What do you think about this stupid truck driver (to say it softly) ?....

And what about this car... Look at the moto's speedo. How is the feeling to have such a car?

The second video, he was doing about 150mph but what was the car in front? it was pulling away from him.

First video - at first I thought the road was a dual carriageway - but it is not!  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

No it's not... I wonder what would happened if another truck would come from front...
That wouldn't have the space to pass thorugh the emergency lane...

EY has already converted it to mph, the video gets to 265 kph

The car appeared to be an Astra GSI. Seriously modified if it can pull away at those speeds. I suspect it would give a Lamborghini a run for it's money. NOS perhaps?

I stand corrected

Mind you, I've got a bike and a car in my garage that are both capable of these speeds (the bike, slightly more) and I'd expect to be locked up if I used either of them in that way on the public road!

It's OK Tigger, I had exactly the same thought first time round.

Had silly speeds in my younger days, maxed out a 500 SL on the M55 years ago, wasn't as ambitious on the bike, was doing around 130 on the A65, near Cold Coniston as it happens, the biker in front caught his knee on a wing mirror, not a pretty site.
Don't like the Freelander at high speeds, the steering is way too light, you have no idea what is going on.

looking at the rev counter it's an R6 600 supersport and 270 kph is around 167 mph, so theoreticaly possible but does that look like that speed to you ? certainly doesn't to me.

130 on the A65 at Coniston that's good morning judge speed, and 3 months to find out if Elton John's take on sexuality is to your liking  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

It doesn't look that fast now you mention it?

Young Stupid and CBR is not a good combo , My 19 year old is now coming to the end of his 33BHP restriction on his Suzi SV650 and is dithering between a selling up for VW polo or changing for GSX-R 750, I truely hope the Polo wins has he has exactly the attributes that you had  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

I swapped the first Mrs Taz for he CBR, easier to ride and didn't talk.

Too many cars these days, especially hot ones that want a chase with a bike, always ends nasty.
I wouldn't want any of mine on bikes.
