Maniac filtering in Japan(?)

Has anyone got the link to the video of the wild rider carving up traffic in the rush hour in (I'm pretty sure) Japan? The journey was all dual carriageway with wall to wall trucks and busses etc.

Made me cringe to watch it.

Cheers!

heh!

Maniac? What's wrong with it?

A bit close to that truck (brake lights, truck driver a :toss braking for no reason other than to sh*t the biker up).

He even got overtaken!!

He hesitates enough to know if traffic is going to jump lanes or not.

I've filtered at near that speed, but wouldn't go for some of those gaps as my bike wouldn't fit!

Quite liked it actually.

I assum KPH not MPH.

Damn, that was mad! But actualy, i thought the guy was rather smooth, not accelerating into gaps - he seemed to be playing it safe (!) and seemed very sure that his manouvers where safe.

And if the fraffic is like that in japan everyday, i expect he;s got loadsa practice...

Makes me tuck my knees in and squirm in my seat Baph. Think I'd rather make the journey in a car with Terry Wogan and a briar fully of ready-rubbed - must be me age

I see faster and scarier on the A13 everyday going to and from work!

On my way home yesterday was in the lane 3 @ 70mph surrounded by cars when some eejit on a R1 came through at a ton+
It scared me silly and I felt physically sick at the thought of going as quick as he was filtering through traffic. What was worse wa that he was having a race with his mate in traccy tops and bottoms on a damp road in rush hour. You couldn't even call him a walking organ donor - there would have been very little left....
