I must admit I enjoy these sorts of things.....the kind of thing I'd love to do, but am too sensible! (Sensible, relatively anyway....)
I was struck by the other traffic on the M-way section. If you were following someone in the outside lane, you'd normally expect them to pull in after they'd overtaken something, but that clearly isn't the way things are done in Portugal! He goes straight for the middle lane - in the UK you'd probably be collected by the car in front pulling back in. And of course, most Portuguese drivers seem far too posh to use the inside lane.......

Definitely enjoyable to watch and some lovely roads and scenery but dangerous, selfish riding with no regard to other road users. If he rides like that regularly sooner or later he'll get wiped out or even worse kill someone else.

For some reason that vid also makes me really want one of those BMWs too (not that I could or would ride it like that) riding.gif

A good 'making progress' ride.
Did he need to be somewhere. I assume it was a male.

This guy's a paragon of virtue compared to the Moscow R1 rider video that was circulating a year or so ago. That really was insane!!! (and dangerous).
