Not sure if the speedo is correct as i'd expect the scenery and vehicles coming the other way to be flashing by a lot quicker considering the speed but...............

Blimey - that looks just like the road out of St Pons de Thomiere - heading towards Beziers/Sete!:o
Particularly that tightening left hander!

its in KPH
but its pretty quick in places.
made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I must be getting old

Yeah it's in kph but even so, he was passing cars at well over 200kph and it just looked like normal traffic. Things come past at a great rate of knots when you're doing those speeds!!!

I reckon the speedy is WAY optimistic.

I like that a lot!! Nice and fast and smooth!!

I reckon a gearing change has thrown the speedo out - almost 300kmh - 180mph!!!! - a bit too ambitious - looked good though.

Surely not Keith?? You ride like that all the time, don't you?

:D:D:D

Is that bit where the speedo comes up so you can't see the road the rider doing a wheelie? I've never done one and I won't be starting at this stage in life (except over the mountain, of course!) :P:P

He'd have no chance if a large Pigeon landed on the road infront of him at that speed!!

Do you ever get that when watching the TT vids showing on the on board footage?

I do. It seems to hit my in built alarm system.:lol:
