Wonder how many km's per tank he gets ....

if thats a mph speedo (and it looks like it), well he's only doing 145-150mph, which is only 240k ??

Its pretty stupid to be doing that in the traffic anyway.....

The bloke's a dead set hero, now where are my keys for the race bike - I need to go test my new suspesnion before I get to Phillip Island.

Ok, seriously, he's a f*ckwit

Think he said he'd adjusted the gearing so it has lower top speed but higher acceleration for track days. Presumably that puts the speedo out and also lowers his top speed.

Great run but god what an idiotic thing to do. I doubt he'll last the year.

He said he calibrated the speedo so 153mph should be pretty accurate.

Maybe watched Ghost rider a few too many times?

(It tends to do that to you....)
