girlfriend up so was doing about 140mph through the Medway tunnel (again Ben might know it), when a girl in a little Renault 5 pulled across TWO empty lanes of traffic and straight into my fast lane

Emergency stops at that speed, are not a comfortable experience in the boxers department

While frankly I'm not a big fan of guys like this keeping insurance rates high for everyone else, I completely understand the level of skill needed to drive like that.  And, if you have the skill, then great.... but do you really want to take a chance on wrecking up when you find out the hard way that not everyone else is watching out for your best interest!

Case in point...

Around here, we call guys who drive like that organ donors. But I can't say too much, I did some stupid things behind the wheel when I was younger. But I stayed away from motorcycles. I'm much too clumsy, hell I couldn't even ride a bicycle very good.
