Checked this out a couple of times. Amazed at the sheer b@!! s it took to do this but...There were a couple of curves I would deem missed (two lane road out of your lane and blind) and once he was in trouble if you notice the way the bike was 'hunting' . Would I try that,nope, do I really want to do 185mph on a public road again no.
I love the speed, thats why I believe most of us ride what we do , but at some point, it's just crazy to do. In my neck of the woods (mountain roads) you wont last the length of the ride.

deem missed
.........hee hee grendl..........that's fuuny man..........at that speed
I'd be missing every darn one of them ........LOL ........amazing to watch alright though
I'd say.........big hairy coconuts ........LOL

To be honest I think staying on the road as opposed to between the lines was the objective

here's 197.629 mph out on the salt flats

At that speed, I'd have been lucky to stay on the road Sprock ! That is definatley straight line stuff for this ol dude. But I do like the twisties and like to run them like most of us . The rules I use though to hopefully keep me alive is that I can go as fast as I want to but if I touch the line, you're dead...because you could be ! Espescially in a blind curve. It's a game I play with myself, though, because the idea is to keep going faster in the curves. What I really want is a ride in an F16

That's a dam good game, grendl. Should help keep you in check, I guess.

I've been riding much lighter the past few weeks with all the cold and leaves and walnuts.

Sprock, it's weird how looking out the back (or front) of that corbin machine, it doesn't really look like he's going THAT fast. Could you imagine if there were trees, houses, etc. in the frame? It would seem like he was going warp speed.
You know how it looks onboard a racebike on the road... it looks soo much faster, but in reality it's much slower.
