    There must have been a trail of dead bodies going that fast.

    300 is sensationalist journalism, probably egged on by the cops, and how the hell did the Motorcycle Safety Council get involved, and Graeme Crosby??? Crosby could ride without a doubt but I lost any respect for him a long time ago as far as motorcycling goes.

    Its a false flag by "THEM" designed to sway public opinion away from motorcycles. Obviously.

    Having sat through many local speed trials etc I find the speeds quoted a tad unlikely...

    Yeah 300 takes serious commitment on a bike and a seriously clear road. They all limited to 299 anyways I thought? Not out of the question though I know a few motorways where it wouldn't be hard on a R1 with it's limiter removed and a sprocket change.

    Cops too scared to chase regardless of it they could keep up anyways these days what with every idiot finding the first tree they find soon as the red n blues come on.

    Did it even happen or should said cop have gone to Specsavers?

    Was good of BRONZ to state the obvious.

    Happened to me. I was doing 99kph and cops reckoned I was doing 112kph.

    I thought to myself: "How do they know that?"

    Police have appealed for information to find the motorcyclists.

    They were probably North of Dorkland yesterday ..

    It was on the radio news today. Perhaps nobody told them that radio news is supposed to be topical.

    The cop(s) who estimated "more than300kph" should wait until their shift is finished before they light up the electric puha.

    I'll be impressed if they hit 17500m/sec (escape velocity for those who dont know)
