I would say my usual slogan about darwin and how evolution weeds on the weak but I think these guys figured out a way to beat it.

WELL SAID!

It's remarkable how their riding makes everyone around them seem so pathetic!

frikkin morons. Endangering the lives of everyone around them, not caring if anyone else gets hurt so they can pump up thier inflated egos even more.  They need to get thier asses kicked and thier bikes thrown into a trash compactor.

I'm with ya man, this is just stupid.  Very skilled riders that are a disgrace to the sport by doing that stupid shit on the street...its a shame because of their talent. 

These idiots give us all a bad name. 

Would he be able to toss around a monster like that?

Someome asked how to turn doing a wheelie!  There ya go. 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Think of all the money you can save never needing a new front tire!

Uhh, you did say videos... where are that rest 

I agree that it was crazy and hope they don't die... I've seen a couple crazy riders like that in France before (they start young), but I have to say that it's nothing compared to the insanity that I've seen in Spain and Italy!

One thing to note is that in general the average driver on the roads in any of those countries is MILES better than the average driver is here. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply for any of the other million things that could go wrong on those roads.

Hmmm a DR-Z 400 would be fun... or maybe a HyperMotard

Does anyone recognize the make/model of the hooligan's bike?

That's just how they roll in France right?

I toured all over France in a cage 3 separate times for about a month each time & really saw some outstanding 2 wheeled action...

Supermotos doing looong rolling stoppies into roundabouts, superbikes burning out as they accelerate into (rather unsafe looking) lane-splitting passing. Many triple-digit flyby's on the superhighways.. Many many many lane splitting maneuvers on two way roads... I even saw a delivery scooter totally lock 'em up & drift into a hard right hander in a city. Seems like aggression is the common factor amongst the moto riders there!

One thing is the drivers in France are about a zillion times more aware than typical American drivers, so at least there's a slightly higher chance the drivers will 'notice' you before they cut you off...

that was INSANE!! but amazing, i love that curvey road

Holy S@#$! I think my jaw was on the ground for pretty much all of that video. Part of me agrees wholeheartedly with SaltLick, but there is a part of me that really wishes I had the mad skills those guys have. So I guess you look "Squid" up in the dictionary and these guys pop up, eh?

Nah... they're too skilled to be considered squids... stupid yes, squids no... Here's a definition from urban dictionary:
1.    Squid       
A young motorcyclist who overestimates his abilities, boasts of his riding skills when in reality he has none. Squid bikes are usually decorated with chrome and various anodized bits. Rear tyres are too wide for their own good, swingarm extended. Really slow in the corners, and sudden bursts of acceleration when a straight appears. Squids wear no protection, deeming themselves invincible. This fact compounds intself with the fact that they engage in 'extreem riding'--performing wheelies and stoppies in public areas. Squids wreck alot. Derived from 'squirly kid'
