Am I the only one to fail to see where the skill was involved? Straight roads with some long sweeping turns. 150+ and the bike would not turn?

the isle of man is just once a year so where does 1 arm bandit practice? and the track is so far away and he works. so night time in his back roads on public highways is the only solution. don't worry, 1 arm will one day win the TT.

It took a while to comprehend that sentence. Is this the same guy who steals other riders bikes or am I mistaken here?

Objectively, that is simply impressive. I agree with Trauma that the most skillful aspect is that he is cornering fairly hard at 150-170+ mph.

Subjectively, I've got to be the weenie that has to poo-poo this behavior on public roads with other vehicles. I've always had the attitude that almost all of what I do on a bike on public roads is going to dismember/splatter only me if I get it wrong. This guy is going so fast that if he does get it wrong and impact another vehicle at 120+ mph differential the damage is very likely to injure/kill the occupants.

Maybe it's because I now have a 3-year old boy after riding for 22 years like I was immortal, but my attitude has definitely changed on the risks presented to the public by riding like this. In Florida we have the most severe motorcycle-persecution laws, such as $1,000 for your first wheelie offense and go-straight-to-jail for anything over 20+ mph over the speed limit. I can't stand these ridiculous laws, but frankly with this guy's type of riding which is rampant on the straight roads here I can completely understand how the general public views sport riders as a public menace.

If you're that badass, show me your real balls and take it to the Isle of Man TT, where you're actually competing with other people who are truly trying to push it as close to the edge as possible in an organized/sanctioned race on a closed course.

He's basically got a freeway all to himself, 2-3 lanes, decent road surface, makes it a lot easier. That sucks that Flo has such draconian traffic laws, ours are similar, 40kph over and they confiscate your ride for a period of time and big fine, jail only if you get caught a third time.

Flo?, as in Florida? I was thinking he was/is a bike thief from NYC, I hope somebody corrects me if I am wrong.

Dude, he told us that he and his boyfriend run a bike ring so you don't need to cover for him. Glad he's gone.
