Its official, GHOSTRIDER is SLOW!!!

[Two Smoker]

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...

[Sniper]

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

[vtec]

I like (and share) your confidence two smoker.

[thehollowmen]

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.

[N4CR]

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...

[Teflon]

He looked prety quick in GR3 on the track (if that was him).

[N4CR]

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



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.... :laugh:

[Motu]

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.

HES NOT DEAD , HES JUST BEEN BUSY PAINTING MY CHICKEN COOP

[justsomeguy]

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 :bleh:

THE CHICKEN STRIPS DONT TELL EVERYTHING , I HAD A MATE WHO WAS SUPER FAST AND I THINK CAUSE OF HIS HUGE WEIGHT WHEN HE LEANED OFF THE BIKE HE DIDNT HAVE TO GET IT SO CRANKED OVER TO GET THE CORNER SPEED

Those shiny strips you find on the edges of my tyres, you probably don't have any since you're not a chicken like me.:msn-wink:

Dover?? Since when did that fatty learn to ride fast?

You and the enfarter need to come teach me some skills, when you going for a ride next? Preferably only the three of us and not the rest of my fans.

Or maybe just some car park drills.

ITS A PT , DOVER IS PAINFULLY SLOW

[N4CR]

And another thing, I used to go by chicken strips for judging people untill I saw people going fast with rediculous profiles... they don't get off the edge because the tyre often can't. With my old tyres I was slow but had no chicken strips front/rear because they were plastic tyres with no profile at all. Yay.

Cool, we shall see then - depending on the weather and all that -

Hill starts - I don't want to learn to do burn outs if that's what you mean - I spend enough on tyres with my little income.

JSG can teach you how to check your oil level while on the bike.

[kro]

Ghost rider was never about the hard cornering really, he has always been the cop baiter/high speed runner guy. I have seen the state of his tyres, and they reflect the style of riding he does, lots of monos, and traffic weaving. The only times he really puts it over, is on a motorway on/off ramp, or chasing another biker, even then, its not anything huge.

Good old Ghosty, he is a freaking nutter alright.

[Dafe]

Talking of setups...... Of all the "Motorway riding" I've watched Ghostrider do, There has never ever been a car changing lane! All Vehicles stay in their lanes, all the time. :sleep:

Same with my RG150... about 2mm on the rear, and 15mm on the front... and thats with half the peg missing...

[sAsLEX]

should of filmed that day we split up the MW by ramarama sure that would of looked just as good as some of GR4.....

[Two Smoker]

ssssssshhhhhh hehehe... that was in my bad days... Have you been lanesplitting with the litre club???

[sAsLEX]

Have you been lanesplitting with the litre club???

Nope, generally can only keep in touch in the tight stuff (kopu/coromandel tight) so they are well gone by the time the MW comes about

[kiwifruit]

he seems pretty farkin fast in the 3rd(?) one around the nurburgring,
a few shots i've seen of the back tyre, in the 2nd one i think,
twas shreaded past the edge.
Pretty soft tyre too by the looks,
leaves big black rubber lines out of the corners.

the motorway traffic there does seem to stay calm,
no fighting for position like here.

IMHO GR is several different people, with different styles.
the first 2 releases were far more balls out than the rest.
I certainly wouldn't call "him" slow.
but then im not fast so, yeh. :pinch:

[R6_kid]

Same with my RG150... about 2mm on the rear, and 15mm on the front... and thats with half the peg missing...

haha, after seeing you knee down on beach road back on my first ride, i think i remember you passing spanky on his SV, on the inside going uphill... i think GR needs to grow some big danglies!

[Pixie]

They are fried strips,cut from the sac chicken nuggets are contained in,on a chicken's body.

[Pixie]

Talking of setups...... Of all the "Motorway riding" I've watched Ghostrider do, There has never ever been a car changing lane! All Vehicles stay in their lanes, all the time. :sleep:
Well he probably never had the misfortune of encountering a typical,arsehole kiwi driver on the swedish motorways

[gamgee]

haha stupid cagers, i just had some chick in a civic start kicking off, tooting her horn and giving me the evils when i filtered past her, i just started laughing and kept going, left her stuck in the line of traffic to get angry :finger:

[Finn]

Talking of setups...... Of all the "Motorway riding" I've watched Ghostrider do, There has never ever been a car changing lane! All Vehicles stay in their lanes, all the time. :sleep:

It's not a setup. It's actually intelligent Swedish people driving with their eyes open. I used to live in Sweden and they are very curtious drivers. If you come up behind someone they usually move over to let you past. If they don't you just flash your high beam and they move over. Completely unlike the inbreed morons in NZ who think falshing your high beams mean you want to fight. Stupid bloody Kiwi's.

Fact: There is no GR. There are many of them, around 6 at a guess. They are all based around Stockholm and could ride the ass off any of you guys with the exception of Loosebruce, WINJA and of course myself.

As for the chicken strips, perhaps he just put on new tyres...

[sAsLEX]

and of course myself.


now we know you are lying!

