Idoits arent limited to just a particular geographical location, I'm glad to see.
I thought it was gonna be stupid traffic like Singapore or parts of India.
Speaking of idiots, we used to split lanes on the 405 in San Diego at rush hour and
"touch the buck". Shorty pipes, 67 Sportster,100 mph, Traffic time.
Why am I still here?  My wife says my guardian angel wants to kick my butt when I get there.

Moscow traffic is terrifying even in a cage... I'm sure things have changed a little bit since I was there 20 years ago, but the taxi we took was ALL over the place... He thought nothing of cutting 2 lanes into oncoming traffic to pass someone... It was terrifying, and I was an 18 year old kid at the time! (Ya' know, before I was old enough to understand my own mortality)

I have done a few things on the streets that I now regret (driving certificate yesterday, as a matter of fact) but that kind of disregard for other people makes me sick. One guy zigs when you think he will zag and there is a big wet red mess on the road...

A friend who travels to Russia often says in Russia the cops have the authority to bring down a wreckless speeder by what ever means necessary including hand held rocket launchers, machine gun, etc.
In other words the cops in Russia are God.

That guy really knows how to ride -- his skill is undeniable.

Unfortunately for him Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection says he must die before he reproduces for the good of mankind.

His riding skill, courage and level of insanity are amazing. Probably dead by now though. You can't play those kind of odds for long and live. Just one opened car door from death much of the time. Still, amazing riding. Something about the camera location made me almost feel the wheelies.
