The scariest part...
"They note that if the trooper who timed Tilley were off by a half-second which critics say is possible given variables such as the altitude, speed and the angle of approach of his Cessna it drops Tilley's speed to about 185 mph."

State Trooper "PILOT" ?? Hope we dont get them here.

I dont think he cracked the 200mph mark, an i wonder which is more dangerous holding the Radar gun (allegedly Cancer inducive) or steering a Cessna light aircraft with your knees while you hold onto a stop watch. :D

ummm Mick
the Bass Hwy on the way to the Island, has these white stripes painted across
it, so that OUR pigs in space can time you on your way there
and then tell the bloke on the white bike with the blue flashing lights
that the ideeeeot on the Kawahondayamazuki is doing 197.459 kmh
(according to his stopwatch) past Tooradin...and to book him

scary itsn't it!!!

Just gotta know the goods roads. Possibly going to go for a squirt on GP Saturday. The more the merrier. :wink:
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.

Be careful boys & girls.........
I got my 3 points and lots of dollars on the Saturday of the superbikes.........I can't understand why the poleece bother with putting reflective markings on their cars when all they do is f**king hide 'em in the shrubbery :roll:
