Motorbike commuting to work in St Petersburg

A journey that takes 90 minutes + for car drivers done in 15 minutes. My cousin's friend's video

and all it would take is 1 car driver not paying attention and your cousin's friends body could get ripped apart by roadside furniture.

is that a suzuki vstrom or something? He rides very quick, especially in the wet 2nd half of video.

looks like an fz1 to must commend him for having massive balls but he isn't going to live long riding like that

I think its a Yamaha FZ1S.

I would never do something like that, but the kid inside me says: "WHAT A RUSH!!"

And all said and done, hes' been doing that commute (during warm months) for a long while now, and even in the video with all the red light running there was never a single "almost" moment, he was always in control. Even with the brick on the road at 12:41

But yeah, its great stuff for a video game, but for real life the stakes are too high...

I guess he's too bored of his "office plankton" job to care.

(PS 1000 posts - hooray!

Your cousins friend rides very dangerously and I hope when he does crash it's only him that is killed rather than an unsuspecting pedestrian or motorist.
