Where's a Cop When You Need One

Don't know if anyone has seen this one yet. Pretty scary being it is on a public freeway. :hmmm:

He pulled it from Youtube, probably figuring the law will be after him soon.

Some young men just have too much money. It exceeds the capacity of their even swollen heads.

But I have to admit.
Middle of the night. Empty road.

I would be tempted to do it myself. :oops:

man that would be fun to drive on a race track or the autobahn in germany. here in canada ontario,if you drive 30 mph over,you can kiss your ride goodbye and your licence too. laws are getting tough on speeding. sometimes i wonder why the muscle cars are back along with many exotics. specially when i am in my 2007 gt 500 with 500 hp i can be doing over 100 mph within seconds but i do it rarely and for short bursts. i guess there will always be the need for speed but respect that power and do it responsibly :thumbsup: its the younger generation that always push that power daily and ruin all the fun for others. :s008:

So true! The cops have tried to catch him but have not succeeded as far as I know. No number plates on his motorcycle.

I used to ride a ZX-11, 1052CC, 485Lb. 185 H.P. it scared me a couple of times. That guy is insane but also highly talented. One mistake....R.I.P.!! Even many time World SportBike Champ Carl Fogarty has crashed BAD!! :wink: Check out the Busa Turbo Chris. He pulls the front at 180+ this guy is nuts!!

My bike today would get beat by the 600's. The ZX-14 and Hayabusa are fastest. But if I could buy/ride any bike today it would be a Ducati! :thumbsup: The 1993 Kaw ZX-11C-4 was 145 H.P. stock. Todays bikes are 20%+ higher than that stock!! I had a Rob Muzzy Pipe, Dyno Jet III kit in the Mikunis, lightened, R&K chain, dunlop 180/55. I'm glad I dont ride anymore. I would have crashed for sure by now. I love going fast!

The sound from a V-twin is great.

It looks as if one already is intrested. Is it a dog or a cat who takes a closer look at the front wheel? :wink: Nice bike! :s007:
I would love to own it but I havenĀ“t got the $$$ right now. :(

the amx in the video on you tube i have posted has been certified 180 mph by the silver state classic run, he said that at 140 and above the road stripe is a blur , small bumps in the road become launching pads, his car became air borne several times, this is a hiway closed down for this event, and people have still died, a viper crashed so bad it burned to the ground and was only about a foot tall when they put the fire out!both people died, there was a couple that built a 200 grand race mustang he decided to run race rubber, against the advice of the nevada state hiway engineers, he slid off the road at close to 190 mph and crashed and burned , killed his wife and he was badly burned,my point is speed is a great sensation , until you crash, then it hurts, that speed is crazy, and most people dont have the practice , that all!

How long have you been riding Wayne? Is that your busa? I see the 4 into 2 pypes are all the rage these days. Wonder why? The 4 into 1 was way lighter,(titanium/Carbon).
