Cops looking for motorcyclist who did 180mph from COS to DEN

[AntivaxHunters]

This is effin' nuts!
This video has gone viral & cops are looking for him.
He did a speed run on a motorcycle from Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 FRICKIN' MINUTES up I-25 daytime in traffic! He reached speeds up to nearly 200mph! I couldn't watch all over it, my anxiety was too much watching him cut between cars & slicing in between them at almost 200mph.

Nobody knows who this guy is but he has to be a professional motorcycle racer.
This is insane stuff!

1. What an ass!

He ignores the effect his recklessness could have on other drivers.

Inexcusable.

[debm55]

24. I was going to post the same. Every single driver he passed could have had an accident. It's selfish

and dangerous. I hope he gets caught.

[ailsagirl]

50. A threat to everyone around him

[Shermann]

2. That dude has balls

It looks like he's wearing a t-shirt and regular shoes instead of any kind of racing gear. Just out for a Sunday drive!

[Skittles]

19. ?

what does possessing *THE* most delicate body part have to do with anything?

[Shermann]

23. Yeah masculinity is STILL a metaphor for bravery

Right or wrong, it is what it is.

[Skittles]

28. no

it's "what it is" when people STILL promote sexist garbage

[Shermann]

29. That dude is courageous

That doesn't really have the same pizzazz, does it?

I'm afraid Hemingway was right, having balls is much more expressive.

And on top of all that, "lady balls" is a thing now.

[ZZenith]

36. People often confuse "reckless" with "courageous."

There’s nothing courageous about needlessly endangering the lives of every single person on one of the busiest stretches of highway in the inter-mountain west.

“Irresponsible” works.

“Selfish” applies.

“Deplorable” is certainly apt.


“Courageous?” No, huh-uh.

[likesmountains 52]

37. Courageous? Nope...wrong adjective.

[Shermann]

42. I agree...read the whole post nt

[Skittles]

39. omfg

DONE HERE

[debm55]

25. He was a menace to all drivers he encountered. He wants to drive like that, go out in the desert.

[SalamanderSleeps]

4. Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

[hlthe2b]

5. Oh, gawd. I know that stretch so well: when he got to the Ikea at County Line Road/Park Meadows Mall

I know how damned congested it is. That there was no construction on his entire route shocks me as the Northern Front Range from WY Border south to Denver has been nothing but all summer.

This made me absolutely nauseous as I've had aggressive (car) drivers be almost as reckless. I hope to hell they catch this ass. The video should be taken down so as to avoid "copycats."

[AntivaxHunters]

6. Ah you're from here then!

Notice at the beginning the accent & how he basically says he's not from here? I'll give you 1 good guess where he's from & I'd place a bet on it too! LoL

[hlthe2b]

11. I hear some accent markers, but I couldn't say for sure. Where do you think?

Texas?

[AntivaxHunters]

12. Ding ding!

[hlthe2b]

13. Yeah. He's got a bit of that

Matthew McConaughey pattern going on there.

[Celerity]

32. here he is gassing up for a date, so TX is a good guess

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. Bicycle gloves, tennis shoes, shirt sleeve shirt.

Yeah, that’s a professional. Taking his hands off the handlebars to check his phone? A totally professional move.

That bike will show up in his other videos.

In another video, you can clearly see he’s on a Kawasaki Ninja with a Riley’s Powersports logo on top of the tank.

[Shermann]

21. I can respect the t-shirt and sneakers thing, I used to ride that way myself

The texting while driving is a bit much for me though.

[ZZenith]

8. 10% of every population consists of sociopaths according to some estimates.

“Gixxer Brah” is definitely a ten-percenter.

[marble falls]

9. It's all fun and games until someone trips and falls, poking an eye out.

[likesmountains 52]

10. What an entitled ass.

Hope they find him and charge him with everything possible.

[Chainfire]

14. Is that real?

If so, he is recklessly endangering other people's lives. He needs that bike shoved,-- --- ---,sideways.

His will be a self correcting problem, lets just hope that it is a against a bridge piling or a tree rather than a families car. There are too many variables that are not under his control to sustain that kind of riding.

[AntivaxHunters]

16. Yes very real

Featured on local Denver tv too

[Shermann]

20. That 400 lb bike would just create a small thud on a 4000 lb car

...barely an inconvenience.

[Chainfire]

22. 400 lbs traveling at 160 miles an hour is a potential bomb. 350,000 ft/lbs. give or take.

