    I hope you's weren't doing those speeds on public tax payer roads.

    The last time I was on a motorbike I came off the back of it and it landed on top of me.

    That was about 11 years ago, haven't been on once since!!!

    Had a speedo needle dancing between 160 and 165mph on a GSXR 750 SRAD back in 1997. I was a silly bugger then although I'll decline to mention where it was done.
    I was on the back of the buddies ZX9R one day when he decided it would be a bit of a laugh to break 150. I thought I'd need a new pair of boxers after that one.
    Don't drive any more as even in my late 30's I was still trying to get the knee down on roundabouts. Weird thing is that when I'm driving the car I'm your average 40mph snook. Put me on a bike and it awakens my stupider side.:o

    A gas gas, although I didn't really do any speed on it as it took off without me. It went flying off down the field on it's own and I was left standing there in a riding a bike pose.

    After you crash into something at high speed and you + the bike going flying through the air.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,980 ✭✭✭amacca

    wasnt as much fun imo and didnt feel nearly as fast as my 999 though (despite the fact that it is faster)

    They go waay fastera if you take off all the passengers. Was it a double or a single decker?
    GSXR at about 140, but went to Czech and a mate(a czechmate) collected me on a 1200 bmw from the airport and decided to test it out on the way home. Hmm. Not sure if it was the luggage or the nutty czech drivers or the him not being that good on it but 120 felt plenty quick enough to me.

    single seater (or monoposto :D as they say in idaly/not japan)....don't think it was the standard tailpiece either

    ah yeah its faster...but I suppose i just didn't like it that much.........I like the sound of my own more and it just feels faster to accelerate/lighter (even though it probably doesn't accelerate faster - never bothered looking it up)...it is defintely more nimble etc and not as much of a whale

    Passenger on a gixxer, getting chased by the gardai, doing 180mph+.

    Everyday on my Duke, as fast as it will go.
