Suicidal Tendencies: Yamaha R1 Can't Keep Up with Mercedes SL63 AMG Above…300km/h

Add this video to the list of things one should never, ever do on a public road. Purportedly filmed in Sweden, the footage from the biker's helmet shows the Yamaha R1 rider chasing what is said to be a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG (it looks like an SL AMG, but there's no way of telling which one it is and whether it's a regular or tuned model from the clip).

The foolish duo reach speeds of 299km/h (186mph) with the Mercedes-Benz going even faster at some points – and all this, not on the Autobahn, but on a single lane, two way freeway with cars constantly coming from the opposite direction!

Absurd? We think so. Watch the two and a half minute-long clip right below the jump and then tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Meet Vicky. She's the New Motorcycle Sensation from Greece

Would you ever hand over the keys of your car or motorcycle to a friend who doesn't know how to drive? Well, we guess the answer to that question largely depends on the time and place, how much you value your ride and your…friendship, and possibly your motives as well.

After watching this video, you'll likely question the motives of the Greek owner of this Yamaha light motorcycle who let his female friend try out his bike, all while encouraging (and not in a sensible way) and filming her.

Here's the rough translation of what he says to her in Greek: "Come on Vicky, give it throttle you retard. Give it, give it".

And, well, Vicky foolishly listened to her…we'd like to believe, former friend after this incident, and she gave it all that she had. The results can be seen in the following video.
