    Given the speed at which Santa himself must travel to make his rounds I suspect he will actually have some sympathy....

    I wonder if anyone has ever been clocked at more than 300kmh on a public road in NZ.

    189km/hr? The best they can do? Pfft. Not even trying...

    It is if the reading of 189kph is with both wheels locked up and smoking at the end of a 200m black line

    Those speeds just go to show the drivers were still exercising some restraint then! don't sound like max vehilce speeds at all.

    AA calculated that in the last 5m before stopping, a car still held 25 per cent of its speed.
    I really hope that quote is taken out of context from a specific speed given by AA. I can understand Harold not being able to Math, but would hope the AA at least put some effort into it.

    On the gixxer, we wouldn't even be close to redline in 4th... Course, I'd never do that...

    Once upon a time yours trully tried to test the theory that radars only read up to 250km/h and thought I would be safe above that on a modded ZX9. (young, dumb and full off......)

    Anyway, my theory got shot to pieces when i got pulled over and mr plod quiet happy with him self took me into his car and showed me flashing spped of 275km/h.

    Got 12mnths loss of license and $1000 worth of court costs for my trouble

    11 years later I have slowed down............. tincy wincy weeny bit
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    Very kind of you to test that theory for the rest of us. Thanks!
