Motorcyclist spotted going 261kmh in Canterbury

[roogazza]

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..

261km/h could be achieved quite easily for little money these days. My old ZZR1100 was timed at 264 before I sold it for $4,000 several years ago, a bike you could probably pick up for closer to $3,000 today. Not a bad opening bid though and I'm sure an RSV4-R could do better

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.

Given the high cost of road closures and certified timing gear and all the bumf attatched to a record attempt, this may actually be a cheaper way....

Stuff website doesn't like me, won't open. Can anyone tell me where it was please ?

Fuck but you can waffle some shit...

[scumdog]

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?

And some more shit...

Fuck but you can waffle some shit...

You do.. more than 13,000 & counting..

& nevermind you attempting to post anything remotely topical.. you just try & hang some lame, lazy, boring repetitive shit.. it's weak, mate.. piss weak..

Anyhow..

Cops have not stated whether they were able to get any images recorded, or if the all black blaster had a blacked out rego, too?

And yet more shit from Just Another Wanker, it never stops, does it..

Oh the irony..

Now S-D, so as to work out your problem.. write out 13,800 times, "I must stop being a boringly pretentious waste of e-space"..

Or, are you doing a smokescreen routine.. & was it really you, the blacked out death-speed rider?.. As if.. L.O.L..

Not to far from Arthurs pass village theres "that" straight some call Conrod straight,come over the rise and its just there,no stock to worry about just low tussock...right place for sure.Had the TL tapped out there years back with the mrs onboard with a bloody huge pack on her back she said she was trying to lean forward and see how fast we were travelling but simply couldnt move

I guess a little over the then maximum speed on the open road of 55mph...

[Moi]

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

They accelerate the same though.

You mean a little like this?

Somewhat...at the end of the straight theres a bridge and rest area type setup,on the day there was a couple from England touring about on a VFR parked up there,bloke said he heard the old TLS wind up so ripped his camera off the tank and caught it on video,nice.

Ten years later my 08 R1 may have seen 299 on the speedo and may have kept winding out till it hit the rev limiter. Mind you I'm just saying it may have. Nice straight though.
