It certainly didn't look like MPH, especially when he was passing other cars at like 160, and he wasn't flying by them.

i think the speed is legit in mph, cuz at his low speed of around 120, he is still flying by cars. and that is a highway, so the other cars are doing about 60-80. and 120 kph is equal to about 80 mph. so that wouldnt make sense if that were the case.

RACER X · 03-14-2012, 12:58 PM

but at his high which is 158, he's not going nearly 2x the flow of traffic, and thats IF they were going 80, which i doubt.

Dude was in Connecticut, not France. Why would his speedo be in KPH?

Either way, what fucking difference does it make? He was clearly riding like an idiot, and the chick on the back is lucky to be alive.

What a putz.

How long have you been riding and you still don't know motorcycle speedo's are notoriously inaccurate at high speeds? If his speedo so 160's and he hadn't messed with the gearing on his bike, he was probably running high 130's or low 140's. Drop a tooth on the front sprocket or go up any teeth in the rear sprocket and it gets even worse.

Agreed, but given the speed with those cars I doubt he was up that high. Plus the lawyers had to play it up for added shock value to show they got their client all this money.

Holy shit, those guys looked like they were gonna wreck at any time, I saw a few close calls, let alone the 1:10 part where his buddy almost took him out, and you don't see what the others behind them are doing until they pass. A bunch of fools, I don't think they were trying to commit suicide, but they were acting in a manner that eventually brought about that outcome

Reminds me of that guy from Turkey or whatever on the CBR board... remember that?

The more stupid people are the more they record. Cops probably love the hell out of it.
