160MPH ZX6R Near Miss

Link to original page on YouTube.

If you're a bit ADD I recommend you jump to 1 minute 30 seconds in to get the perspective of the rider who f*****d up.

At 2:48 you hear the rider loosing his **** a bit.

Too close! Looks like they are millimeters from rubbing elbows. This guy is a hazard.

PS, if you feel the need to ride that fast, go find a racetrack!

CC Cowboy · February 26th, 2014, 03:28 PM

Looks like time for a beer! They always taste so much better after a life threatening experience.

If that's AK47, the so called motovlogger, this is one reason I don't sub to him on my channel. Obviously, as a youngster, he still hasn't realized his stupidity level.

I found it interesting that his commentary was how he was ready to die at that moment, envisioning himself off in the grass, bike busted and burning. At least he admits its his own fault.

But what would have happened to the other guy to have a bike slam into the rear or side of him at 160?

Not only is he threatening his own continued existence (which personally I think everyone ought to be allowed to do) but he's threatening those around him as well and that's the part I have a problem with.

I was thinking that. I guess they were all taking big risks together though; each one putting them-self and the others in the group in danger. They all chose to be there, among each other taking big risks. I think if he did hit the other rider and they both went down, then the rider who was hit could hardly play a victim card. You step into the ring and you're going to get hit.

I think I'd see it differently if it was an innocent road user; someone not a part of their group.

I don't think it's worth it to ride like that on the street. At least the road was quiet.

Oh, that's different. In that case they are ALL stupid.

Watched this a while ago. He has another video where he makes fun of a rider who has no gear and misses a shift (he called him a squid too). I have missed shifts. Josh Hayes misses shifts. AK47's is a douchebag.

Is he well known? I haven't heard of him before this video. M13 is the only rider I watch regularly: he consistently provides interesting and entertaining videos. Most of the other vloggers I've seen are a bit hit and miss. @BikersPOV (who is on this forum) is another vlogger I've been enjoying recently though. I love his light-hearted but somehow, quite zen, commentary! Good music and editing on his videos too.

Sirref · February 26th, 2014, 04:34 PM

He's somewhat well known, I'd say he's top 10 most popular on youtube right now but in the lower half of that top 10.

You should check out these channels
jakethegardensnake - he wheelies a lot but is pretty funny.
marcel irnie -canadian racer, pretty much all of his videos are track and he's fast.
chaseontwowheels - fairly unlucky guy. he puts out good videos then the occasional video of riding fast down the highway where you know you would do it too but you still think he's dumb for doing it.
bakerxderek - he does a lot of cool edits but he rides pretty aggressively from time to time.
blinkycab - he doesn't do it anymore but he has a few good ninja 250 vlogs on his channel from when he owned one.

M13, rnickeymouse, and nosquidding are the most notable motorcycle channels by far though.
other than this list I can't really think of many that are worth watching, there's IcarelessI who has a knack for editing with music but he crashed (and it's blatantly obvious why if you watch his edits) and didn't get a new bike.

nickjpass · February 26th, 2014, 06:01 PM

I wouldn't say he's in the top 10. Lot of good riders on youtube, I don't care if they ride aggressively - entertaining.

Sirref · February 26th, 2014, 06:04 PM

He's in the top 10 most popular that I am aware of

Mocha Man · February 26th, 2014, 09:03 PM

Looks to me like he may have caught caught in the road snake... not that this justifies riding like a moron in the first place.
