Article: Biker nabbed clocking 226km/h

I'e always wondered how they stop someone at the speed?

Most superbikes will do that speed in a heartbeat.
If the road is clear of other vehicles and pedestrians I don't see why not :twisted:
He's only risking his own life in such a situation.

If in built up area - it's a no-no

How would you know that the road is clear? At that speed you wouldn't even have time to register what you're seeing before you hit it.

Jeez...the crap people get up to. A bike already a coffin on two wheels....at that speed there wont be anything left to put in a coffin me thinks

Too true. Seen a few cases where there wasn't even enough left to put in a small box. :/

Call it morbid curiosity or whatever, but I tend to check out accident pics every now and then.

A friend of mine's brother also got split in half, after taking a corner too fast. Knicked the pavement, and went flying into a lamp post.

I'm all for going fast, but do it carefully, guys. Just remember one simple rule, and you'll be fine: everyone ELSE on the road is a twat and doesn't have a clue when it comes to driving.

FTFY.
 
i agree to some extent with the above posts, guys riding on the road at these kinds of speeds are just idiotic. On a race track, go ahead and open the throttle and see how fast you can get it to go, atleast when you fall off there are no pavements and trees and cars and pedestrians and walls very close to the edge etc...

Calling a biker a chicken, im not quite sure you will say that to their faces? And if you do you will lose that face very fast, I have not come across a biker that is a chicken yet... maybe stupid and arrogant but not a chicken.

It's had some work, but not lots. In fact it was not running properly that day. I had a restrictive intake (since replaced) and the software that was on there was crap. I've since put a different brand on with much smoother power delivery. Power is now up by 30hp and torque by 80Nm over what it was that day. Mods are intake, 3" freeflow downpipe and software. That's all.
