And so am I.

I haven't specifically directed my comments to the riders in question, rather more so, to the posters that blindly claim that doing 200kph+ is perfectly safe.

Not true. I know a rider who got caught doing 170km. Lost his licence for 6 months for speeding. Didnt get the dangerous driving. It depends on the circumstances. But then also know a cager who got done at 165km and did get the dangerous driving on top of speeding.

who said it is perfectly safe??? i dont think any one has said that...

who ever does that knows the risks involved same as walking out the gate or driving a cage or choosing to cross infront of a train....

nothing is perfectly safe.... I've even heard of people having a crap and dying of a heart attack so even doing something important in life is not perfectly safe...

The Katana was and still is a fast bike,after everything from a Vincent to a few 900SS bevel drives the old man bought a new one,i was a young fella and can still remember him saying "only bike ive ever ridden 2 up with gear that you can crank it at 120mph and it just fucks off".

being safe is highly overrated....
getting into a safe on the other hand....

Wrong forum..?

**breakaway** · 16th April 2009, 19:33

You're all wrong. I just got back from a ride, and touched 250 several times. Felt great.

Some prick in a mini pulled out on me as well... luckily I was able to swirve around him.

320 Indicated.

So when a situation occurs that makes the 6 oclock news is condoned and classed as bloody fantastic riding by fellow motorcyclists then something makes me wonder.

How many posts have been put in this thread saying possitive comments as to how great the speed is and yer , go for it and rubbishing those that post a dissagreement of the situation really believe the sponsors names proudly displayed as a signiture on every post really make a sponsor look good ??? .

Ummmm let me guess ????

And no , i dont think the speed those guys / girls did is acceptable on a public road no matter how good the road is or how good the riders think they are. Thats for the track not the road.

Paul.

Sorry, but that is FAR too fast to be going on a public road. Go to a racetrack if you want to do speeds like that. We should NOT be condoning this sort of thing IMHO.

Oh go and start a fucking group.
