Clocked at over 150... anyone else see this?

I only consider stunts like this stupid if they endanger people other than yourself. Some people consider motorcyclists stupid because riding them is dangerous. Is it fun? Heck yes! I raced a kid on a ZX 14 a month ago and banged the rev limiter in 5th. How fast was I going? I was too busy to check. We were not endangering others as there was no one else around. Was it dangerous? Heck yes and FUN! Was this kid having fun? Yes but he was also endangering other drivers and the police.  Kookaloo.  Dave  

Agreed, time AND place...  While returning from the Gunnison Colorado Rally in '05 I wicked it up to 140 on this road in Wyoming.

Made for a Hayabusa. It goes from 100 to 150 faster than an FJ goes 20 to 60mph.

theres a reason paramedics call motorcycles "donor cycles""

For two more weeks I work for a company that makes wheelchair lifts for vehicles... Some of them refer to us MC riders as future customers... I don't see that as harsh or abusive, just a reality for some us that don't respect the risk we take for the enjoyment of the ride...

Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather be leanin' than WOT.  It was just an opportunity thing at the moment.  I'm thinking this road was just outside the black hills.  Funny thing after this high speed run... Coming into town I tried to down shift and that's when I noticed my gear shifter was dangling!  The shifter bolt had broke.  I guess if that was the worse of it I'll take it.  I used a zip tie to get me home and ordered a new bolt.

The time I was considered dead at the scene by the paramedics. I was supposedly doing less than30mph. And was wearing a full leather suit and helmet.

Ha ha. Yah first thing I remember was 3 weeks later.
My neuro surgeon. Told me at a follow up several months later. That he was going through the intersection right after. And he pulled up to one of the paramedics who was directing traffic (cause the cops weren't there yet) and told them he was a neuro surgeon. Could he help? He said the paramedic turned and looked at me laying on the ground and said" there is nothing more we cando for this guy"
