    As a rider myself I have to admit I admire his skill but not his judgment. If he were to hit a slow moving Alpha at 185 MPH he and most likely some others would have a very bad day. The Isle of Mann racers also tremendously skilled must be completely nuts, you hear stories about racers hitting cows or horses that wander onto the course at 200.

    Recently, an adjuster was handling a claim where a motorcycle was involved, and there was a question of the speed of the rider at the time of the accident.
    Adjuster looks the rider up on Facebook and his picture is of someone riding a bike with just his feet on the handle bars, photo taken with cell phone from the rider's perspective. Doh!

    The LCD speedo tops out at 299 KPH (186 MPH). He has other videos indicating the bike will do 220 MPH.

    There is no excuse for riding or driving at those speeds anyqhere but the track, this guy is an asshole

    I came back from co spgs last month, almost put one of these guys in his grave with my truck, only reason he isnt dead is because i looked twice before switching lanes, 140 easy down I25, he had no chance to react to me changing lanes,

    I witnessed someone doing this very thing on I70 this past Saturday. I was getting ready to change lanes by Bass Pro and I got some jackass on a motorcycle weaving in between cars like this dumb ass in the video. Had I moved over a half second later, Splat!!!! I drove past my exit 2 miles, because I just knew I would see him become part of the asphalt. It is only a matter of time!

    That is shit your pants fast! Fastest I've gone on two wheels is 169... only did it for a moment because I feared having to change my underpants, or worse....

    That video is crazy! I've seen some of those German riders with the tank cams and it does make me miss riding (going on 6 years now since I've been on a bike), but I never ride like that, and splitting scares the ever loving crap out of me! It's not me I'm worried about, its the 100's of idiots out there who don't know how to drive, or can't see me. The margin for error on a bike is 1,000 times smaller than in a car. Usually in an auto accident on the highway, your bones may break. On a motorcycle they don't break, they shatter. Still, no better feeling than being on a badass two-wheeled machine and it's just you and the road. I miss my CBR.
