Gixxer Brah Arrested After Viral Video of High-Speed Motorcycle Ride (Full Video)
Gixxer Brah found himself in legal trouble after a video of his high-speed motorcycle ride gained widespread attention. In this viral YouTube footage, an unidentified motorcyclist, often referred to as “Gixxer Brah,” embarks on a daring 20-minute journey from Colorado Springs to Denver on I-25.
The video captures Gixxer expertly maneuvering through traffic at speeds exceeding 170 mph on a picturesque Centennial Day. He skillfully navigates onto the shoulder, weaves through lanes, all while dodging other vehicles.
To put it in perspective, the average driver would require an hour or more to complete the same journey, adhering to the 75 mph speed limit.
It’s crucial to consider the risks motorcyclists face, especially when assessing the role of speed in motorcycle accidents. Riding a motorcycle carries inherent risks, even when riders follow all traffic laws and wear appropriate safety gear.
High speeds can significantly reduce an individual’s awareness of their surroundings and their ability to react to rapidly changing road conditions. Motorcyclists, with just two wheels, are particularly vulnerable when making split-second decisions in hazardous situations.
Gixxer Brah, known for his motorcycle videos on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook, often showcases illegal riding practices.
In the video shared recently, Gixxer Brah enters I-25 in Colorado Springs and accelerates to a staggering 170 miles per hour. After weaving through three lanes of traffic, skillfully maneuvering between cars and trucks, he reaches the outskirts of Denver in approximately 20 minutes.
Considering the posted speed limit on this route is 75 miles per hour, most drivers would take significantly longer to cover the same distance.
While many viewers admired the rider’s skill in accomplishing this high-speed journey, others criticized him for engaging in reckless behavior that endangered not only himself but also others on the road.
The video of this motorcyclist’s daring ride quickly went viral, amassing over 80,000 views in just two days, and his social media following grew to over 200,000 members. The video, showcasing his high-speed ride, can be found on his YouTube channel under the name “Gixxer Brah.”
Gixxer Brah appears entirely at ease on his motorcycle, seemingly unfazed by any speed. He nonchalantly discusses his experiences during a drag race from Colorado Springs to Denver.
Most people struggle to maintain even the 75 mph speed limit on the highway, let alone reach speeds of 140 mph on a motorcycle. If a highway patrol officer had attempted to pursue someone traveling at such high speeds, the risks would escalate significantly.
The potential fines for Gixxer Brah, had he been caught by law enforcement traveling at 140 mph, would have been substantial. Exceeding the speed limit by at least 25 miles per hour often results in a Class 2 violation or worse, which can carry significant fines and, in some jurisdictions, even jail time.
Furthermore, accumulating six or more points on one’s driving record due to a single violation, as may happen with excessive speeding, can lead to a license suspension in Colorado and many other jurisdictions.
