Police get riders at over 200 km/h

[Dave Lobster]

Ahhh the old "if you are a good rider you are OK to travel at 200km/h" debate...

I have heard more than one article this year where grieving friends have said:

"I just can't understand it, HE WAS SUCH A GOOD RIDER"

Fact: Human reaction dictates there will still be a minimum distance travelled. The faster you go, the longer it is...It is not influenced by:

- Whether you are a "good" rider
- Whether you "know" the road
- What bike you are riding
- How many times you have ridden on that road

I bet you're a laugh a fucking minute on the piss, aren't you?

whats 211ks in real money

Third gear.

whats 211ks in mph

I'm going to go with.. Ummm... 131 mph.

131mph

211kph is 132mph.

[Swampdonkey]

You should be ashamed....i bet you cant even wave going that quick....

[Sonicjoe]

I've had my moments....

I knew that was coming.

Sorry, but you are never going to convince me that doing 211km/h on a public highway is "safe".

Basic science says that reaction distance is severely increased at these speeds.

Lets put a scenario. Person in Mini pulls out of a side road in a 100km/h area after looking right to see whether the way is clear. Dickhead motorcyclist comes round the corner at 200km/h and hits the Mini and kills both himself and the driver of the Mini. At 100km/h he would have easily been available to slow down and/or avoid the incident.

Now a test - if your family member was driving the mini... what would your thoughts be?

Sorry, but 211km/h is for the racetrack...

And before the other naysayers chip in... yes I am assuming that they are guilty....

I beg to differ.

If you cannot pull up your bike from 211Kph to a pootle, within 100M, then I suggest you get some track-time under your belt.

Hells teeth, even Sinful can do that on his horrid little Tripple, and with him in charge of it!

[YellowDog]

I guess we could start taking bets on the right answer.

mph/kph = 5/8

100mph = 160kph

That 1.5 kph could make all of the difference

[Gubb]

I can stop from 60Km/h in less than 2 meters.

Between Parnassus and Hundalee is as precise as the Harold report gets.

Grew up just North of Parnassus (hawkswood cutting) and yep theres many a spot to do that speed and more though theres more fun to be had Nth a bit and at less top speed,cant really see what all the fuss is about,they did it they got caught big deal.200 clicks isnt top speed on many bikes available these days and i have no doubts many including myself see such speed on a fairly regular basis on the right roads albeit briefly.

[Cr1MiNaL]

I think DougieNZ is full of horse shit.
- Speed kills?
- sharp bends on public highways?
- 'ass'-u-mes a lot
- mini's suck donkey balls anyway.


Who votes DougieNZ site retard? I'll put one vote down.

i would agree with that....

[chrispy121]

to all of the idiots condoning this thread and saying it is ok to ride at this speed on public roads thank for giving the powers that be proof that they need to take a good look at people on bikes.

you are probably the same people that put up threads saying you are going to race everyone at trackdays putting our insurances at risk as well.

you guys are legends in your own underpants. why dont you keep your opinions on being ok to speed on public roads in there.

good work dickheads
