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!

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?

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.
