I remember back in the mid 70s while riding home on a back country road just on nightfall i noticed another bike behind me catching up i gave mine a squirt of speed and he did to down through a few corners and then accelerating hard down a long straight. Well over the speed limit the other bike kept behind me all the way never trying to overtake me just staying with me all the way just enjoying the ride on reaching the outskirts of town i pulled up at the first set of traffic lights the other bike finally stopping beside me i was surprised to find a cop on a police triumph bonnaville 650 he gave me a big smile said it was a great ride but i should keep my speed down then rode off as the lights changed green but that was the early seventies how times have changed i was riding a brand new Z 900 Kawasaki. Ah those where the days

We used to tease the police in Manchester in the 1960s, many of us had faster bikes
We would take our tuned bonnavilles on the Kingsway extension, they were easy to beat they had Trophies.
My mom would race the towns MC Cop in her nova down a country road that is mostly straight for 3 miles. The loser got the coffee for the other in town. Long before I was born in 80.

@@curbmassa 😁
dude just wanted to have a fun ride.
I think I'm most impressed by the situational awareness of the other drivers on the road. Where I live in rural Canada both those two racing would have been run over, by a one ton diesel pickup on an 8-in lift, going the other way.
Deservingly so.
Today many drivers are clueless and don’t pay attention. Fun video and the driver did seem skilful but he was lucky that there was no clueless drivers like there could be today
smaller roads and paths, higher density. everything is upside down usa
@@phalanx5667 the only clueless are you and your support of the idiots using the roads as a playground and expecting that everyone else will move out of their way, I don't.
I spotted two in the video. Hopefully you don't drive anymore grandad you must be blind af
Do you know what's fascinating? This Porsche is still on the road today. The earliest MOT on record is in 2005, when it had 74k miles on it. Since then, it has only been driven 30k miles, and currently sits at 106k miles as of June 2022. For the past few years, it has been barely driven, averaging only around a hundredish miles per year. It's incredible to think about how much this car has been through, and yet it's still road-legal and well-maintained after 29 years since it was made in 1994.
How do you know this much about that Porsche?
@@sebastiantschatordai License plate look-up.
I thought to myself, this must be somewhere in '97 or '98 judging by some of the other cars on the road as well..
Barely been driven because the owner is banned probably. If not, he should be.
Or in prison!@@buggerlugz6753
One summer's evening, at the turn of the Millennium, riding from York back to Hull, I came upon a TVR Tuscan. The roads were empty. The light was good. He decided to have a little tickle and put his foot down. I was on a new 2000 R6 and decided, yeah, I'll have some of that. So off we went. He wasn't in the fastest car in the world and I wasn't on the fastest bike, but we had a good 15 minutes of highly questionable fun. It wasn't racing. I didn't try to overtake, but I sure as hell wasn't going to let him gap me. When we finally parted ways at the roundabout at the end of the universe, we drew alongside each other, grinned the biggest grins and waved our goodbyes. We had both lived a little extra that night and I will never forget it.
Im a biker and owner of multiple very fast cars over the years a tuscan r is a very fast car 200mph it still has super car performance by todays standards and an R6 would be no match on straight motorway or similar i actually had a bit of fun pushing one along the A82 in scotland and let me tell u they move i was on a full power busa and the tvr even at 150mph when he hit the pedal it took off i could have passed him on the busa but it was just a bit of fun but a tuscan r if the guy wants hes leaving an R6
As a biker and fast car driver, 500 whp Evo 6, and one that doesn't hang about, my reaction to this is they both need locking up. Absolute disregard for civy road user safety is lunacy. Bikers know that even the slightest debris on the road can take you out, and at those speeds you can't even see what might be lurking in you path. That was literally a split second away from tragedy for either one of them, both of them, or worse, a third party. You wanna drive like that, get on a track and that Pork driver would have found he wasn't so good as he thinks. The R1 rider seemed to have decent skill, so maybe a track day vet, but still, on the road you cannot predict what is going to happen. I've lost biker friends in less dangerous situations, and some have survived but are wheelchair users for life, and worse. Take my advice guys, keep it safe out there, the consequences of this type of sh1t aint worth it.
With you 100%
Even if the two main characters DID have skill levels that would make the speeds manageable, the vast majority of the other road users in this clip don’t. The aftermath of any collision in this video would be life changing for several people.
