He's both skillful and lucky.  In the end, that sort of luck runs out eventually, and he will select himself out of the species.

I don't know if I have words enough to describe what I think of this video, but it IS spell-binding to watch, to see what else he going to try.

That was like watching a video game walk through on You-Tube of a gamer that figured out all the right moves to win that level. The next level is gonna be a real bastard..... :scratch_one-s_head:

Reminds me of my late 80s commute to work on the 91! Broken mirrors, mine and the cars. I was stupid but nothing even close to that guy. Karma caught up to me on my ride home one day less than a mile from home when a gravel patch on a left hander had me sliding downhill for 50+ ft WITHOUT proper riding gear! I didn't ride again for about 8 years, well, pavement riding at least. You can tempt fate, walk that thin line, but sooner or later you pay and some times it's a bitch.

I don't know if I should praise him for his great skill and mastery, or bash him for driving like an idiot.

either way, can you imagine how long this commute would take in a car?

There's always a very fine line between genius and insanity.

I'm thinking probably not bar end mirrors. At least not any more. 3:24 go, 3:46 no-go! 4:03= interference fit. And then the riding buddy, what are the odds? Must be challenging to ride in the wake of somebody else behaving poorly. And it just keeps getting worse...
Any videos like this where they misjudge it? Just to balance out my vicarious pleasure.
Travis, are you listening?
