Not as fast as the guy who got busted for riding 180mph on a Canadian highway :)

The way those bikes buck and squirm at 120+mph through a corner, I can't fathom the balls you'd need to seek that out and control it.. I mean, those kind of videos look scary enough when they're just clipping the apex with their elbows on rock-steady bikes!

During last and this week, I've seen this video posted in something like three or four forums. The guy is insanely fast, that's true, but he knows the Ring better than his living room, and needless to say, he's nuts :lol: .

Given a weekend John McGuinness or any of the elite road racers could probably beat it.

They're all nutters if you ask me. You couldn't pay me enough to take a bike anywhere near that speed. :lol:

This. Lol

And for those whom think I'm insane for my desires of my pcx, I own a '99 cbr1100xx (blackbird), I've gotten it up to 180mph, it took about 1.5 miles to get there.

180MPH!? That's insane. I haven't been over 130, and that was crazy enough. o_O

Ive done well over a ton on a single track road.
That was possibly the most mental thing I've done on a bike that didn't result in a crash.

Hard shoulder is much smoother, flatter, wider and straighter than west highland single track :geek:

HOW DOES HE FIT HIS BALLS ON THAT BIKE!? o_O

Wow, I wish I was even half as good a rider as that. He lost traction so many times, but recovered and had 100% confidence in his line the whole run. Crazy.

Did you see Marc Marquezs run through the pack after starting almost last at last Sundays Moto2 race? The onboard was stunning.

I can't. Pity. I'll keep looking in case it is uploaded. Worth watching
