Same road me and lloydie found a playfull jaguar xkrs ... But his speeds make us look like boys on mopeds!

Never seen that video before. What a nutter. Least he knew how to handle the bike but that is still besides the point, one small thing could have made that a whole lot worse. Never ridden the road myself but it looks like a nice road, not at those speeds though.

haha really? its hard to get a true perception of his speeds i think

Ill assume you Richard on the xkrs?

Ive never really done any riding over that way except for when i used to go to the waterman bike meet

Good lad!

[lloydie]

He's a local lad and I think he is out now :-)

Did they actually send him down for it then?

He's wombles unreal at wheelies too

[lloydie]

He got a few years I believe .
Think I've seen him a few times last year lofting the front /-)

sorry but i have to call bs on that! i reckon hes set his speedo healer 200% or something cos theres no way on this earth he's doing 150+ on some of them roads... looks more like 75 to me.

[lloydie]

It can be done them roads are the fastest lanes around here and they are nice and wide .
130 is easy on the storm down them

I was thinking that something must be exaggerated there as it showed 170ish on his dash at one stage. It got thinking is this for real, maybe if it was John Mcguinness.

i was thinking more on the distance / time compared to the speeds displayed.
look at the scenery going past. sure there are a few bits where he's well over a ton but nowhere near the indicated speeds.
170 even looks & feels fast on a wide autobahn or track, so on them narrow roads the scenery would be a blur if it was a true speed.
look at footage of the tt and you will see what i mean, compared to this.

i can set my speedo healer to display 300% speed if i wanted to, so at 33mph it would read 100mph!

tbh i think it would be amusing to post a youtube vid showing speeds like that, get it flagged and reported, then let it go to court and call an expert witness who can prove the actual speed

You have a point about the speed of the scenery, and film normally gives the impression of faster speeds than actual.

Must admit the little bit of it I watched didn't look right. The closing speed on the vehicles and passing scenery looks wrong for the indicated speed.