Although the bike hung back ( relatively- we’re talking a gradation of lunacy here) his participation definitely pushed the Porchshe guy on.
Loss of license for both of them, and a two year restriction to a 1990 1.0 Citroën and an old cg125
DITO!

once you see someone in a car taking those risks let them go or they could drag you into something deadly. have fun but let the risks be not so high.
Find it hard to believe either of them have lasted as long.
I would let him go just for him not to be involved with an other innocent driver on the road. When you see someone like this, just let him go, safer for everyone 🙏
@@MrKoblepot You can't deny he's a good pace car though ... You got a good chance to see the flames before You hit the spot!
Thanks Karen for your concerns we will take it up with head office when they have the chance to receive your complant thank you very much
So true my friend , is it really worth it ?
The awareness of the road by the regular British public is honestly impressive. Had this been in the US where I am from it would have been a head on accident within the first 30 seconds.
This is an old clip. The standard of driving nowadays is awful here in the UK nowadays. I've had range rover sports attempt to ram me off for filtering, people pull out without looking on a regular basis.
@@davidboden5486 I suspect Covid made things worse. I swear that few months off the road made most people into morons. I had a police car nearly flatten me on the bike around the Oxford area last year. Didn't even check his mirrors.

@@davidboden5486 Largely because a large portion of the drivers have never passed a UK driving test.

As a life long veteran motorcyclist I’ve had moments like this, and the fun factor is through the roof, - right up until it’s not, !!!!!. Bikes can get away wiith a lot on the road but the guy in the Porsche was relying totally on other drivers getting out of his way… a practice which eventually catches everyone out!!… also nowadays that 10 minute Adrenalin hit will get you 6 months at HER MAJESTY’s pleasure!! Minimum. - Post accident !- or worse still “ a fatality” and you’re looking at 15yrs 👀😳😢
15 years and then you get back on your bike while the other person got a coffin 15 years earlier. Seems messed up.
@@DougBartonLHS No risk no fun, Doug 😁
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I agree; that's why I took up rock climbing, sky diving and hang gliding. No risk to anyone else but me.
@X Æ A-Xii Nope, just nope: too many absolutely incapable imbeciles with the worst material imaginable (liters of lost oil, leaked coolant and spilled diesel on that track during "Touristenfahrten" in every friggin corner because they buy loud pipes and flashy rims instead of good quality tubes, gaskets and lids ....) on too much adrenaline with too bad a marriage on their backs to drive halfway reasonable or even prescient ..... normal car drivers to share normal roads with are a risky activity but well survivable (as over 40 years on motorbikes and still living well would show). Risking the Nürburgring on _any_ motorbike though would be reverse Russian Roulette with one chamber empty only.
No one EVER has been given 15 years for causing a fatality on British roads, please stop waffling!
Pretty sure I was holding my breath throughout most of that video!
Me too ...
Ditto
Lol me too btw this Porsche is flying
how are they getting away with it with speed cameras everywhere?
I also don't think a breath left my mouth.
I was visiting a friend in hospital years ago, and this guy in his late 20's was brought to the ward. He kept to himself and was stuck in bed with ropes and counter weights after a 'bike crash several days before (been in intensive care up till then i imagine). The doctors had a quiet chat with him the next day, then left. He then spent quite a while crying afterwards. Turns out he was paralized and they had just given him the news about his future lifestyle. The ward was for serious injuries and illnesses, but until then he hadn't taken it in.
So much for being a 'hero' biker. I'm a biker of many years (owned a 'bike for over 40 years and still do) but watching this video just reminds me of the stuff i NEVER did like that in my day. That porsch driver especially needs a good smacking. Maybe he's dead by now, who knows.
I had a similar experience. I unfortunately was in a hospital bed after having been in an accident on my Ducati 998 with "White Van Man" who had given no warning and pulled out into the outside lane on a duel carriageway doing 40 mph while I approached him at around 120. Needless to say, I ran smack into the back of him. Recovering in hospital now minus the use of my right arm due to nerve damage not to mention all the other carnage my body had suffered, there was a chap in a bed opposite who was in a plaster cast waistcoat contraption. Seemingly he was also a van driver but unfortunately for him, he was T-Boned by a car driven by a joy rider who had stolen the car. He also received a visit from the surgeon with the bad news that he was permanently paralyzed from the neck down. The poor chap (young lad) cried all night long.
