That's 265.6 Kph and he wasn't even on a motorway.

I don't know the road, but this may have been a little excessive and potentially unsafe :o

I guess they would have said if he was only wearing shorts and T-Shirt with his 7 year old kid on the back.

It would have been nice to know what the bike was and also get a U-Tube clip of the incident.

No centre barrier.

No sider barriers.

Side roads that cars could pull out of.

Too dangerous

Funny that, most people have been bitching and moaning about the media always 'labelling' the make/model, calling the rider a 'driver' and then giving them the name 'biker'.

this was quite funny to read the post because its title speeding, and the name under neath is whynot haha
a bit like yesterday "is it ok to be gay" was right above "being Shafted" lol
but back to the topic thats fast if he actually did do it and it wasn't some cop trying to get is quota :Police:

They don't have quota's in the UK, they mostly just rely on all the thousands of speed cameras ...

Just looked at that road on Google Earth, WOW, no wonder peeps come from all over to try it out. straight, good surface and no-one around.

If we had roads like that here, the cops would be drawing straws to patrol it:Police:
