I note that if the speedo was accurate at one point the guy was doing 160mph-ish! That's just at the point at which he's on the wrong side of the road with the lorry coming in the opposite direction!
Have any of you heard of ghostrider? For some years he has been chased by police all over Europe but never caught. He always films his stunts and has quite a cult following. I believe he has now given up and has been identified as a Swedish rider. There are a lot of his videos around and your heart will be in your mouth. Watch this one where he has a race on public roads with a Swedish race driver in a BMW Z3M Coupe. This is part 1 (5mins). The other parts are shown in the next column if you want to see more.
Rick sent me one a long time ago (I still have it somewhere) of a chappie on an R1 filming himself doing 180ish (if I remember right) and a Hyabusa comes flying past him!!
No matter what you've got.. there's always someone with a little more under their tank
I like Toby's comment that it will wheelie because it has excess torque Nice to see all those years of education weren't wasted
Ok I could have said it wheelies cos it has a madman riding it? that better? If was just adding to what someone said ealier about the power (power being velocity x torque ), but its the torque that allows it to do that....
....anyway... it was either that or get in to a debate about "yes its dangerous... but it sure looks like fun"