As someone as said previously, this is on the A57 Worksop bypass, probably around 2001. I've got to say totally irresponsible and reckless, but I can't help but be impressed by the handling and power of both vehicles, for the year this was filmed. I'm sat writing this and I live about half a mile from the bypass and today, being a Sunday, all you can hear are fast bikes and cars, still using it as a race track.
At least there are some places in the UK where ppl have have some fun.
This was in 1997
Like a wise man said it can go from fun to funeral very quickly. Do not do this shit, keep that stuff on the track
"From Fun to Funeral" Great T-shirt quote.
While I confess as an ex car racer I have had a few tussles with fast riders on relatively deserted and well sighted country roads - it is easy to get sucked in, to me this is just playing with your life but also those of others too. I don't care how good a rider or driver you might be, at those speeds one small unseen variable ( ie all the other road users ) will result in almost certain fatalities. The biker was no better, tucked up behind at 140 mph plus - Porsche brakes are very effective.
Lol
You're absolutely right. the porsche brakes are much more effective than this bike's.
Aye, nothing on 2 wheels can stop quicker than a 911.
@@soundmattersuk LOL I would dare to say nothing on any wheels stop quicker than a 911. Thats probably the best handing that money can buy. all those lambos ferraris and mclarens, (OK maybe the old F1, and that was a long car) have no chance in a twisty track with a 911.
@@oczhaal Not the brakes per se. Superbikes have really good brakes too.. but bikes have less then half the contact area between the tires and the road... It's not the brakes that would fail you.. but your grip. You either start sliding.. or your abs will halve your stopping power... Anyway yes, if the Porsche decides to really brake and you're at that following distance you're pretty much F'd
I love how these kinds of pov driving videos put you in a trance. You cant look away or blink, but once its over you shake your head and feel like you just woke up. Great stuff.
Porches drivers first mistake was attempting to out run an R1 and then the list of near fatal mistake goes on and on.
Shocking video mate , thanx for sharing and saying what we all think watching this.
Porsche driver's first mistake was to buy a Porsche. People like this should be resricted to mobility scooters.
That Porsche is still on the road too. Though currently on a SORN, it's still MOT'd till the end of the month, meaning it's probably just been in storage over Winter, so the owner didn't bother taxing it. Current owner will be ten years tomorrow (9th March 2022) according to last V5 Logbook change........ I wonder does current owner know his baby is so famous!!! 😉
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler this video was filmed more than 10yrs ago. From the sounds if that post, there is a new owner from the one in video.
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler I'd guess. Saves $. Wouldn't want to drive in winter anyhow.
The driver of that Porsche is amazing. What a drive. Bike rider was great too. Too many risks. At least traffic was moving over a little bit
The Porsche was MOT'd in June this year with 106k miles on the clock and it's taxed til the new year.
That Porsche driver can drive, thats for sure! The space he has to the curbs and really hooking it in the corners, you need some experiance to do that with a rear motor car, that grip on a Porsche is there till itś not, and then it goes quick.
1998 R1 was a fast bike. Legendary
I had a motorcycle accident going 50 KM/hr and got my right hand almost completely severed. Surgeons reattached the hand and 2 years later I could cut a steak with it and it turned out a good weather forecaster. At the insane speed they are going through trafic, is crazy beyond words. Death is riding shotgun. Drive and ride safe. Take care.
Love the part where you're like "that Porsche will be sooo far behind now"... Few seconds later...... the Porsche rips it round the roundabout and you're like "woah okay 😳"
Lol that Porsche driver wasn't playing no games
He's dead now probably
@@richardeade3766 Hopefully
@@neonzombielamawhy say such a horrible thing
Firstly let me say, that was completely outrageous and irresponsible on public roads. You wouldn’t last long in todays traffic someone on their phone wouldn’t see you coming and that would be that. This was 20+ years ago, things were a bit different then, the adrenaline levels must have been through the roof, great skills from both, Porsche pilot was an utter nutter, biker, one of the Sunday fast boys, great skills.
I’ve done it a couple of times and one didn’t end well, 40 years ago I crashed at 100 mph racing some bikes and a couple of cars on a public road and I took one risk to many, had to avoid an oncoming car and left the road. Spent 9 months in hospital, I’m one of the lucky ones…… Still riding, still like riding fast but no racing on public roads, it’s not worth it.
