Problem with that is

1) It'll take more speed than that to make a difference in reaching you distination faster.

2) You're gonna get ****ty ****ty gas mileage. Hell people complain now.

3) Go fast isnt the problem, its slowing down and also seeing in front and know when and how to slow down to avoid things. I know 70 and 100mph isnt that much difference to us bike riders, but to regular people they just wont have the depth perception.

4) Are highways arent the Autobon. There's too many turns, exits/entrances, etc.

 

thats sooo sick!! what do you do whena deer jumps in the road? LOL besides crap your pants

 

Wait. I didn't see the dudes right hand move off the wheel at all? Is it an automatic?!?!

 

Haha yeah baby That is in AZ and the maricopa county Sheriff has put out a bulletin to say " turn this guy in" on the local news. No ****, no lie. Guy is probably from SCottsdale AZ where lots of rich people live.

edit: yep I know that freeway very well... Loop101 in Phoenix. Best i've done on it is 140mph.. and i wasn't trying for any top speed activity, just trying to cut down the travel time. Cops are like white on rice on that freeway during the day and evenings.

 

There is an Indy Car driver that lives in Scottsdale..she owns a silver Lamborghini Gillardo.. is that a Gillardo in the video clip? She is married.


Only animals that are dumb enough to get on that hwy are coyotes. We don't have deer, but still smacking a coyote at 200mph would be disastrous.

The hands on the wheel..that car may have paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

 

lol...no you shift with the paddles just behind the steering wheel (silver things), with a car that can go that fast they dont want people to take their hads off the wheel

 

1) Not if you are traveling say 1000 miles on a roadway designed to take people vast distances. If you travel at 100mph for 10hours you'd be at 1000 miles. If you travel 70mph for 10 hours you'd be at 700 miles. Which 300miles is close to the distance of driving from Savannah, GA to Tennessee.

2. Cars are getting better gas mileage than our bikes now. People are going to complain if gas was 1cent and jumped up to 2 cents.

3. On I-285 in Atlanta if you aren't traveling 80mph then you are going to get ran over. The speed limit is 55mph. Anyone who has gone through Atlanta probably knows what I am talking about.

4. Actually the interesting part about turns is the Autobahn I believe has them constantly. The reason is going in a straight line really fast for a while can put anyone to sleep. But having gentle turns keeps people alert and that's why they can travel at faster speeds. The American Interstate system has too many straight on it. Mainly because it was designed with the intention of providing a landing area for Air Force planes aftera Nuclear War.


But one thing we need to do is have a more difficult driving test and better driver education programs like they do in Europe. I'd hate to say it but motorcycle tests need to be more difficult. And though I'd never agree to this HP or CC restrictions would probably help out motorcycles. Because in many Europeon countries they don't let just any jackass go out and get on the road with a CBR1000, R1, etc. I think you can buy one but you get a restricter plate. Which is why 125&250cc sport bikes are pretty popular over there.

 

Paddle shifters maybe.

 

thats not a Gallardo in the clip, its an LP640, which is a faster version of the Murcielago. and yes, it does have paddle shifters. while the paddles arent as nice as a manual, theyre still not too bad because the car will stay in whatever gear you put it in and not shift by itself.

 

so far it's been said already, but just to be clear there is no automatic for lamborghini just the E-Gear (which is a manual automatic)this car had...it's a $10,000 option!!! or you can get a 6 speed manual
