Just FYI, that was kilometers an hour, not miles per hour, still, a stupid squid.

I have a zx1200, and it takes alot longer to get to 190 than that. And a wheelie at 120? I don't think so. Listen the the gear shifts, he probably is on a gsxr600, judging from the gauge layout.

This was an 8.84 @ 163 pass in time trials

There is a guy(?) around my place that on several occasions has met me on the way home. Twisty two lane road. If that guy ain't doing at least 120, I'll give you my truck.

No way to get a tag#, but it's a screamin yellow beast.

Talked to the local folks, and no one knows him. Sure as the world turns, he's going to end up on someones bumper pretty soon.

Idiots.

My Harley riding fireman buddy had to respond to a motorcyle/pickup accident Monday. MC rider was DOA draped over the bed rail of the pickup with arms and head hanging out and legs and fanny in the bed. Sad those guys have more testosterone than brains.

I had to watch it a couple of times before I realized the analog gauge is the tach and the speedo is a digital gauge reflecting sunshine. Looks like he hits at least 180km/h. I'll have to watch it again... 12k rpm! That's screaming!
I have some long superbike video clips but no website to post them on. They include some wild rides and crashes. One I believe is a fatality but I've never been able to find any info on it. We are in one of them heading south on I-75 when they rode by at about 75-80mph doing wheelies with the film crew in their F-350 filming away. An old guy in his minivan freaked out and locked up his brakes. Almost caused a pile up.
