122mph biker says "get rid of your bike and take the risk away"

[McJim]

Skidmark....."I once gave a thou a handful (on a closed private road of course) and thought i was doing about 130kph.... looked down and saw 260..."

ROFL!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahah! wot a firkin dreamer
You KNOW when you are doin 260 sonny, stop dreamin and start livin'

I find that there's a definite point at 240 where you helmet decides it doesn't want to be on your head any more.

Hyabusa dude should just buy a less powerful bike if he doesn't have any self control. My self control isn't great so I stick to 53hp. Works for me.

Frikkin' sprotsbike riders, don't even know what sort of bike they're speeding on...

Whta's a 'sprotsbike'? Scumdog? Is it some sort of minibike?

I can not believe that some people actually think he deserved a longer jail term?!

If I got caught doing 200+ I would expect a huge fine, possible ban but not JAIL...

Don't come here. You'll get Jailed for doing 190 on a 120 limited road, or 90 on a 50km urban area, if you're putting someone else in danger, as the judge said he was doing to his own son.

200 on a 60 area would be jail even if you're alone there.

We let murderers out on bail, and what happens ,? they go do an aggrivated robbery, steal a car and then beat up on a poor asian, then what, ? well the judge lets em stay at home for a bit.
Then we see this, a simple speeding infringement, he's jailed and the whole world erupts in righteous indignation, CRAP! thats what this is.
Take his licence for good, make sure the local bobbies know who he is and that he never rides again, fine to the max, make sure it's paid or else jail, then forget him.
Move on to the real Killers amongst us, deal to them properly too.
No guts nor balls the authorities, pandering is all they're doing.
Like to see that cop pull over a speeding patched up bike riding gang member, bet he never has!

[FROSTY:Me]

Let he who has NEVER sinned cast the first stone.

There is no defece against riding at 195kph in poor conditions with your kid on the back.

I would however agree with some of the posters here in that it really is so easy to pick up speed. I sometimes hit 150Kph on the way to work. I slow down to 120ish as soon as I realise however it is very easily done.

At around sppeds >200Kph, the main sensation you feel is how the cars you are overtaking almost seem to be moving backwads. It almost feels like a chemical rush and I suspect he was just showing off to his kid and knew exactly what he was doing.

[Insanity_rules]

What a friggin gutless statement the dude made. Oh lets just blame everyone but myself! He was in control, he should keep an eye on what he's doing. I'm the first to admit speed acclimatization is totally possible but for F sake dude you have a speedo. Millions on motorists a day have to exercise self control who doesn't he?
