At 4 in the morning if on the motorway you could go for ages. But at 6 on a Friday night, maybe 5 secs before you hit traffic.

I call BS.

You haven't seen the Ghost Rider movies, have you? Then again, those are filmed on superior Swedish roads.

Some of the corners on the motorway would be a struggle at 280kph for the average rider. Those with decent track experience would probably be able to hold flat out speed along a lot of them. I am with Trash, you wouldn't be able to go for *that* long. At that speed you cover ground pretty quickly. I imagine the best run would be from the top of the Bombay until you hit around Greenlane. There are a lot of on ramps and off ramps where the cops could pick you up, a simple rolling block and you would be done for.

pretty onto cops we have that would do a rolling block at that speed,more likely chase far behind until the rider fell off and then claim the chase was aborted half an hour ago

With a custom paint job. They don't make two tone GNs.

**cheshirecat** · 11th February 2012, 15:01

Harley's do two tone, but the tassles wouldn't stay on

Do you reckon? Doubt they'd want to publicise another speeder got away, uninjured, because speed kills!

Well supposedly they have the rego, and anytime a rider/driver is clocked at excessive speed it seems to make the media - usually used as justification for a clamp down.
