Try not to squirm as you watch this epic bike duel

The video above is motorsport’s version of trying not to lick your lips while eating a doughnut.
If you can get through the full three-and-a-bit minutes of footage above without squirming, hiding behind your sweaty palms or clanging your jaw on the floor, you’re made of stronger stuff than us.
What you’re witnessing is professional sideburn enthusiast and part-time nut job road-racer, Guy Martin, duelling with equally unhinged biker Michael Dunlop during the 2012 Ulster Grand Prix Superbike race.
It may be an old clip, but it’s a goodie. With F1 a little, um, predictable at the moment, this clip is a welcome reminder of how incredibly exciting close, high-speed racing can be.
With Guy Martin leading the opening four laps of the main superbike race, Dunlop managed to catch up, sparking a tremendous showdown of speed, ballsy late braking and impossibly committed overtakes round the 7.4-mile Northern Irish circuit.
Hitting speeds in excess of 190mph on public roads – quite a feat considering the size and weight of man-veg the two riders must be carrying – they slipstream and jostle for position while swapping paint at eye-watering speeds.

I race bikes.... but frick that. One slight mistake and you're either dead or very seriously injured. The skill required to do that is just unbelievable.

No seriously, no squirm here. The only one that lies like a bitch is when I got your mom on her back.

Hell the people standing on the side of the road are bigger risk takers than me

You would have to have 5lbs. of balls and enough hair on your arse to weave an Indian blanket to do that!

I used to do this all the time on Sega Genesis except instead of like these pussies I was knocking my opponents off their bikes with a bat.

I squirmed and it was mainly due to the shots of the first-person rider going through the shadows under the trees. It looked almost blind at those speeds, not knowing what bend was coming next.

These guys must not have anything worth living for.
What in the frick
Those spectators too...
This is one of those things you think is cool until someone dies and then you realize it's just good old Darwininism at play
