how do we know it wasn't emergency riding? looks like the light turns red and his only escape route was betwen the cars; or else plow into the back of the white car. not to mention the silver van making a u-turn.

I usually try to avoid posting something negative about a post, but I had to in this case. It's certainly nothing personal, but you've apparently never ridden a motorcycle at any length/mileage because we're constantly looking for escape routes when riding.
but I'm with you in that there are a ton of morans out there on sportbikes. but I honestly don't think it's the case here.

Perhaps he just REALLY needed to get home and take a shit?

really emergency situation? Light was yellow going on red, with cars already slowing and stopped, he decided to blow through there and looks like he might of hit their mirrors. Karma will find him, or hopefully his youtube channel will get him arrested like that other jackass this week.
dude, shi happens so fast in traffic on a bike. there's no room for error. you don't have a seat belt; or a steel cage around you. maybe he took his eyes off the road a bit and looked up to see the light gonig to red with cars stopping directly in front of him. maybe he was following too closely.
regardless, I would do the exact same thing in that situation. we also don't know about any traffic in the rear either. when I ride I'm also keeping an eye on the rear too. you could get slammmed from behind (NTTAWWT) . For me, it was abslotely evasive action. regardless of how he put himself in the situation
