How Not to ride my bike

Seen as I came off at over 157km/per Hr (last time I saw the speedo) I could imagine with all the traffic on the road this guys demise Same bike as mine though except the road was empty when I fell (spat off)

Very temporary people!
Obviously not many Police around in that place.

The engines didn't sound very stressed for the speed they were doing! 270 is pretty serious speed, especially with buses and tractors on the same road :o

Crikey!

250km/h is about 70 metres per second, that's about two football fields every three seconds.

Wouldn't want any unforeseen objects appearing from side streets....

I wonder what the bike weight and rider weight mass / g force equation is,
going from 70 m /s to 0 m / s in about a metre?

Possibly similar to these.

:eek::eek:Don't think the people in those cars got off easy either and how far away did the rider go or bits of him,
it would be R.I.P. (rest in pieces)

Bloody Irresponsible

It's one thing to be a speed freak but they should keep that for a track day.

I don't think anyone would have survived.
Imagine how fast those bikes were going to do that.

acceleration = velocity / time
v = -70m/s
t = 1/70 s
so that's an acceleration of -4900m/s,
or a deceleration of 500 G's! :o:o
Just quickly, I believe the average fatal G-force is about 65G's.

Definitely not me. :eek:

Just before lunch and that made me feel sick.

Judging by the speed at which the lines and oncoming cars are passing, I think the speedo has been doctored to read high. The stationary objects beside the road are also not passing by quick enough for that to be honestly 270km/hr.

That would also explain why the engine note is not very high-pitched.

What's wrong? They are just two lads in a hurry to share a slab together,

A mortuary Slab

Beat me to it - I was going to say the same thing, there is NO way he was doing anything like 270km/h.
Fast yes but nowhere near that. What a tosser.

I think it was a twin eg Ducati.Anyone ID it for sure?

Knew a guy who's mate did that at around 300km/h. Bike stopped in the car but the rider continued on through a fence and stopped entangled in the second fence. All he could do was stay with the rider till he died. Rider left his legs behind with the first fence.

Honda VTR1000 SP1 same as my bike.
I would like to know how they Doctored the digital speedo as that instrument cluster is a sealed one piece:confused: Check out the tacho doctored that aswell..with factory pipes they aren't too noisy..but with a full Yoshimura Race system on like mine...sets off car alarms:twisted:

The manual and dynos state top speed is 286km/h but as all speedos the err as the get faster..his is suss how it drops/washes off huge speed amounts for little visible braking?

If you think Landy parts are expensive check out my replacement list from Honda Australia:

Front right brake lever: $90.43
Top fairing with stickers: $881.25
Right radiator(about 300x200x30) $1014.77:eek:
Right crankcase $444.85
Clutch cover $134.71
FRH indicator $144.49:eek:
Rear RH indicator $126.76:eek:
RH mirror assembly $144.86


So far from ebay
RH mirror assy (brand new from uk) $38 + postage
Both brake and clutch levers in carbon fibre look $32 (new)
Right radiator $210 2nd hand but new condition.
