Nuts.

There's a vid of some idiot doing the same thing around the entire loop road around Atlanta (I-285). Shows the whole thing from start to finish in some insanely short amount of time.

Live fast, die young, leave an unrecognizable smear of a corpse.

The original hoon video, un matched for it's delicious V-12 goodness.

Why not one more kilometer?

A shocking YouTube video of a motorcycle rider weaving in and out of traffic on the Trans Canada highway, reaching a speed of almost 300 kilometres per hour, has Saanich police looking for the dangerous driver.

The video, shot from a camera mounted on the front of the blue Yamaha bike, shows the driver speeding down the centre lane narrowly missing vehicles on either side. At one point, he revs up quickly and his speedometer reaches 299 km/h. Drivers on the road don’t even have time to change lanes to get out of his way.

The two-minute video was posted April 7 by a user calling himself Joe Blow and has received more than 14,500 hits.

Saanich police received a call about it shortly after it was posted and have launched an investigation to try and find the driver.

Investigators believe the footage was shot a day or two before it was posted as the motorcyclist drove north from McKenzie Avenue to Millstream Road in Langford.

“I can’t find enough adjectives to describe how unacceptable this is,” said Saanich police spokesman Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “This is just, it’s so appalling.”

Jantzen said the driver is lucky he didn’t kill himself or others on the road.

The traffic officer leading the investigation is a motorcyclist himself and is extremely concerned about the message the video sends, making speeding look cool.

Jantzen said he’s pleased to see that many of the comments on the video are condemning the dangerous behaviour.

“All it would take is somebody to change lanes in front of him. poof... dead,” commented one viewer.

The driver could face several charges under the Motor Vehicle Act such as street racing or excessive speeding, which could see the bike impounded, or he could face criminal charges of dangerous driving.

I'm bad with math, but isn't that only like a buck thirty five in mph?

I think it's like euro-fag weights (kgs) and you multiple it by 2.2

So that dude was going an amazing 660 mph!

Loved that game. Had to be very sensitive on the controls.