Have you ever seen the damage a 100 pound deer can to to a car driving 70 MPH? That is not counting the damage from the reaction of the driver, if he or she survives. Think in terms of the idiot kids dropping rocks off an overpass, killing drivers.

[Shermann]

27. Oh he can make a big mess of a wreck, no doubt

That said, I've never heard of a motorcyclist killing the driver of a car in a crash. That said, it doesn't make it right.

Everybody who goes out on the highway puts others at risk of a collision. For most, the risk is low, and we brush it off. For some, it's high. This guy is medium. I see closer calls on my commute every week it seems, this guy has serious skills.

[Mr.Bill]

15. I could do that.

[keithbvadu2]

17. He is going so fast that even somebody checking their mirrors would not realize he's coming up behin

He is going so fast that even somebody checking their mirrors would not realize he's coming up behind them so they might be changing lanes.

[Shermann]

18. In a way, going between cars is safer

No sudden lane changes to deal with

You just have to watch out for those big honkin' mirrors that trucks have nowadays.

[Earth-shine]

26. Just one little pothole ...

or blowout, or car turning into a lane ... and he'll be smeared out over half a mile of road.

I get nervous doing 20MPH on my scooter.

Frankly, I hope the cops get him.

[chouchou]

30. My problem..

..with the post is not the person who posted it, but I have to ask the logical question>

There are NO police officers on that stretch of highway and (apparently) nobody called the police, in order to
perhaps? stop traffic and catch this dangerous person? There ARE police helicopters.

I certainly could have missed something here...

[debm55]

33. I watched the whole thing. The was a black vehicle with bright yellow paint printed on the side. I

Thought it was a police car. Then as I watched I was thinking it wasn't real. Looked too much like the games you played at the arcade.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Guy Is Nuts

I don't care about his skill level, what's he doing is crazy.

[debm55]

34. and unsafe.

[Bristlecone]

35. He's a dick

How many cars swerved reactively and potentially had an accident due to his passing them on the left and right shoulders, splitting at 160+, etc etc. ? I’d bet a rear camera would show what his wake causes.

I have driven that road too many times to count, before the HOA lane northbound past AF Academy, and now(after). It is a mess with trash on the shoulders. He’s lucky.

And he mentioned a lot of traffic, that was super light south of Monument and from Castle Rock up to County Line, where he called it.

He should go up to Montana and ride from Billings to South Dakota. Not in heavily trafficked areas where I and my kids drive. Again, he’s a dick.

[VMA131Marine]

38. Not condoning what he did at all

He’s lucky he’s not dead.

However, there is a long history of this kind of thing. The record time for driving across the US from NYC to Redondo Beach, CA is 25 hours and 39 minutes which works out to an average speed of 110 mph! That was set in 2021.

[Shermann]

47. There are similar contests at the Tail of the Dragon

That's a public highway as well. Those speed runs are actually more dangerous than this in my opinion (actually banking and turning is required), although this is risky as hell.

I'm the outlier here but I see value to what he's doing. Anybody who is frustrated by congestion on the highways and/or fearful of speed can vicariously feel a rush and sense of freedom watching this jackass' videos while they toil away in the office.

[LudwigPastorius]

40. He's not the brightest bulb in the lighting aisle.

Darwin will have his day.

[Emile]

41. I seen idiots like this in my travels. Motorcycles are everywhere, stay alert.

[LuckyCharms]

43. I first saw this on Reddit the other day.

I have a pretty strong opinion about this fucking asshole.

[hunter]

44. I did something similar once when I was a young idiot on a borrowed superbike...

...from the Southern California coast to Death Valley, at night.

wikipedia

The cops thought I had some kind of death wish whenever they caught me doing shit like this. I didn't get caught that time.

I never felt suicidal or anything. Looking back, from what I know now, it mostly happened when my major depressive disorder was spiraling out of control and I needed to feel something. Usually I just ran and ran and ran but sometimes I did more dangerous stuff.

As my commentary on this dangerous idiot, if anyone has ever called my wife a "Latina girl" (see post 32 above) she's never told me how she disposed of the body parts.

[pansypoo53219]

45. where's darwin?

[Laffy Kat]

46. Probably has a death wish.

He is risking taking others with him, though. Not cool.

[Codifer]

48. For some reason,

this makes me think of "Vanishing Point".

But makes less sense.

[Elessar Zappa]

49. My dad was a dare devil on his motorcycle when he was young.

He always tells me he’s lucky he didn’t get killed doing some of the stuff he did.