There are people who do this in this day on youtube and its more impressive lol
@@bioshock9998 Yup, there are - there are tik tok c*nts taking little clips while driving though, too, and they kill You not even noticing. Could I as biker change only one thing, it would be taking away smartphones with cameras from girls and young wimmin.
@@bioshock9998 th-cam.com/video/5FARZ6oMGwU/w-d-xo.html try this one, turkish drivers are one of the most savage people when it comes to traffic filtering :)
You shouldn't condemn other people Just cause you suck at driving dude,and by the way they are both decent drivers,but not that great,check the Audi r8 vs 3 bikes in Brazil.
There are guys in Asia and the Middle East who do this on TH-cam and they're insane. Flying through traffic gaps at 190kph+.
I've seen this footage sometime ago and the R1 rider went back round to meet up with the 911 driver! Both very capable drivers and most of us have done it! Pleased no one got injured. 👍
Glad to see somebody say it mate - "Most of us have done it". Some of the judgemental comments on here are probably not hypocrites but if there was a way of proving it either way I would guess the vast majority are or have been just as bad or haven't got the power or the bollocks to use the power if they do. Just a guess! Also glad they made it home that day.
That’s a pre Varioram 993, so only 272 bhp. A Cabriolet, as well, so a heavy iteration of that model and being a Cabrio, possibly a Tiptronic. Leaving aside the lawless craziness, the car did bloody well. I had a couple of 993s from new and even now, many 911s later, it’s still my favourite. Still plenty fast enough for today’s more heavily trafficked roads, too.
I have just found your channel, Love it, thank you.
That Porsche has to be stolen. Suicidal driving and risked everyone else’s life too.
I agree..
@@World-Superbike no it hasnt
No, M777MJH is still registered to the same car and currently MOTed!
I was thinking it's stolen, but I've driven like a nut when I was young and you can get carried away with the buzz😵💫

Ah yes, I always drive like that on that road too. But once I found out my Micra's tyres didn't have quite as much tread on them as I hoped. :-/
This is the second video of yours I have come across tonight the first was the nurburg ring and now this of the bypass back home in worksop. Also love how your head tilts as the bike leans over
probably still the best public road race
Awesome 👏
This one from Russia is pretty crazy too: th-cam.com/video/aVUm8Gk4zjU/w-d-xo.html
Even that older R1 can giddy up still 😉
The OG R1 revolutionized the sport bike game.
Og R1 is the best r1
I think this is an older clip, not so recent.
I just bought a 2003 Yamaha R1 but it’s completely stock 🥲🥲🥲
The og 1’s are so good i have two 99’s sitting in the barn. One is put away for good and the other is a track/backroad ripper with full ohlins.
I’m a car guy and I freakin love bikers.
They’re like knights.
But I bet few ever met a guy that gave them such a difficult time on a public road
All the best to everyone
I agree, both drivers here were pretty talented...and crazy!
It's fun when it happens. About 10 years ago I had an e39 m5 and driving down a country road I know very well (my friends and I nicknamed it the racetrack due to its perfect blend of tight corners, long fast corners and long straights), I had driven down it hundreds of times just for the fun of it, well one day on just such a blast I had a play with a sport bike, I assume it was a 400 because it was just pulling on me on the straights but I would reel it back in under braking and on the corners, was awesome fun until I boiled my brakes slowing down from about 140mph on the longest straight, I promptly shit myself, flashed him goodbye and pottered home. I did get a thumbs up from him though.
@@paulharper4196 most of them are very nice guys, they never fail to wave or give the thumbs up.
Even when I see one behind me in slow traffic and move over just a bit so they can go by more safely they always give me the wave.
I had a few high “octane” encounters myself in windy roads 😎 but with short straights so they were the ones cooking the brakes…
Good video, love the channel, take care, be safe, sending love and positive vibes from North Wales UK
I've been looking for a really good motorcycle channel so far I love the content! I got an 07 R1 last February and I didn't even want a Yamaha. I was looking for a ZX10 once I had a look at this bike it was Immaculate and the dual undertail exhaust is so sweet!
I've had mostly r1's but not the undertail exhaust ones. Never liked them. My two favorites is my 03 and 18 r1m.
