I know people who have done it for track day vids too. Douchers mainly. I will see if I can find one.

You do realize that Speed is not accurately portrayed by objects in sight right?

Airplanes for example, They dont look like there going 600 Miles an hour...Whether your IN one or looking at one from the ground.

Same thing in a car...Or on a bike...Speed is not something you can judge with the camera angle of this video.

Sigh.

Point being, posting a pic of the gauge reading in MPH, doesn't exactly help your argument.

I dont know why everyone thinks he wasnt going over 140...Because the Video looks slow?

Do planes look like there flying at 600 MPH?

Well, I for one can't say that I haven't ridden in a similar manner AND I seem to remember several crazy double line/blind corner passes riding with some of you...

The main problem I have with this guy's behavior, is his willingness to endanger a passenger. Although, I've also done some of that as well.... Oh well, I guess I won't be throwing any stones since I too have engaged in dangerous/idiotic behavior myself. After all, I have a glass house to protect.

I do agree with OSP about the camera.... Hopefully, it's a GoPro HD.
