Actual Speed Video of "Crazy Biker Cruising Through Traffic"

I downloaded the video from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SetgRrdJiGs and loaded it into Adobe Premiere Pro, reduced the playback speed by 50% - which gives us the actual-speed video of these "insane" bikers.

In reality, when you watch this clip of the original video at the speed it was recorded, you can see that these are not amazingly gifted high-speed bikers. They are just ordinary squids, going too fast (over 120mph) through congested traffic.

As a rider myself, I hate to see altered videos like the original spreading the idea to non-riders that they can literally fly through traffic with no consequences. While fast, too fast for the traffic, these riders are hardly pushing the envelope. Look up videos of amateur riders during a track day to see some real skill and real unedited speed.

This is an abbreviated clip of the original, re-encoding and uploading takes time. Four minutes of the real video should be enough to show the truth.

The engine does sound a bit low for the revs that are displayed but looking at the car blinkers I would say this is very close to the true speed. I think it should be a bit faster though.

Nice to see the truth behind 'thedriver's video!
