I wanna be clocked...

Nah Marty he's likely to video his license plate and post the film on the good old intardnet. No need to worry about funerals, but your ex-colleagues will get a bit of a laugh. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. I pointed out and backed up the science that he'd need 230 rear wheel horsepower to get a VTR to 280 km/hr 2 up and he hasn't actually responded yet.

I dont have a death wish, but if i spent my life thinking the worse or thinking "but...." then i will never do anything or spend so much time woundering "but what if.........." then i may never actually get to experience what ever IT is. I dont do IT then someone else will.

get galsses dude, if you could read then you would realise that i was not the one touting the 280kph thing. it was some-else that did that. I told you that actuall ground speed was something quite different from the speedo reading. Get it right.

**Astrocat** · 20th October 2006, 21:46

AND i know personally that you dont need as much HP as your science showed you to get passed 300kph. I got a mate with a blackbird that made 300kph a reality.

**Astrocat** · 20th October 2006, 21:50

Im getting 110bph according to the spec, but im sure im getting a tad more, not much more but a tad more as im sure this thing was played with before i got it. The blackbird is putting out min 164bph

I just checked my revs to speed at 100km/h then an easy calculation showed that the 12,000rpm redline would see me doing 220km/h. Yet to actually confirm that but that's the theoretical top speed of my bike, anyway.

Good thing about bigh bike is that wh you get to the redline, given that the room is avalible to do it, the top end is much highter. Bring on my aprilla. (my next bike that im getting for my birthday) Nice.

**marty** · 20th October 2006, 22:03

that won't do 300 either

Heh heh! Yeah, that's why I'm not getting a big bike! 80hp and 220k is plenty for this old fella!

255 on a very good day

oooh that was a silly thing to say... go on astro, show him the link to the specs page...

Typical responce Marty. Im getting used to your "im the ONLY man that can" talk.

Dont ever forget that at the end of the day, your just another dude on a bike. Remember that it was the BIKE that makes YOU look cool, not the other way around.
