    Its official, GHOSTRIDER is SLOW!!!

    Yep its true... just watched GR4, thought it was pretty average... Pulling a rolling burnout infront of the palace on a cop lookalike bike was funny... The highspeed run on the turbo busa was cool (217mph)... But nearly everything was set up...

    Whilst i can't pull wheelies, GR's are very average... (This is judged on seeing wheelies of some guys on here etc)...

    And as for being fast... Overall yes, due to going high speed and passing stupidly and going on the wrong side of the road on blind corners.... BUT THE EVIDENCE!!! IT IS IN GR4!!! There is two seperate shots of GR's tyres (Dunlop 208's) AND WHO SAW THE CHICKEN STRIPS!!!! 10mm on the back and 15mm odd on the front!!! My pillion strips are smaller... The evidence can be seen before he breaks the 4 minute 30 second time on some twisties (hardly twisty) and just before he rides along the footpath and goes into the police station for the undercover mission...

    If he turned up at Coro loop pr the taka's i would say he would get the learn...

    Lol, brilliant. I have GR4 being "backed up" at the moment. I'll look out for it.

    I've been wondering if they've been geared down to read higher.

    You especially notice the cuts away from the speedo at the point where he looses stability. That *should* be about 30-40 km/h but the way the speedo is dropping I wonder if it is reading 50-60.

    Still, he's got more balls than me.

    I have noticed that too, it also seems like he rides the bike differently each time, doesn't always rev on downshift when he used to always do that. Mabey it's also the fact his bike is 50k worth of bits and pieces and he gets jail if he crashes... I don't know.

    He hasn't ever really leaned the bike over for shit though in any of them.

    I know of one who is much better than him - The Black Prince.. he does the paris ring road in 15min or so. But that was in the 80's with the white shoei helmet etc. Awesome skill... gets fully sideways braking in the wet etc

    I'm pretty sure he's dead now. Heard that news a while ago on some other forum..

    P.S. Wait till me and Brucey go through our master plan. Fuck, it's gonna blow GR away! ha ha ha I just hope we won't have to do time...

    Oh sad... he was very skillful, I had alot of respect for his abilities eh.

    Seriously might want to edit out that last bit for obvious reasons, similar ideas floating around here too....

    So it's all in the chicken strip eh?....I must remember that if I want to impress someone.


    Trouble is I have no one I need to impress...maybe I should just get a life.

    Yeah, but they do sell their DVD's and have money to own trick bikes and pay for all their stunts, while you guys scrounge around for a few dollars to make ends meet and hope to become like them - "blow them away".



    Yeah, I know the above comments ain't gonna make me any new friends, but who cares about being PC
