Re: [St] Speedo Issues

I gotta agree with Nate.  As an ex-Club racer, I like my speed, but 300 kph on public roads is just dumb-ass stupid.

If you don't turn yourself into a bowl of messy pudding, I suspect the local constabulary will pull your licence and bike and leave you to rot in jail for a few days, no matter what country you  live in.  Oh yeah, I am not forgetting that the 'Busa is a fast machine, however, no matter how quickly your bike goes down the road, you cannot outrun the radio.  How old is the movie Vanishing Point?

~188mph on a public road, WTF?  I'd stop riding with that guy.  I'm no 
speed nanny but sweet jesus, that's practically begging to kill or be 
killed.