This video ended five minutes ago and my heart is still racing. Racing because as a biker, I'm thinking about all of the things that could have gone horribly wrong for both driver and biker due to both of their irresponsible actions. Don't get me wrong, they both possess a substantial level of skill and agility but, COME ON GUYS, not on the public roadways. Take it to the track then we'll see who's boss!
You are absolutely right. And still ....
No skill. Just luck and overly capable machines...
brilliant channel buddy! i have to do my test this year and when i pass i want a old shape r1 like this but i want the r6 for a first bike do you ride?
Very rarely do you see either a Superbike or Car being driven like that and for such a long distance. Sometimes you might see them racing between 2 roundabouts but never over what, 5 plus miles. Even back in early 2000's it was too big a risk and both would have lost their licences instantly. Great footage though and I'm sure the R1 had plenty more 'in the tank'.
This video was just about the right amount of crazy.
This was in a day when you could kind of get away with alot.... now it's so risky as the level of car drivers has truly diminished....
The 90s and early 2000s was probably the best time.... evening runs on empty roads, weekends after 10pm was like a race track on ring roads with just a few lorrys on the roads with all feds in the city centre due to drinkers...
If the porker did that now on the roads most of the on coming drivers would see it as a easy claim and not swerve....
Still fair play to him for driving it like a driver... was in control it seemed and its not easy with a porker in the corners if you push them.... especially this old... 1999 W reg....
We don’t have a federal police force 😆
Not an easy claim when you die in a head-on fireball caused by two dipshits doing dipshit things.
I don't think I'd get in head on shunt with a Porsche doing 160mph just to put a claim in.
It was 1st registered 1 September 1994 and has since done 106k miles, it is still mot'ed, due to expire 31st March '22. Wonder if this is still with the original owner, or whether the current owner knows its history?
@@garethjohnstone8662 your not that kind of fool then, great to hear... sadly many people do have crashes like this and will happily put themselves in danger for a pay out... you really should look up insurance claims... working for insurance brokers in personal insurance I see this alot.... and the court cases would make you question if they are human or not... sadly many people are poor enough to do this... even if they drive...
You will even find many people in the uk purposely hurting themselves to get a claim or help... the uk in many town and city's are borderline 3rd world due to how the system works...
So yes as genuinely sad as it is for me to say people will and do regularly put themselves in harms way like in this instance to have a easy claim... and yes many do go out driving looking for such opportunities.... so very sad but also very true...
yeah my thoughts pretty much. the car was giving it everything and the bike was still holding back, even at the end when he was unleashing it a bit. You can tell he's a good rider as he's not going all-out even when he gets in front and has the opportunity to. You always need to leave a buffer for things to go wrong.
I drive a RS Q3, tuned to 390 hp. Once I raced with a S3 on motorway to 135Mph, then I braked let that guy passed. At that time I just realized that if anything happened, I won't see my lovely daughter again.
6 years on a 125cc with zero intention of ever getting anything more powerful, this stuff just makes me clench.
I have rode at the Manx Grand Prix the TT and Dundrod Proper racing on Closed Roads.
Never behave like this on public roads you will end up at the Mortuary i have lost friends and colleagues
I have seen the errors in behaviour If you want to drive or ride fast join a club get the proper training safely.
Never act like this on Public roads
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler owww really you sound tough
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler and Ronnie Pickering doesn't have a look in hahahaha
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler agreed, you are one of the hardest keyboard warriors I've come across....internet hard. Respect
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler created a few snowflakes tears in the past.... not proud of it but hey ho. Right I'm off, no smashing up cars in the future okay?
Now we're talking .Total respect to you. Often thought that some bike riders who think they're quick would find out that they aren't if they did what you have done.
I love the way you are leaning into some of the bends whilst watching.
Cheers bro entertaining as always.😊😊😊
I was smiling from ear to ear watching this. I've gone this fast many times, but never, never, never on anything less than a full-fledged highway, like your British motorways. The skill level of the car driver and the rider was superb. Way too reckless even for this lifelong renegade, but still a lot of fun to watch.
People on that side of the pond are so much more courteous, to say the least! In America, you'd never get away with that as someone would surely tighten up on that center-line.
