Sure I'll give him a trophy, how 'bout a Darwin Award? He's lucky he didn't kill himself. Sorry but going THAT fast on an open highway is just stupid.

Versus going that fast on a racetrack?
My question is, what was the traffic like? Other cars? Or was the road totally open, thereby only creating a hazard to -himself-?

Yes versus on a racetrack. While in my opinion going that fast on a motorcycle even on a racetrack is pretty dumb, at least is cuts down on other people getting hurt because of what he was doing.

There was a guy in Kansas City last month who was going 130 on a HIGH overpass. He couldn't make the slow curve of the road and ended up ramming the bike into the wall. He landed several hundred feet away from the bike.

Yikes.
I'm a puss, my bike hits 80 and I'm getting nervous. I don't usually go above 70. Maybe I just like living too much.

Well it couldn't have been a Harley, it was going over 100mph.
