I would love to be able to go fast (especially around bends) but at those speeds keep it to the track IMO.

That's two of us being sheepish then.

Although, that video is pretty tame for a "Ghost rider" - did you see how he lifts off AFTER the green van nearly takes him out? Then to show his manhood drops it a peg & pulls a wheelie.

A true "Ghost rider" wouldn't of even blinked, let alone lifted off the gas.

Not that I'm advocating this type of stuff on public roads that is.

I certainly wouldn't advocate that kind of riding but I have to admire the forward planning.

42.8 Miles or 68kM , says at the start of the Video , and these are continuous vids , I used to have them on DVD and shows the run in all one piece and the time taken to do them . He also doesn`t run standard bikes and there are some heavy modifications made engine wise . Various portions of that video used to show the Speedo reading 299 kM/h on a couple of occasions , you can`t quite make it out with YouTube`s quality though .

The video ends there on YouTube , If I remember rightly it was nearer 15 minutes to do the Uppsala run on the DVD .
