Default Daredevil or dumbass, biker breaks the mold

Anyone look at the video on the HDF homepage? Although crazy and reckless, the skills are impressive enough to sell his ability on the professional level.
He could be the headline attraction at any motorcycle meet. Notice his use of the rear brake to control the angle of the wheelie.

When I clicked on the link and saw no shirt and no helmet I didn't watch the video. I already knew the answer "DUMBASS"

Yeah, while his skills are impressive, for sure, this is so reckless, it's hard to watch. This is exactly the kind of video that'll get you thrown in jail, if the local cops happen to figure out it's you...

.....dumbass. not much more to be said. honestly, I don't care if he kills himself. it's the soccer mom and four little girls in the minivan that goes off the road and flips avoiding him that concerns me.

Ok, aside from the comments, something Ive always wondered about when I see these videos on YT. How can these motors run for the distances that many do? Isnt there an issue with the oil and lubrication?

The feed for the oil pump is at the back of the tank...doesn't mind being vertical...
