not good in my opinion, very good rider no doubt but gives the wrong people amo to slag of bikers & when you highlight certain roads coppers will be out to catch bikers on that road to show something is being done. Prob not every one agrees with me but I don't think we should be highlighting that we all ride like we are on a track though every now & again you just can't resist!

im in mixed views on this, great riding for sure,and deffo a time and a place, if roads are empty and you can see for miles in front then yes deffo open your bike up and have a great time, but for that speed and saftey, and more than likely to have more fun, stick to a track.

If he's a good rider then why isn't he winning races, have at least one club championship or an IOM regular?
Just because the speedo is reading MPH won't stop the speedo reading out a simple -1F +2R added to factory error can throw a speedo out by 15-20%, I've a 15 tooth front sprocket and had to dial in an 11% recalibration on my speedo healer.
I'm all up for a good thrash but in the right place at the right time, I'd be interested to see what he can do on a race track that's where the bullshit really stops.
An attention seeking twat IMO I'm not convinced it is that great riding reckless yes.

Not seen it.
All I can say is, if there is a video of a biker using normal roads on the internet then it's stupid riding gaurenteed.
Jusy don't video it - Keep it to yourself.

HAve a look at some of the other posts on YouTube.... these sorts of guys are muppets.. and cause fatal accidents to innocent people... NOT impressed.
Granted we all like to give-it-some from time to time... but there is a time and place for everything..

I always thought power on right throught the cornor gives you a tighter turning and improves riding  ?? Am i wrong,
ps im no way a rider like the video guys

This video has been under investigation for a number of months as to whom the rider is and the driver of the Evo. It was in one of the UK national papers (The Sun) a while back as well as MCN (Motor Cycle News).
I still do not think the PIGS (Police) have arrested anyone for it yet!
