Faaark! At least he kept steering instead of just braking.

that country road,, as you put it, is in better condition than most of SH 1

Still pretty winding & high sided. You could hear his tyres chirping from an estimated 60mph so was hitting the anchors as hard as he dared.
Dirty undies for sure.

Hopefully that close call makes him rethink screaming down windy obstructed country roads at between 80 and 130 Miles an Hour (130-210 KM for we metrics).

Just proves their number wasn't up yet . You don't have to be speeding for that type of thing to happen . Rider dealt with it well i reckon . Any1 pick the bike , just a screaming japa to me but would like to confirm the brakes being abs or not . I'm guessing no abs anyway , just good brake control .

I saw Honda on his tailsection, I'm thinking maybe a 600 going by the pitch of the engine.

I seem to recall a story years ago about a NZ rider putting miles on a Castrol 6 hour bike sticking it through the side of a caravan in similar circumstances.

Honda cbr600rr going by the description of the video
there was a guy who posted videos about riding like a moron and posted videos then it stoped and a guy had died in a crash in the media who asked the question if that was the youtuber . since that guy died no more videos.

You are talking about "Ghostrider" He had some awesome Youtube videos where he would go out looking for the Rozzers and lead them on a chase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kBLICH51rs
Like to see him try it on a real country road. on gravel in other words!

pretty certain Patrik Furstenhoff was at least partly responsible for those vids, theres some vids on YouTube of him setting legitimate wheelstand records on a very similar Turbo Busa, still alive as far as I know but heat probably got to much!

The Black Prince doing the Paris ring toad in peak traffic was another madman

Note the very many large left-curving arrows painted all over British roads nowadays, and which NZ should have everywhere on our roads, - incompetent government note.

Sorry guys but I don't find any of this funny or exhilarating. To me, taking the chance of a high speed run on a great road with the serious risk of being splattered by someone elses stupidity OR. simply doing their job, (wrong place/ wrong time) really doesn't appeal.
It's a very different story if it was a closed road for the event, then any crash's would simply be MY own bad luck / ability's or stupidity

Totally agree. have been in a few close calls to which the other party were playing dumb-arse.
