Stu-pid Riding video

[TheRuffellator]

Another biking friend (ooh friend..) of mine just posted this, haven't seen it in yonks but I guess the title says it all really! Worth a watch, couple of decent tunes if you're into that kind of thing. I'm sure I've seen that Evo buzzing round H Caf before...

That has indeed worked, cheers dude

I will leave my opinions on these kinds of videos to one side for a moment and simply say I don't believe that those speedo readings are right. Backup with the lack of engine noise being heard.

Could be wrong but there you go.

[TheRuffellator]

I have no idea to be honest mate, My guess with the music is just something else to listen to other than engine noise, they're definetly not hanging about! I know the police chase with the beemer is staged, I'll see if I can find the newspaper article about it

[stuR]

Nice n legal..

[TheRuffellator]

I'll add that I don't condone this or agree with it anything, I'm just sharing it :smt051 I wouldnt say no to that Evo though [-o<

[stuR]

That makes two of us then :P

[TheRuffellator]

One day.. *Has distant look in eyes*

Having watched about 45 seconds of that, I can say with utter certainty that those speedo readings are complete fantasy.

[stuR]

Im fairly sure a few bits are sped up too, it just doesnt look right.

[TheRuffellator]

Not that I'm disputing what you're saying in the slightest, but I'd be interested as to why you're so certain?

[Red Herring]

I got about 4'20" in and decided the rider was a complete idiot. Just because he can ride a bike quickly and doesn't appear to have any interest in preserving his own life doesn't give him the right to endanger others the way he does. There's a time and place for riding like that, it's called the TT, not the A whatever it was......

[aesmith]

Speedo reading in km/h?

[Griff-SV]

Stu-pid rider = TOOL

[TheRuffellator]

The title says it all really...

[KobayashiMaru]

He just seems to be a bell end. I did hear rumours when it first came out that he was a racer somewhere. In the vid he challenges Ghost Rider who says no problem if it's at the Ring. He then backs out of it. That says it all

[KobayashiMaru]

Pretty sure Evo's aren't geared to do 180mph anyway

[TheRuffellator]

It's obviously been ****ed about with quite a bit! Yeah I'm pretty sure I read somewhere they both got time for that video. Yeah they say no to a track race and he says no to a road race. Some of the overtakes do make you cringe though! F'in idiots

[Runako]

Yep, Speedo's are wrong at the high speed stuff (140+) and some of the footage sped up slightly (between 3-5 minutes ... I only got this far) despite their proclamations that its not.

[TheRuffellator]

Yeah given speedos are always a bit out, but a gixxer thou isn't going to be hanging around in 6th gear at the top end of the revs! Some of it does look a bit sped up though :smt015

[Fordward]

This particular version of the video may well have been tampered with, I don't know, but on the original the speeds were quite real and he was hitting an indicated 170 (probably just over 150mph in reality).

The rider was raided by police, the original digital media and camera equipment seized, and the video used as evidence to send him to jail.

[TheRuffellator]

Apparently they traced minute details on the bike to the bike on the video, got to be a muppet to post something like that and think your going to get away with it!
