    200kph test ride! Bravo!

    The speedo might have said that but I doubt he was actually going that quick. Still, excellent effort.

    Hornet 919 represent - I had one - but mine was black.

    Just watched that myself, and to be honest the most stupid thing about the whole video was posting it on youtube.

    The small clip in the article is an outcome of yellow lines the entire length of Dyers Pass Rd, it's very common to encounter someone pootling down the hill like that but unfortunately it's now illegal to overtake them, even on the stretches of road with enough visibility that it's perfectly safe. The rest of the riding looked quite competent, and as far as the speed is concerned, giving it a bit of a squirt on an otherwise empty straight road is something most people have probably done at some point....

    The unnamed Governors Bay resident is right to be appalled at the driving in Governors Bay, particularly that exhibited by Governors Bay residents.

    Mine too, and it had a Power Commander with custom map. That bike had more snap than any I've owned since: VFR, 996 Monster, or the S3.

    Damn, I was hoping I'd be able to have a squizz before Mr Policeman asked him to take it down.

    What next in the series of this high thinker? "Here I rob a liquor store, but first here's where I work and a close up of my passport".
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    The black ones are faster

    200 is easy on one, can't see where you would do 200 around Governors Bay. Must have been the Teddington straight. Bloody reporters.
