Biker sets new speeding record

[onearmedbandit]

Ghost Rider isn't dead, even seems to confuse him with the guy who did the Paris Ring.

Yes a trooper in a helicopter did 'officially' time a 1000cc bike at 205mph. It went to court but he was not charged with that exact offense. Huge debate on American bike forums over this event. The rider worked for a bike store and other than a aftermarket pipe the bike was standard. I think it was an SP-2, may have been a CBR1000RR, regardless neither bike is capable with just a pipe. He actually logged onto a sportbike forum in America I frequent and told his side of the story.

Oh for fuck sakes!

So I can't spell! Who gives a fucken fuck?.........

We do - and that should be "fucking fuck"

considering a good number of german cars are speed lmited to 250k, and from what i've seen it is pretty common practice to sit on said limiter on the autoBAHN, how is this news?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I posted it up on here for those who are interested, and if you aren't, ignore it.

I'd be lucky to go anywhere near 250 for a while

[bugjuice]

Nah they're making a GR2005 so I don't think so?
You're not thinking of the Black Prince are ya?

well I can answer that by sayin :unsure: who..??
I was told by a few people that the 'last ride' DVD was just that.. Unless (cos you don't see his face), it's a 'new' GR tryin to fill the boots of the boss...???

[R6_kid:Me]

deal i heard was GR clipped a truck lane splitting at 270kmh... and not many come back from that. Apparently its his brother continuing the family business, hopefully he choses a slightly different business tactic to sell videos

So I can't spell! Who gives a fucken fuck? If I really cared, I'd spell check. I don't so get over it...

Spellcheck is USenglish, they'll spell it the way you did.

On that note, jap cars are limited to 180 while euro ones (ex Porche, Ferrari, ect) are limited to 250. Sad, I dont know why, maby a tyre thing?

A driver has just got off a speeding charge in Scotland, he was checked by laser at 210 k's. The catch was that he was driving an import WRX with the speed limiter still operative = max 180. A touch embarrassing for Plod.

That story is in a bike mag actually, was meant to post something about it.
The mag says that he was clocked doing 131mph but the car is still restricted to 108mph, like you mention, Lou.

It also says, that the same gun was point at a brick wall. It recorded the brick wall doing 58mph... think we should start a new thread to slag off speedguns (but not cops)

No, you can quite happily walk into a Ferrari showroom in the UK and buy something capable of 200mph.

most european cars (like beemers and mercs) are limited to 155mph.. exotics like ferraris generally aren't limited

Was that the V6 or V8 wall (I like the V6 turbo's personally - they're fuel efficient while maintaining the ability to get up and go when needed.

Nah, it was a K series BMW wall. Don't you know they're called the "Flying brick"
