One dream I have is to drive a fast car over 150 mph on the Autobahn.
Check out this video of a Motorcycle Ride on The Autobahn...
The first 10 of this clip, the rider is doing a 'wheelie', so you only
see sky, but then, hang on.
The digital speedometer on the left is in Km/H ...
100 Km/H is equal to 62 MPH
Hmmm.. I just realized that I can't post a video...
I'll re-post when I find a URL link for this ....

Тише едешь - шире морда.
freewheeling (loose) translating: more haste, less speed
Yes, they are cool drivers. I'm not up to such courage. But...
I don't want to be a bore. I'm just driving my car every day living in megapolis.
IMHO Usual streets and roads for safe driving.
Like speed? Wellcome to racing track.
The last guy on the motorcycle from Athens like a monkey playing with a grenade. Will kill someone at any moment. _________________ My Want List: http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22729

I was on the motorcycle of a friend.
He said to get some grip, and from 50 km/h he went to 180 for my pleasure, I almost fell from the power of his acceleration. He still laughs at me...
It was at night on a long straight road running in the commercial/industrial area, so no dangers of collision.
Not like the kamikaze in Athens, just imagine a door opening suddenly.
And 190km/h on a friend's new Mini car, he slalomed when we were in the highway. I'm not getting in his car anymore.
Unless you know how to drive, people speeding is just crazy stuff for big fat idiots. Just watching normal drivers during safe-driving lessons (or what you call that). They have no idea of what to do, and it requires previous experience on how to deal with extreme situations. |

Impressive, that`s pure adrenaline!
Hehe, but looks like the riding guy does not
care about the road traffic regulations at all....
If the cops would have stopped him with a barricade
he would have gotten a lot of trouble I think
Funny thing is that you easily can drive aways from
the cops with a motorcycle which does such awesome speed! _________________ Ordem e Progresso |

My theory is that you can outrun the cars, but not the radios they use, unless you have an off road bike. Sooner or later you will either die or get caught, one or the other.
And dont get me wrong i ride a bike and i do love to push myself a bit sometimes, but there is a time and a place for that, like track days. The fastest I have ever gone on two wheels is 160mph and let me tell you that even a tin can in the roadway at those speeds will kill you. the trees and dotted lines just become a blur to the eye, you cant even focus in on stuff close to you, only quite a distance in front of you. _________________ "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."
