Tell me this isn't one of our inmates!

How on earth did this guy (or girl) find enough clear road to get up to this speed?

You don't need much space to get up to that speed on a sports bike, but don't ask me how I know. Ever ridden a Haybusa?

I got booked for 240 kmh on a GSXR on Bagot Road Darwin in 1989 thats 5 km from the city centre copped a $110 fine and told not to do it again so close to town. In those days we only had to go 20 kms out of town and there was no speed limit.

If he was on a sportsbike he would be just about clicking third.... Nearly all the litre sportsbike run over 160km/h. Hit 175 in first gear on a ZX-10R.
