Me either. It's an expensive bike to be taking chances like that too. What a nut. OTOH, the bike moves pretty good. Probably why cops like it.

If he keeps riding like that, eventually he'll have an impact and it might be bad. Same with the hooligan/stunter idiots we have in this country.

I really don't think any of us bought Vulcans to do wheelies down the interstate or to drive like that maniac. You think 1%'ers give bikers a bad name, what kind of impressions do ya think that yahoo is leaving with the people.

That was good to watch someone else do that with the headcam. It's not as hairy as it look's,the bloke is obviously switched on,probably a dispatch rider,he is thinking ahead and riding according to what he anticipate's is going to happen,he is allway's giving himself a margin, and is ready to change his plan if thing's dont unfold as he thought,a couple of time's he swap's 3 lane's to make it work,he look's around at intersection's to check that someone is'nt joining the traffic at the same speed as him,apart from that everything he need's to know is happening in front of him,and i reckon he's got that well under control.I once tried to follow a dispatch rider across London on a Honda CB900,he was on a little Yamaha 400
 bastard he was !

Oh, c'mon! It's California lane splitting at it's finest. There are enough lane splitting proponents here to have your own sub forum. (I'm NOT one of them.)

It looks like he's already had a mishap, most of his windshield seems to be missing.
