An extremely accomplished rider aboard an early Suzuki GSXR 1100 G,H, or J (the bike known as "The Widowmaker" and responsible for a 750cc engine capacity limit for a number of years at the Isle of Man Time Trials).
A rider known as "The Black Prince" shows an unusually fearless response to French traffic conditions. Only near death experience causes a brief backing off from the red-line on the rev counter.
The first time I was shown this video I was told that the rider was killed on a second attempt to beat 11 minutes. Mark Sheldon
