Has Maxim moved to motorcycles?



Oh, wait, the guy doesn wreck and destroy the bike at the end (not if, but when, right?), so I guess it can't be Maxim.

At first, I was impressed with the light traffic. Then...

Someday his bike control won't be enough.

Put d$cks like that on race track and they wouldn't last five seconds. They think they can ride. My 15 year old could probably ride like that, but he wouldn't.

One thing guys, the traffic is like that all the time in Moscow. At night it gets worse and the kids come out to play, hoping that the cops do not see them.

Everytime I drove in Moscow was just a bit afraid.... and that video above shows why.

What's wrong? He is using the central bike lane, which is protected by two solid white lanes.

Seriously, this gives a whole new dimension to "russian roulette".

That was a remarkable display of equal parts skill and good fortune. Not sure it's wise to bet the whole farm on either...especially the second.

I was wondering what the deal was until hitting ~4:30. One inattentive driver swerving a touch out of their lane would have made the video at least a minute shorter.

I didn't see a lot of skill there. Good breaking reactions maybe, but not much skill. Lots and Lots of luck though.
