Dude was in Connecticut, not France. Why would his speedo be in KPH?

Either way, what fucking difference does it make? He was clearly riding like an idiot, and the chick on the back is lucky to be alive.

What a putz.

Holy shit, those guys looked like they were gonna wreck at any time, I saw a few close calls, let alone the 1:10 part where his buddy almost took him out, and you don't see what the others behind them are doing until they pass. A bunch of fools, I don't think they were trying to commit suicide, but they were acting in a manner that eventually brought about that outcome

The more stupid people are the more they record. Cops probably love the hell out of it.

The bike slid when it hit the ground...If it flipped over Im sure the outcome of the video feed would be different.

I'm sure... Bit I've seen plenty of crash videos of lowsides where the camera flakes our for a second or two upon impact...

How long have you been riding and you still don't know motorcycle speedo's are notoriously inaccurate at high speeds? If his speedo so 160's and he hadn't messed with the gearing on his bike, he was probably running high 130's or low 140's. Drop a tooth on the front sprocket or go up any teeth in the rear sprocket and it gets even worse.
