Barber Museum is high on my list of places to visit. I might be headed there next spring.

That video was probably the singular dumbest thing I've ever seen done on a motor vehicle.

My heart rate was going through the roof watching it. So many times I expected that guy to clip a car or t-bone some vehicle changing lanes (or turning! wtf is up with the turning lanes out there?). Not to mention riding up on one wheel into oncoming traffic.

I hope this guy doesn't do this every day. Looks like an awesome way to turn yourself into a giant smear on the pavement.

Crazy_Schizo, meet Crazy_Ivan! With me he can smear himself, I haven't gotten over the cold war yet. Maybe someday. Ha!

I can't speak for Russia and Russian drivers. I'm lucky I survived, although I used to wear a helmet at all times. A few times I got hit (even blacked out once) and it was not even my fault. Did a lot of idiotic things like riding with only the rear brake as the cable for the front had snapped and I had no time to replace it as I was in the midst of final exams. Glad I did not end up a smear on the highway like some others did.

That video does not shock me. Im probably the only one that isn't
