Bike video

90mph feels fast enough to me

Matt

The speedo looks like its in kph!

I'm pretty sure he's changed his speedo to km/h for extra bragging rights. It just didn't look like 176mph. Besides, crossing solid lines, some rather dodgy overtakes all while the roads where damp and the light was fading adds up to my conclusion that these two are utter eejits. There is a time and a place for that sort of riding and that wasn't it.

I'm all for having a laugh on the bike but that was sheer stupidity. Big cojones on the bloke though for that last left kink at the sort of speeds on a damp road.

This was on the news, apparently ITV tipped the police off. It doesn't look that bad to me. So is there now going to be an entire police division looking for speeders on youtube? So much for the internet being the last place of true freedom.

I have a copy of 5 guys on the A77 doing up to 175mph .
The video lasts for about 25 mins and features some of the most reckless and stupid riding I have ever seen .. think filtering at 145mph........
no wonder we get a bad name...

That was fairly terrifying viewing. Perhaps he's never fallen off before! Probably only a matter of time

At the end of the day if it was those kind of speeds then the bloke is a fool. He does nothing to help the image of bikers and as a minority unfortunately things like that must be considered. Poeple like this will only lead to bikers being persecuted even more. If he can aford a bike to do that kind of speed then why can he not afford to go on a track day? Winker, well and truly!

Deffo in metric I mean did you see that gentle left sweeper with an indicated 93 he wasn't even leaning and looked about 57 mph anyway

But on the other hand, are all of those vehicles really just doing <30km/h (about 18/19mph) up that not particularly steep looking hill? I agree the bits with an indicated high speed don't look as fast, but I'd be amazed if the most he hits there is about 110mph. Whatever the bike, sounds like a fast 4 pot though, from a rolling start at a fair speed, down a hill, and wide open for that long, he'd be travelling faster than that. (Surely?).

My guess is the sprocket thing blue mentions, but how far out it is I don't know.
