That's insane, If I tried that around here, I'd get shot, ran over by a semi, then shot again just for good measure...

japan, like many other countries with metric system, uses km/h, therefore hes doing 40-55mph (briefly at 60mph)

That's absolutely rediculous. I mean I split all the time (and on the 710 which is a major trucking highway) but it's nothing like that. Seems just stupid to me. :cookoo:

+2 if you want insane, go find some Ghostrider stuff, this was pretty tame.  Faster than I would split, but it never looked like he was riding like he had a death wish.  Course I got bored after the first few minutes...

He's definitely a squid.  I know it was metric, but he was way overdriving his sight distance.  2 seconds!  If you can't see the road surface 2 seconds in front of you, you're going too fast.

thats just stupid. I can see spliting if all the trafic is stoped, but why do you need to split if things are moving?