I came back to biking nearly a year ago and have improved my handling and riding skills considerably since then. Watching this made me take stock of my own road attitude, that is going a little too fast overtaking cars unnecessarily at quite high speeds. This really made me think and realise, irrespective of how skilful you think you are the risk is so incredibly high increasing exponentially as you up every 10mph of speed. Time to calm down and start behaving intelligently on the road.
Glad you enjoyed my riding lol 😆
Damn! The chap in the Porsche seems to have immense car control. Those older Porsches like the 993s n 964s were notorious for being extremely tail happy. The Turbo versions were even nicknamed Widowmakers. However, extremely irresponsible to do this on such a fairly busy public road.
That’s a 993 cab, the first 911 with a multi link rear suspension. They were far less tail happy than previous iterations.
@@blubrdls1 Aah, I see. But still, this chap seems to have a good command over the car. I love the 993 body style. Especially that of the Carrera RS n GT2. They've all skyrocketed in value sadly n r quickly becoming unattainable.
Absolutely, the gent in the Porsche is skilled behind the wheel but as you said complete irresponsible. You’ve great taste in cars, the 3.8 RS and GT2 are amazing machines and to bad us mere mortals will never be able to have one!
he could be much faster by carrying more speed through the roundabouts and being less aggressive on the throttle. The motorbike rider had a harder time but put the bike closer to it's limits
The widowmaker was the GT2 since they where RWD versions of the Turbo on steroids.
I thought the rider must have known the driver, he was giving him so many chances and waiting for him at the junctions. You really don't want to be sitting on the bumper of any car at those speeds. That driver was driving like it was stolen, scary AF.
Excellent riding from the biker and fantastic driving from the driver...
Anybody knows what type of Porsche that was that looks like an old 993 and what year was that video aired Originally
Would love to see the R1 up against a modern 911 turbo, would be a much tighter race. Definitely best left for the track though, as many have noted this caper on public roads can go horribly wrong in the blink of an eye.
🤣
That Porsche is not a turbo thank god
It’s a carrera cabriolet
The new porsche 911 turbo would easily win.
@@MrSimplesimon007 that’s debatable against a new R1M… but the top speed of the modern Porsche is going to be higher.. and effortless to keep
It there as opposed to the biker who’ll be battling serious wind drag… kind of unfair in that respect.
Actually, even today in my country, things like this still happend, i have a Yamaha FZ1, and sometimes dudes on porsche´s, Audi´s, BMW´s they try to race me, and do stuff like this, but the thing is, im not even trying, im just ridding my normal way, and they try to race me. then i let them pass me, because i prefer to see them in front of me, and i feel its safer so they don´t crash against my rear when they do a bad brake or a bad corner, and in theyr face i can see that they feel that they are winning something, ffs i let you pass because i wanted to, not because you are faster than me. XD
Yes, ride on the roads, race on the tracks.
Keep a cnut in front...safer that way
Yes, always keep those German car drivers ahead, it's much safer. Or, just disappear out of their sight and leave them in your dust 😉
Another big problem is that people forget that brakes get hot, and when they overheat, they stop working!
Drivers should be doing long hard time in jail for that insanity risking so many lives.
Wait what the hell. Looking at that acceleration. That's easy on a Motorcycle.
But in a Car? That Porsche is legit "Moving", wow. Great Acceleration on that Porsche.

My friends brother, age 60s, decided to have a rat race on his new MC with a car that pulled up beside him at a red light. The car revved his car engine and they are off at the green light. A corner comes up leading onto a bridge and the brother can't make the corner and dies in an MC accident. I don't think the car driver even new what happened but the MC guys son saw what happened on his own MC. Unless you are a professional racer, don't even think about it. Go to a track like I did in my teens. Totally different experience on those corners. Taught me a lesson.
Like the guy said "time and place" the time and place for that is on the track not public roads , I took my car off the road and just do track days because like these at best it is a license killer , keep the racing for the track !!!
That porsche driver risked everyones lives.
And yet zero people died.
Almost like they were never really at risk.
This is a mega old video remember watching it years ago on a pirate dvd lol Awsome content to be fair 👍
couldn't resist doing an MOT check on the porsche, its a 1994 911 and has an valid MOT until June 2023 lol, its still going.
“The bike can easily squeeze past” - unless the porche plants it into oncoming traffic and instantly goes from 120 to 0. 😬
That was my biggest concern, too.
