Well there's a pair of idiots...

The reg. number of the Porsche is clearly visible as is the apparent speed of the M/cycle. Wouldn't take much for the cops to track him/her down and he/she would probably shop the rider for posting the video !

I hope they both end up around a lamp post one day instead of hitting a family car

Also if police officers risk there life to stop them they stay safe and emergency services are not held up from dealing with other accidents

2 awesome machines but wrong time wrong place

That porche is bloody quick

Just sent this to my cousin and he says he had an R1 and 190mph was a doddle and the biker in the video was a wuss for backing off when he could of taken the Porsche

He is currently recovering from a broken back after a french driver changed lanes and wiped him out  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

In my opinion this is so pathetic it is unbelievable, this is how innocent people are killed and families are destroyed. Get on a track if you need to show how good you are at driving fast. I would bang them both up for a long time given the chance.

That's not a turbo, despite what the opening credits say.
It , to me, looks like the 911 is being driven by someone who has just stolen it! The times he nearly took out other cars is unbelievable,and the way he is pulled right over into the ditch, I'm not sure he was mearly pulling over to let the bike by. At those speeds that was insane!
I like my bikes, but the pair of them are beyond idiotic!

The r1 could of passed that 911 all day!

Personally I'm a zx10r rider and had other 1000cc sports bike and this happens more often than people think, the police won't pursue if they feel there is danger to life but do follow at a reduced distance if possible. Which is why there are a lot of James Bond flip plates fitted to sports bikes.

The track is more of a suitable place but sense of speed is lost on a track hence why this goes on. It's a very stupid idea posting videos of such actions online though.

IMHO while both the Porshe driver and bike rider are clearly being reckless in this video, the rider is pretty much being reckless mainly with only with his own life and safety, The Porshe driver however often overtakes in the face of on coming vehicles that fortunately all manage to swerve out of his way and avoid a collision.

An on coming articulated lorry, not quite so able so agile and able to swerve out of his way would no doubt have very likely resulted in a very different end to this video !!!!

hmm we've all been on the wrong side of the speed limit, i came from an m3 to the rrs, but this is just plain stupid, the number of near misses is mad, theres a time and a place for speed and weeving around inocent traffic isnt one of them, the biker is as much at fault as if they are strangers i have no doubt the porcshe would have slowed down had he backed off to 60 or changed route.

I drive this stretch of road most days (A57 Worksop bypass) and although it is a very fast road these speeds are mental . Especially the bit on the single carriageway overtaking into oncoming traffic
