Funniest quote so far in 2009.

"I can stop a bike in 2 meters from 60km" - our very own skidmark.

Quite possible...
If a brick wall is involved in the process.

There must be something wrong with your measuring, or the speedo is way off. That would pull roughly 6G forces, and motogp 125 riders would be lucky to pull 2.5 under heavy braking, and I think somewhere after that jet fighter pilots start blacking out...
Think you can do that on a 20 year old road bike with road tires on and about 70 more kilo's onboard the bike?

210 KG all up bike with rider.... stopping in 2 metres....

I dont see the problem....

Cars can stop that fast with decent brakes and a big footprint, and its alot more mass to stop.

Hi Skiddy - after all these years your real problem has just occurred to me. You're not actually bright enough to realise that you're an idiot are you?

Yeah and if something lets go on the bike, real intelligent buddy.

A car like the atom could just about do it... But then it has four times the contact patch and only about 100kilo's or so more... Actually I'm pretty sure a formula 1 car couldn't do it.
