Interesting article:

Dude was riding a sportbike along a section of road I've been on many times. The posted limit on this road is generally 80 KPH (50 MPH) with a few sections that drop to 50 KPH. There are some intersections, and it passes through an industrial area with limited access, so there are quite a few trucks and cargo vans.

I've noted this video discussed in a few forums and news sites. IMHO his riding is needlessly risky, but I see some folks making the argument that the riding is only going fast when not near other cars, and rides more sedately when splitting through traffic.

What do you think? Am I in the wrong?
