There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
I'm not sure there are many coming off at more than 200kph. And when they do there are kitty litter and extra air bag fences and loooooong runoffs and they are wearing airbag leathers. I have no wish to test it but I think even in a MotoGP suit if you come off on a new zealand road at that speed then you are fucked.
Having said that, this is worth a look: 337kph. I'd forgotten it completely:

Oh, and Oliviera last year.

Dunno, maybe I am wrong.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
Yep, the better option. That's what I did in 1978 when the car I was following suddenly swerved left and stopped in a car park space. Me thinks, he's parked up. Nope. He saw his parents on the other side of the road and decided to do a quick u turn to say hello without looking behind him. I swerved to the right across the centreline (it was clear) as he pulled out from the curb hoping my squealing tyres would give him a clue that someone was using the road he was about to block. Nope, he just felt privileged and entitled to block both sides of any road, anywhere, anytime. I T-boned the centre pillar of his car on the other side of the road by that point, but I realised it was all over trying to brake or go around him, so I stood up a second before impact with a bit of a jump to get over his roof. Perfectly executed, my mint Honda 750 Four totalled his car while I passed safely overhead, feeling nothing more harmful than the gentle warm summer breeze lightly caressing my body.
Landing on the other hand hadn't been perfected and I broke my femur on impact. I still believe I would have been far worse off or dead if I had stayed on the seat.