Damn I've always been a fast driver and a risk taker but that shot is crazy, I'd never take those kind of risks.... that shot is nuts
Same, i've done some utterly mad stuff. A copper once told me after i wrote off my mk1 Escort mexico in spectacular style 'next time you might not be so lucky!' I will never forget his words. This was the most reckless car chase i've seen yet. It was as if someone was running for their life!
@@DeuceBiggerHo LMFAO That's funny as hell.
I had a detective once pull me over It took him from Bothell Washington to Bellevue, Wa to catch up to me.
He told me I was lucky he wasn't state patrol because that would have been automatic 6 months in jail with at least $12,000 in fines.
I was lucky that all he wrote me for was a negligent driving citation and a $475 fine.
He said he had 26 violations on me and by the time he caught up to me I was a single occupant in the carpool lane.
He said he never seen anyone drive like that 🤣🤣🤣
@@ProudWhipoc 26 violations! 😂😂🤣🤣
love your videos xxxx
Just checked the reg of the Porsche (M777MJH) and it is in fact still on the road, amazingly!!
I watched this years ago, i thought then the 911 driver probably owns motorbikes and he knows what performance is!
Ah, that's OK then..
It was pretty clear that these guys knew each other, and were not racing. Many clues including at the end where the rider went back to meet at the lay-by having finished the task of making the video. Thank God for all the good drivers who allowed this to end without tragic consequences.
The strange thing about this is how the R1 perpetuates the race. He had lots of opportunities to disappear off into the distance, but he chose to feather the throttle and hang back instead. Was he just toying with him and enjoying watching it?
Max Wrist would have been at the side of that Porche doing his famous SloMo wheelie 😂
shaking your head, but that is what a skilled driver actually looks like. perfect riding on the rider's side as well.
by the way, I do not condone this type of behavior on the roadway.
@@konceptarts1270
Neither do I.
Almost got jailed for something like this when I was 17.
Then I had a friend who was decapitated and killed at 17 years old when his car hit a tree at 90mph….He killed a couple of 15 year old girls (he had 3 female passengers) as well in that crash.
One of them only survived, as she was thrown out of the car upon impact with the verge, that then launched the car into the tree…She lost a leg and suffered seriously life changing injuries though.
It was a farmer who saved her life, as the crash happened just down from the farmers house.
He kept the girl alive until an air ambulance arrived….The crash was bad enough to make national news and the farmers son was the first to see the occupants of the car…..I remember him saying he needed therapy after seeing what he saw.
I reckon a good idea for your reaction videos would be watching a motorbike accident compilation and giving tips on why they crashed and how they could have avoided it in your opinion etc.
Superb idea!!
No mate do that on ur own when ur depressed! 🤣🤣🤣 Let’s us have some fun here…
No mate we want the races not the crashes 😂😂😂 the boring Channels do that
If you need tips to avoid such accidents, that are usually pretty obvious, maybe you should use public transport from now on to make the roads safer 👍🏻
I mean, that was bad ass. I clicked on to see a race and I saw a race. I'd be disappointed if I hadn't. Well done and honest, cheers.
The 90s were fun golden age of motorcycles
Decent little race to be fair 👍
These guys should lose the privilege to be on the road even in a push car. How many people they put at risk with this insanity?
I am sure that by now that car has been seized and crushed.
I’m from that era of road racing. That’s exactly how it was done back then. Yes you’d get people on the horn occasionally as you flew by, but most just didn’t care. It was different back then.
I met the guy riding the r1 this time last year wint say to nuch but he was a courier he i was so pumped to meet him iv seen this bideo 1000's of times as its a local road to me and i know it well
Videos about 20 years old
@rosskerr9909 yes I know it is it was filmed on the a 57 near me in worksop Sheffield way. I said I spoke to him.last year not he did the video last year
Was the bike rider a kid?! Childish emotions on the street ain’t gonna end well. We learn early on a motorcycle you can’t hold a grudge against bad drivers, just focus forward. Stock 993 has only 280hp maybe that was a turbo or kompressor.
kompressor is just german for turbo isnt it?
@@croikeymatesthrowashrimpon8130 Nope. A "Kompressor" is a supercharger run by the engine, whereas a turbocharger is run by the exhaust gases. A turbo in German is "Turbolader".
