189 at about 5:50. Is that kilometers or mph? That must be kilometers, right?

 

[Allsmiles]

No, probably mph. Big sportys have limiters on them for a reason. Won't be around long riding lime that.

Somebody that redlines a motor that long has got to be stupid. Not to even mention the idiocy of going that fast on an interstate with that many people on it.
He will probably sell the bike as being “adult ridden, never abused” too.

nah, it will be in too many pieces to sell . not a lick of sense .

 

[adrianrog]

has to be kmph judging by the speed of the other cars when it says he's doing 100.

What’s the blinking orange light? Seatbelt?

I guess this is a bit of a vent. It’s Monday, and you know, shtuff happens, but ... you decide

I was passed on 285 by a pair of bikes ... HAD to be going at least 120 - 130! I mean they passed me at 30 to 40* mph, if not faster .... I get it about going that fast — on a closed track, stupidly, maybe. But on the ‘Meat Grinder’*??

Yipes! If you’re doing that, and I mean just in a practical way, you want to make sure your stars and not just your hormones are aligned properly. You want proven, outstanding tires. A bike with a rigid frame. Top shocks and brakes. Padded body suit and brain bucket. Best of class insurance, burial benefits and so on!

*I knew some EMT’s way awhile ago who said after using a snow shovel to clear a couple of scenes the road had earned that name. And that was in the 70’s. It’s moreso now than ever

I've seen video of a "Mazda tuners club" doing 180+ on 285 overnight. I had some neighbors a couple years a ago who were in the club. I don't think I'd want to be anywhere near them during a race.

One thing for sure, they are not worried about other people and innocent lives. I could care less if they kill themselves. just don't injure or kill some innocent person.

The worst fools that I’ve seen have been on I-20. DJD.

No doubt this guy is going stupid fast, but that speedometer is reading KPH not MHP.

Yep

Probably has the bike geared. Lots of people gearing the bike low and making vids, looks like they are doing 120, but in reality only about 80. Impresses the hell out of the squids...
