This fella is a mentalist

The most dangerous bit is when he was driving on the double white lines between oncoming and flowing traffic.

Those lines are VERY slippery (even for cars), one wrong movement and he would be flying...

yeah, i met elvis last week, he introduced himself at starlins birthday bash....

No really, he's quite a regular at a few straighliner events and has been for a number of years now.

My understanding is that he came to an 'arrangement' with the Swedish authorities and he's now a reformed character.

White lines are fine in the dry - in the wet though I'd agree with you.

When i was watching that video I was just clenching my buttocks waiting for someone in the waiting line of traffic to just go sod this and do a U-turn into his path.

When you have oncomming traffic you have actually got a reduced risk of this so you are surprisingly safer than when its clear.

That's why i was actually move amazed at the Range Rover vid. At least biker boy is likely to only kill himself. Anyone turning across that bus at those speeds is greasy spot on the road.

Crazy man indeed, takes some nuts to do that or just being plain stupid!

mesmerising to watch.. but definatley a darwin award contender..want to watch the range rover vid now

I used to commute by bike in London and filitering is par for the course. Even though the vid appears to be speeded up during the filtering section that guy must have kahooners the size of medicine balls.

As for Range Rover boy - well I'm sure he'll be fine if it goes nasty.............

Just remember an R1 will do 90 mph in first gear... I don't think its speeded up!

The guy is mad, but good.. and even more important than that.. lucky!

White lines, for some time, in many countries including ours have been painted in a 'special' non slip type paint. However as Spike said, I still wouldn't want to risk them in the wet... especially as you can't tell easily where the council chose to save money and use non drip gloss

Those videos aren't sped up at all. I know there's a few other motorcyclists here but for the non motorcyclists performance figures of the super and hyper sports bikes are mind boggling and in some cases unimaginable.

As a motorcyclist I have to say I find his and similar videos very hard to watch, and when I do, see them as anything other than gross stupidity. The public roads are not a play ground no matter how 'good' you think you are.

I know for a fact that the white lines are deadly for bikes in Poland... They seem to be teflon coated, and thats in the dry.. Had a few "moments" there on my BMW..
