Talk about natural selection...

Well, it loked fast, but that's about it. Did no-one else notice that the Suzuki speedo was in kph, and only once did it reach just over 160. Don't know if it's possible to doctor those videos but it sure looked like they did. Apart from that their riding was crap, relying mostly on good luck rather than skill. I've seen better on SH16.

Thats not backing it in, thats just not knowing how to change down gears properly.

I doubt they will live to film many more vids, glad they aren't in NZ. Thats some seriously dodgy riding. All balls and 0 skill.

It went over 200 a number of times.

right at the beginning you see 205 on the clock, but agree the speed and skill levels were sad, Ive seen better riding and higher corniering speeds from some of our learners, let alone our more skilled riders, on the road to any NZ Ralley!
A poor showing in my opinion, just a pair of big egos, looking like fools

**McDuck** · 13th February 2008, 17:30

Given there is a strong chance there was next to no high speeds after i gave up watching...

**McDuck** · 13th February 2008, 17:49

Could be worse tho, they could be doing it in NZ....

Oh hang on, people do called the coro loop.

missed the first bit, however, still not impressed, the cornering speeds were well down considering the amount of road they were using and what looked like a top class road surface.

**McDuck** · 13th February 2008, 18:20

Yea. They did not seem to be leaning over that farr and knee scraping was baddly done.

Lol @ guys commenting about their "shit" riding skills (not their judgement, brains and common sense).

That was 5 minutes of "Highside at any second" material. The potential to kill other motorcyclists/drivers is so great that I don't see how any sane motorcyclist could actually enjoy this?

My exact message, I too cannot understand what was in their minds to do something like this. Not rational, logical, sensible or thoughtful at all.

Must be some chemical that gets released to the brain which makes us all do stupid things, not this drastic though. Theirs must be in abundance.

Not that impressive....not fast, no decent wheelies....nothing.
I'd say that they could see around the corners they were cutting, the tankcam is a fair bit lower than ya head.
As for nearly hitting the truck, c'mon, the bike was on his own side of the road even.....not even close.
