Did you know a motorcycle can outrun a helicopter?
Anyone else fed up with ITV4 TT comentators explaining that the helicopters cannot keep up with the bikes?

My god yes. I've only watched it twice and I was fed up with them saying it.
There was also something else they kept saying but I can't remember what it was now! |

Was it explaining Shellgrip? That also gets me!.
Youd think they might do some preparation and think of somethin else to say. Motorcycle 205mph, Sikorski X2 299mph. Thyve got the wrong 'copters.

Probably when Steve Plater was commentating and everything he said was "For sure" I know he was doing my head in..

Most choppers max out at about 180mph depending on weather. Those tt bikes are hitting 200mph

Is that air speed or land speed?

Airspeed. Unfortunately the FAI's record site for rotorcraft is offline so there's no further details.
