I'm getting old and grumpy I was enjoying that until I saw it wasn't a closed road and they weren't wearing any safety gear what so ever, it's not worth risking your life for.

just goes to show how quick cars are now a days, seen a few videos of cars taking bikes. Even the family car is quick, Volvo Volvo 850 T-5R is 155 and that's from 1992 -1997.

As for racing on an open road, stupid

So a $200K car can just about hang on to a $17Kish bike on a normal road.

For those of us familiar with the the dynamics of 2 wheels it says it all really. .

But doing what they are doing on a normal road is just asking for some innocent person to get hurt.

Irresponsible stupidity.
