    Drop a gear and wave goodbye is always a good method. Maybe wave with one finger slightly more extended than the others but hey a wave none the less.

    Agreed

    Even a 250 should have been able to use one of the side roads and be gone. It does need mentioning that it is FL. There are a ton of sportbike riders down there that have never seen any real curves or have any desire to ride a curvy road.

    Seriously, the bike has 3 more gears, and will probably go faster in 3rd than the car will ever go without being thrown out of the back of a c130...


    I'm calling bullshit.

    Yea, I don't quite get this (if it's real). Right off the bat in the video, pull into the gas station.

    I also have never understood the idea of getting back in front of someone when they are being stupid. If they stop and get out you might have to re-evaluate, but it's a lot harder to get run over when you are behind someone being an idiot.

    Could be staged. The driver did show genuine anger via spat. The rider did show excellent skills in braking.

    Re: Florida......

    I was sent that yesterday by a buddy who I argue sportbikes vs cars about all the time; gets pissed his $50K+ BMW gets smoked by a 600cc sportbike. Anyways, this video just shows how crappy of riders are out there because no idea how this car kept up with the bike over and over again. I did notice his rearview mirror went down when he hit high speeds so that makes me think he has never done those speeds before and is just an amateur; only because most riders who have that happen with their mirror learn quickly to tighten that sh*t up because of the wind value at those high speeds….not to mention can get away from what looks like an old Ford Taurus. I finally started sending my buddy videos of “Ghostrider” to show this rider just sucks and 99% of the time a rider could easily lose a car like that.

    And this is why I always rode with hard Kevlar knuckled gloves….never got to test that out, but I’d doubt any human could take a hit from one. And before I get flamed I mean if it came down to it and it turned into self-defense. I had so many cars try to keep up though and not one could so this video justy makes me laugh.

    .... I think the rider is just passe. He likes to ride his comfortable speed. Not to exceed 60, which is probably his threshold. Hence why car kept up. The rider slowed down to get his bearing and shake off the fear. Car comes again he gets scared. It's a flight or fight. Funny the driver had the audacity to show the rider that he was recording.

    Re: Florida......

    Maybe he was hesitant to hit ridiculous speeds on roads with considerable side traffic lest he end up in a much worse situation. That wasn't the kind of environment I would want to be moving too quickly through.

    I thought about that too, but a car trying to hit me would make me decide the risk to speed and get away was better than this crazy guy hitting me because he tried a few times. Plus a bike can make way faster U-turns so he should have utilized that advantage. Then bring in brake distance….he was just an amateur for sure.


    Here is a video of Ghostrider taking a turn so fast the cop car tries and crashed.

    Here is a video of Ghostrider taking a turn so fast the cop car tries and crashed.
    Only issue with using Ghost Rider as an example is that he's a complete motorcycling anomaly. I really don't believe in "luck" or the word for that matter but in my opinion, Ghost Rider has the most luck of anyone I've ever seen. He also is a professional stunt rider. He's got no shortage of "balls". Ghost Rider also has a team of spotters and drivers clearing the way ahead of him on many of his long distance runs he does. Lastly, I think what Ghost Rider has working for him, is the fact that people in Sweden tend to know how to drive. You don't see in many of his videos people just randomly switching lanes for no reason. Almost always you see them using their signal indicators and changing lanes slowly. I also believe that Ghost Rider moves just way to fast for most incidents to happen. I think he comes up on people and passes them before most motorist know what's happened.

    As someone who owns that generation of Fusion, trust me when I say they're limited to 115 MPH. The driver is a douche and the rider is a tool. Rider clearly can't ride for crap either.
