Seeeee YA!!!! Actions not condoned

This guy on a crotch rocket...probably either a Gixxer 750 or 1000...shows this radar trap what it's all about.

Also notice at the first clover-leaf...he has a buddy waiting...similar bike but different plate...and going way slow.

Speed seen here is in KPH...so it seems a bit faster than it really is...

Still...very cool.

I don't see why people think it's cool. It's stupid man. He hits some random bump or something, the dude'll go flying, crash into some other dude, and everyone'll be upset...

If it's cool to screw up someone's life besides your own, then I guess it is.

I was coming home from a party in New Jersey at 2:00 a.m. a few months ago. I was going 70 mph on the NJ Turnpike. The road was deserted. As usual, a few cars passed me going 90 or 100 mph. That's routine. But, at the straightaway at Newark Airport, I saw a flash in my rear view mirror, and a motorcycle passed me on my left going at least 170 mph!! Then two more flashed by, going equally as fast.

I have NEVER seen a motor vehicle go so fast on a public roadway. It was a very sobering experience.

about 5 years ago there was a guy in pennsylvania, i think he was a dentist....anyway, he had a lamborgini and he used to wait till the wee hours, turn the headlights off, jump in the turnpike, and put on the night vision goggles and tear it up...

true story....could you imagine that?
he had blackout kits all over all his light assembly's and that....i could not even imagine doing that.....black on black lambo

i couldn't go that fast on a bike...i've had bikes before and i've even ridden from ohio to boston straight through, going 65-80 or so...that was plenty fast enough for me. i did not like it. i'm a cruiser you know....the speed of some of those rockets are impressive but ultimately worthless i suppose. how often do you get the chance to take it to 180mph and how many times can you do that before you dump it?

Watching it again, it seems more idoitic (spelling?) than before. The road was pretty busy to be tryin' that. And for me I would never take a bike over 180 on a public roadway, because some of MN highways and freeways can be in pretty bad condition. If I was riding, all I would be able to think of was how much harder the cement is than my head.

it really is idiotic and dangerous...i don't get it. i'm into riding for the ride, not the speed. i get that some people are into the speed. so, take your bike to the track and get on it.

you can do that up here. norwalk raceway..you can bring whatever you want and get on the quarter mile and there is also a circle track...

i can't imagine someone doing that on the highway...i see bikes like that cooking it all the time up here. they're not going 190 but they split traffic all the time....they whizz right on by

It's obvious none of you ride bikes...

From the "hit a bump and he goes flying comment" to everything else.

Oh well...that's why I belong to sportbike forums...

We do, but we don't ride them like D**ks . . .

you see those cars he's weaving in and out of - what would your attitude be if your kids were riding in one of those ?
