Thread: How Not to ride my bike

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

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.

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.

so that's an acceleration of -4900m/s,
or a deceleration of 500 G's!
Just quickly, I believe the average fatal G-force is about 65G's.

Definitely not me.
