OT: Insane moto video
Sorry for posting an OT but I think you guys should see this!
John H posted on the 964T board a very cool link of a French website with on track video's of a 964T.
<a href="http://www.benphotos.fr.st/" target="_blank">Benoit site</a>
On that page there is an absolutely insane video from a guy who did on a motorcycle the Paris "peripheral" or orbital for the Brits or loop for us, in 11 minutes!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> That road which I have driven several times makes a complete loop around Paris and it is always full of traffic. This guy is really lucky he did not get killed...on some instances he is doing 155mph!!! The video is long but you got to watch this:

Hi Danny,
You are correct about the bike video it is totally insane and one that I have seen before. The guy called himself the Black Prince and posted a time of 11min 4secs for the circuit of the Peripherique which if I remember correctly is 35 km (21.7 miles).I am also pretty sure he maxed out at 290 kph which if my maths serve me is 180 mph max and an average of 117.65 mph.
The reason I said " he called himself the Black Prince" is that he went again the following year to see if he could improve his "record" and killed himself.
Probably the worst example of reckless driving I have ever seen!!! I personally have no problem at all with speed but only where it is safe to do so this video is a demonstration of total lunacy and a complete disregard for the lives of others. Luckily I seem to remember that he did not kill anyone else when he did crash - if he had I doubt people like myself would still be able to purchase/ride 180mph+ Superbikes.
Still enough of the <img border="0" alt="[soapbox]" title="" src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" /> watching it will leave you speachless!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> !! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Absolutely insane. His closing speeds w/cars & trucks was so high they were little more than rolling slaloms. I believe the bike was a Kawasaki ZXR750.

And there's a link to the legendary Ari Vatanen video of driving up Pikes Peak in a Peugeot turbo... Along with the yellowbird video, one of the best driving films of all time
