A Florida biker says he has 'learned his lesson' after posting heart-stopping footage of the 140mph crash that nearly killed him.
The motorcyclist who calls himself 'Street Demon PC' won a fanatical online following with tailcam videos of his highly illegal speeding through traffic-choked roads at speeds in excess of 100mph.
His audience feared the worst after he went silent for months before he told them he had only just recovered enough to post film of the crash that cost him more than 20 broken bones.
'I'll be back to ride again one day, but not like I used to,' the 27-year-old told them.
'Riding like I did was fun as hell, but I want to have fun for a long time.'
The video begins with the biker leaving a slip road to join what appears to be Interstate-95 outside Daytona Beach.
He accelerates to nearly three times the speed of other vehicles on the busy road as the wind buffets his powerful Honda CBR600RR.
He passes within inches of other vehicles and at one point glances back to check that his camera has not been blown off by the hurricane-force wind speeds before accelerating further.
But four minutes into his ultra-high speed jaunt the traffic suddenly becomes ominously heavier.

I saw that on Facebook Reels. I thought he was dead.
I don’t get the zipping in an out of traffic like that.
I was almost clipped by an ass on a motorcycle today.
Outside lane, he was jig-zag over all the lanes, including all the grease stains.
If he went sliding, I wouldn’t help.

Driving to work one morning on I-495 northbound in Littleton, MA, I saw I young guy driving well over 100 mph (eyeball estimate, but not far off). I whispered a prayer for his safety, but apparently in vain. A couple of days later I heard a report on the radio that a motorcyclist was killed on I-495 a few miles north of Littleton.
“ link. Still trying to figure out where the camera was. ”
It’s on a short pole behind the seat. You can see it in the shadow.
I’m surprised he survived. When he started splitting lanes the risk really went up. He was nearly run over by the semi truck too
Nearly 30, and still playing the Mad Speed Demon, like a 15 y/o drunk driving in Daddy’s car. This was a lesson he was almost not around to learn from. 20 broken bones! He will very likely recover to some degree, but won’t ever be physically the same way as before.
Welp...God clearly still has plans for this fool.
can anybody tell me how that was filmed?
you can see the selfie stick in the shadow, but NOT in the picture...
you can even see the shadow hit the truck
A-hole should have been disemboweled and scrapped off the highway like roadkill.
These people deserve to perish.
My son is a new street rider in Florida and I sent him the link. I have 100k miles in the saddle and I think this should be mandatory viewing for all riders that want to make it to their destination alive.
He put many people at risk, he needs prison time.
The camera is at the top of the stick attached to the bike. It looks straight ahead not down
Did he sustain any additional brain damage or were they unable to tell?
He better stay in Florida, because moving somewhere damp and cold isn’t going to suit him.
Now he needs to do something about all the copy cats he created.
While a coworker was stopped at a red light one morning a motorcyclist traveling at least 60-70 mph plowed into him, trashing the back of his truck and killing himself in the process.
Ouch.
i always am aware of motorcycles and give them room.
it is the stupid cars drivers who think they can do this s#it that piss me off.
in the past 3 days 2 people in cars made me light up my brakes cutting in front of me.
Unfortunately my car is not replaceable or I would not have
How is that getting recorded??