[Motu]

around 6 at a guess. ...

No way,the antics are pretty childish I admit - but I reckon he's in his early teens,like 13 maybe,and his Dad is pretty rich to supply him with such bikes....you got any kids?

[Two Smoker]

I thought of that as well.... but then i watched him go through the corners... nup he's just slow... and showing the tyres a second time, just proved it...

I wish i could ride fast....

[Finn]

No kids that I know of. Girls don't hang around me long enough to breed.

These enterprising chaps get their money to buy these bikes from sales of their DVD's.

[Finn]

Then perhaps you should produce a DVD called Ghostsmoker and sell over a million copies.

WITH ALL RESPECT TO GHOSTRIDER I NOTICED THAT TOO AND I THOUGHT HE WAS MORE BRAVE/STUPID THAN SKILLED, ANY FOOL CAN PLAY CHICANES WITH CARS , PERSONALLY I LIKE TO SPEED WHERE THERE ARE NO PEOPLE AROUND, AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE IN RUNNERS AND SPEEDING I BELIEVE IN RIGHT TIME RIGHT PLACE AS WELL

[The_Dover]

What WINJA is trying to say people, is that his fat arse would never squeeze between the cars like Goatrider does!

[GSX-RJIM]

I'm not a fast rider and I have very small chicken strips(cs), and old mate of mine had big a CS and would always out ride me-although he is dead now.:confused:

[WINJA]

I only have them in my video collection coz my dog likes watching it.

He looked fucking fast in the third vid.. pulled some nice wheelstands in number two. I personally woulded call him slow.

[madboy]

Fast, slow - it's all perception. I can't see how you can accurately judge from video footage whether he's quick or not. Things look different on video. Size of strips can depend on riding style and also terrain that is being covered. I can do a fine ghostrider impersonation, cutting up cars, smoking bandits and doing shit that plenty of people here have called me nuts (or worse names) for, and still have a 20mm chicken strip! Or I can nana it up the takas and have none. The ghostrider vids I've seen have never been about lean angle, they've been about risk taking.

[Rhino]

I'm pretty sure he's dead now. Heard that news a while ago on some other forum..
I have the video of his last blast around the Ringroad. The story I heard is that he was killed the follwoing week trying to better his time :(

[Bren_chch]

u guys are dreaming bitches! GR would own your arses all over the road, you'd still be wondering what gear to take the corner in while in the mean time he's off in the distance pulling a 300k wheelie... crack me up!!! as for the 'setup'.... hahaha what planet are you on, sure they know what route they are gana take but how can you setup traffic in a city, man... u must have been watching thomas the tank engine! :laugh: bitches

[Toast]

ssssssshhhhhh hehehe... that was in my bad days... Have you been lanesplitting with the litre club???

Is that those dudes John, Vladi, etc?

[hurricane_r]

hes fast as hell, and obviosly skilled to remain focused whilst adrenline in most people would cloud there judgement, plus, he can handle the big bike throwing it in hard, but almost seems like theres absolutbly no wind resistance, like hes in a constant slip stream, wind is hard-core 180+ (im guessing)

[larriken]

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...

Haha good read! Don't think he's trying to impress you with his wicked corner angle though! :laugh:

[Two Smoker]

yep thats them...

[Two Smoker]

Haha good read! Don't think he's trying to impress you with his wicked corner angle though! :laugh:

yeah i know that... but other than the points i liked (and stated) none of it really impressed me...

Who cares if you cut up cars on the motorway etc... Whilst there is a certain degree of skill required to accomplish it, its not as much as others think (bike wise)... His traffic reading skills are quite impressive, and his balls are big, due to the huge risks he takes and puts others in...

[Toast]

yep thats them...

They do split like mad men. A mate took me along to meet them in the city and head to Puke a couple of years back...had my CBR250R tapped out the whole way between Parnell and the Drury turn-off, and when I got there they looked like they'd been having a nap.

[OMG]

GR at nurbring (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8752265579737000204&q=ghostrider&pl=true) Sure he's fast (well compared to me!), but the guy in front of him seems to stay there quite comfortably (until someone takes his line at the end). Also, think the 8:20 is a bit optimistic, more like 9min me thinks. And if he was REALLY fast, wouldn't he be racing for someone somewhere? <_<

[UrbanMyth]

well today my signed copy of ghostrider 4 just arrived from the SWT racing team.Wish only ghostrider signed it so i could know his name the whole GR racing team signed it with there names think GRs is the underlined one and i cant make out the last name yet.

By the way i won it ages ago through a competition on there site.Arrived 10 years late cause they are world known slackers :D

GhostRider 4 is filled with silly Swedish Humour lol.And yes the cameras were put there and it was planned as Ghostrider said he couldnt put others at risk thats why he chased others from the swt race team.

Also anyone who has a copy be sure to wait for the GhostRider site to be back up and see the special footage.I saw the few clips that where put up a while before they took the site down.For examlpe for busa fun and a zxr600 GR Police chase.

Some people didnt like it and some did.Still gr 2 was the best :D
