How fast do you think he is going?

Well its KMH. Awesome yet crazy rush.

In The Pink 05-12-2009 06:53 PM

186 mph:bong:

glassdave 05-12-2009 06:57 PM

some of these clips are kinda deceptive. with the KPH to MPH conversion that would be roughly 180 mph . . . . . dont look no 180 to me:bsflag:. Gear a bike way down on the sprockets and leave the speedo gear alone then get out the camera fellas. I'm sure he's still bookin though but doubt 180. Still a frikn moron at any rate and wont be long till he seals the deal on the final credit in that vid.

ya,cool but theres no way that the traffic (bus's,trailors) were doing 110 KPH. Def geared down...... crazy though:lolhit:

In The Pink 05-12-2009 08:08 PM

110 kph is like less than 70 mph.:gfight:

I thought the Saab 9-3 convertible towing the 20' camper was the craziest part!

Faster than a speeding SnapOn truck

F*cking retard. Sh!t like that kills people on bikes & the people they hit.
I lost a friend who was doing that very same thing. Riding a wheelie is just not cool enough to die for. Killed a guy in the car that pulled out in front of him too.

Well bikes was my number one hobby until boats took that over. I currently own 2 turbo bikes, and I know what its like to drive like an idiot, I have done it, and not to afraid to admit it. I did alot of street racing with both cars and bikes. Also did alot of Grudge racing across the country at alot of big tracks, running with some buddies of mine that NHRA,MIROCK and Pro-Star riders.

Every friday and saturday night we would be out riding, and I would always be racing the guys I ride with down the freeway. (mind you, this is at like 3 or 4am, so far less traffic than the idiot in the video in the middle of the day.) and my bike will top out about 207MPH with 28psi of boost.

If I ever feel the rush to do it again, I will take my helmet cam and video 200+ for you guys so you can see what its like passing a car doing 70.

Glassdave nailed it right on the head, most guys gear the bikes for more acceleration, but never correct the speedo, I have a 100% correct speedo for the gearing (was set by radar gun), and I run a Garmin GPS IV that you can clearly see the speed.

All in all, that guy is maybe at best doing 110mph, more like 95/100 would be my guess.

I saw 299kph, how fast is that in mph?

His speedo showed 115-120kph next to the tour bus. All buses (called coaches) in Europe are electronically limited to 112kph and that is the speed they run all the time (about 70)

based on that, I think his speedo is pretty close.

BTW all commercial buses(2 decks) in Europe are limited to 62.14mph

All newer commercial vehicles are limited to 56mph

185MPH

When that guy goes onto the right shoulder and passes all the people, shortly after he passes a car with his speedo saying 277kph. There is no way he passed that car doing 172mph, and that car doing 70mph. 100mph faster than the car, would pass it way faster than he does in the video.

Something is not right.

At 180mph, you pass a car doing 70mph, its gone before you can blink. Same as passing a stationary object at 110mph. There is no way he is passing those cars at that speed.

I feel sorry for the poor old undertaker that is going to spend three days putting the guy back together...

Rambunctious 05-13-2009 09:25 PM

I was doing 100+ in a mercedes C class in Switzerland going down a sweeping mountain grade and two bikes passed me like I was standing still, dissappeared around the next sweep in a matter of seconds, scared the crap out of me when they came up from behind.

I was expecting to see a yard sale , but never did.

XPRESS 33PP 05-14-2009 06:24 AM

I'm sure he thinks he is really cool, :angry-smiley-038:What an A$$HOLE, if you want to be a f%#king daredevil do it were your not risking someone elses life!!! Just imagine your wife and kids in one of those cars hes passing.

Audiofn 05-14-2009 06:58 AM

I don't know who will remember Nick Slick from way back but he had a bike that would do 213 in GPS! He did it out when no one else was on the road however. The video is on line some place and that was maybe 6 or 7 years ago.
