Motorcyclist's Crazy High-Speed Commute
http://zanylol.com/highspeed_commute.html ^

Posted on 03/02/2012 2:58:52 PM PST by navysealdad

A 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward.

I hope this jerk kills himself before he kills someone else.

I wonder what’s so important about his job. Actually, I wonder what’s so important about anyone in that commute’s job - That traffic is hellish.

Maybe he’s an insurance agent ?

Back in my crazy indestructible days, I’d split lanes and such but not like that. He’s going so fast people in front of him would have a pretty hard time judging his speed before changing lanes. Not to mention people who will jump out of their skin when he screams by.

Holy Crappola! Ivan is one lucky dude who’s serendipity in several of his near misses is razor thin. The traffic is certainly bad, but to challenge it on a daily basis is slapping a caged tiger’s gonads. At some point, one is not going to be quick enough, and one will lose an arm.

That’s too much work expended too. Must be exhausted at the work place.

This guy has been dead for sometime. Like so many daredevils, his assumption was that all other drivers faithfully obey traffic laws and never do anything unexpected.

I seem to recall that he met his end in a Moscow tunnel when a truck driver did something unexpected.

That’s the way it goes for people like that.

Here is Dan Osman, freeclimbing a 400 ft cliff. Straight up. No ropes. To the top in 60 seconds. Absolutely insane.

Yeah. He’s dead too.

NO big deal. It appears he choose the day when Moscow must have run out of gasoline as the traffic is almost nil. I’ve been to Moscow many times and have never seen such light traffic. Besides, you can see such stupidity on any Dallas freeway 24/7.