First saw this quite a while ago and my opinion hasn't changed - absolutely selfish lunacy. Take it to a track day, don't play with people's lives. Interestingly, if you read the comments on the original posting people are gushing in their admiration of this pair of twats. Watch the 170mph Cornish crash (can't remember the exact title but you'll find it) to see how badly it can go wrong.
This footage is decades old, those roads and roundabouts around Worksop are completely different now
Beautiful race
Just hope no one got done for being show on TH-cam going completely mad like that 😲
DAMN! You took the words out of my head! Intense and dumb! That porsche took WAY too many risks in passing. But the R1, wow. Didn't even break a sweat at all until the end and See ya!
Which is why the Porsche driver was better
Interesting to see the cars on the road. Felt older than 22 years.
I'm in my 50's, and like most who watch these clips, have done some stupid things on public roads. We used to modify Mk1 & II Ford Cortina's and Escort's, 2.0 blocks, bigger carbies, cams, cold air boxes & exhaust systems. They were quick enough and we all had accidents of varying intensity. The major difference is this. A Ford Escort 2.0 in stock form put out 70kw/140nm so our modified versions may have increased that by 20kw. The cost not only of cars, but good parts in the 1980s was very high compared to today as parts were made from high quality metals, manufactured in Japan, USA or Europe. Todays cars and parts, manufactured with cost in mind ,are cheap and a simple computer program for editing the ecu can unlock 100kw+ on a factory turbo car already rated at over 200kw. There will always be people that drive beyond their ability which is more evident today with high output budget packages everywhere. The sheer volume of traffic these days combined with varying road surface quality has made driving difficult at the best of times, especially when 4 out of 5 accidents involve the driver on their mobile device. High performance, public roads combined with easily distracted and inexperienced drivers is simply a recipe for disaster. Anybody who rides a motorcycle must assume every other road user can turn into a lethal threat in a milisecond. Braking at 60km takes 36 metres. From 80kms takes 58 meters. 20kms faster adds over 25 meters to where you come to a stop. Basically, add 20 meters for every 20km/h above 60km/h. A Stopping Distance Calculator has some very disturbing distances and forces involved and I strongly advise everyone to have a complete understanding of these. Enjoy your cars and bikes, be safe and always remember, a licence is a privilege, not a right.
I’m an ex paramedic motorcycle responder with 20 years service and I still ride bikes,these fools are utter idiots, you getting excited by this is not good either. I’ve seen so much devastation caused by irresponsible drivers/ riders like these. It’s utter stupidity and think about the sorrow and grief that this can bring to families. On a foot note thanks for saying your bit at the end.
Paid your mortgage.
@@ylgukcuf1618 just about, no mortgage now, got a job that payed 3 x more.
@@jimjoelliejack Street racing?
Need more sports car drivers on the road like this dude!! 🤪 ✌️
we can all have our own opinions of this but one thing for certain is that the porsche driver was a straight demon with the wheel
so these R1s......are they a good beginner's bike?
These people should be in jail ! Go on a track if you want to drive/ride/race like this.
That porsche is probably stolen
Ud b thrown off a track day riding/driving like that
I miss the old days, when you could get away with this sort of thing.
The Porsche driver later that day “Oh mate you should’ve seen it, a Yamaha R1 even struggled to keep up with me”
🤣🤣🤣
this was on the A57 Anston/Shireoaks worksop towards Clumber Park. i used to ride that road alot and drive it with parents from Crystal peaks area.
i remember this being posted and everybody and there itiot mate in a car and bike wanted to ride like this down there as a result.
I had a friend who used to drive a car like that, didn’t matter if they’re was a corner or not he would pass people and this would always be with a car full of us. And now to this day I hate not being the person in control of the vehicle
Yup ! I can relate to that. 1 head on later and 2 weeks in critical condition. I don't let many people drive me around anymore.
if all drivers were as good as that porsche driver there would be way less accidents on the roads, total skill and full control , as a life long biker myself i can guarantee you that if your going to get wiped out on a bike it wont be by guys like the porsche driver it will be by some doddering useless fool doing the shopping run or school run.
utter nonsense.... seriously... look at what you've written. It's complete rubbish and shows a complete misunderstanding of risk.
@@SuperMiloBass would you like some cheese to go with your whine you big puff.
Good old Worksop on the A57, It always was a bit of fun.
Is this KPH or MPH?
