Motorcyclist spotted going 261kmh in Canterbury

[HenryDorsetCase]

Thank fuck the rider hasn't been fooled by the "4kmh" propaganda bullshit.

Well done that rider!!

In your profile pic you are riding a black bike and wearing black leathers. I'm just saying

Prob down the pub tonight bragging it was him during one beer and moaning about the Acc bike safety levies during the next before mounting up shouting "FTP" half pissed and speeding home......Not like the cops to post speeds reached as to avoid copy cat one ups.

What the filth have created here is an auction, and 261 is the opening bid.

Do I have any others?

Same applies to Flip-off too, by the looks of it, but its doubtful they'd be convicted in court - for actually doing 261 - on those shitters..

200kg for a human body,

NZSpokes? .....

What if it was Ex-AB skipper Richie McCaw?
Y'know, thrill seeking to keep up the buzz..

Would they let him off with a 'private discussion' - due to public sentiment/political imperative..
Or would they openly crucify him?

The published it when they stopped Jonah in the late 90s. he was only doing 120isg.

120? Taint nuthin' - busted at 261 Km/h, & you're surely off to the poky - these days, right?

That would be a bad look, & I doubt it would be applied in practice, to Sir Richie, or any Victoria Cross holder, either..

& wasn't Jonah actually pinged for pumpin' 120+ decibels from his doof-doofin car sound system?

Cant see what all the fuss is about really...261k whilst quick is no biggie surely,right time right place blah blah blah.Why on earth is it even newsworthy all things considered,as someone else pointed out bikes have been capable of such speeds for decades did they really think nobody actually bothers to do so...

[Berries]

No it was not me. A possible clue if you wanted one if the debate is still on this site would be all those guys who disagreed with my claim that there was no such thing as fast and safe.

I must have missed the bit in the story where it said that the rider was injured.

Given all the propaganda I am surprised that he didn't black out, become a smear and orphan his children.

Well, if you read the report, he was 'blacked out' ( & was it Batman, or the ghost of the 1939 Team SS BMW 500/Senior G.P. rider - killed at the IoM..)

As for the smear/death/orphan stuff, that'll be on the official cop report - but natch, only after they had ceased hot pursuit, & he'd done it to hisself..

[Berries]

(or the ghost of the 1939 Team SS BMW 500/Senior G.P. rider - killed at the IoM..).

Yeah, that will be it.

[J.A.W.]

Yeah, that will be it.

Yeah, well, i suppose you might think Batman is a more probable suspect then..
& be honest, rather than snide for once streaky, you have no idea what a high speed black spectre bike is really up to..

Could be Ghostrider over for the summer hol's downunder.. 261 km/h 'd be an economy run for him..

Shoshoni what were you doing out West Melton way on your Busa?

All black riding gears and a black road bike...

Someone fess up!

Not everybody is on kiwibiker....

I know this bloke in Canty who got himself a R1....

just saying...

261k whilst quick is no biggie surely,right time right place blah blah blah.

If there was a cop with a radar in attendance the "rightness" of the place might be questionable.

World speed records were set on Canterbury roads, high speeds there are not new.

Then again that 261 is a pretty good opening gambit seeing as how it's on radar, not an optimistic speedo reading. Perhaps the Police should indicate when they will be there again so that anyone wishing to challenge the record may take advantage of their presence.

You seem like that sort of chap that could help me here. What falls faster out of a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

Terminal velocity of the feathers is slower because of the surface area. So the bricks reach a higher speed.

The accelerate the same though.
