170

well well its good to know i"m not the only one who plays like that.I had a little play like that the other day although we didn"t come across any old bill, E6 TME v ZX10 the guy on the bike was shocked when we went past him as he was doing 155 with the wife on the back we had a very pleasent play for several miles on single and dual carriagway at the end of which we stopped and spoke and he said he couldn"t believe how fu....g quick the EVO was and what a good time he and his wife had had.He said it was the quickest car he had ever played with and it was good to come across someone in a quick car that was up for it and could actually drive.I must say it was nice to come across a biker who wanted to stop and chat instead of clear off with the arse ache cos they got beat by an EVO like they usually do_Oh forgot to say i did race bikes with works sponsorship for 8yrs.

Sorry to be kill joy but I wouldnt have been doing that sort of speed on a public road - motorway or otherwise! Police wouldnt give chase at that kind of silly speed anyway.

There are plenty of trackdays and airfields around for that sort of speed where the risks are not so great and fewer, if any at all, lives are at risk.

The Police would not need a plate. A simple check with the Police computer, connected to the DVLA's network and they can get a list of cars/bikes owned in the area by colour/make etc. Then its just a case of finding you. Sadly to say that if the cop car was equipped with on-board camera its just a case of matching any distinguishing marks/wheels or features on the car/bike and they gotcha!!

Very true but many know my views on track days.In 6yrs of owning EVOs its the first time i have played that seriously with a bike on the road,as you will know these sort of things dont happen every day because its very rare you actually come across someone who can ride or drive rather than think they can ride or drive.As for speed being a danger a friend was nearly killed on his bike last weekend doing just 40mph which proves you dont have to be going very quick to be seriously hurt.

you really have to be a complete idiot to do 170mph on the public highway and think "if (you) can actually drive/ride, this isnt a problem".

you will normally get away with it, but it is extremely dangerous with other innocent road users lives.

even really good race drivers...gilles villeneuve, dale earnhardt, joey dunlop, randy mamola, etc etc etc etc have come unstuck even in safer environments and with lots of skill.

Well you probably would have been banned if you stopped whilst going past at 110, so it anything over a 100 isn't really the issue.

What would I do? probably the same thing as most people on here would do (or have done) when they've been cainning down a country road and have crossed paths with the U turn crew....

Brake and slow down? or foot down and bye bye?
