180 mph??
 

This video was actually done via time lapse at 1 frame per second. Ordinarily the camcorder takes approximately 30 frames per second in a standard speed video, so I'm figuring if we were actually going 60 miles per hour, then this video is speeded up about 30 times to appear like we are travelling 180 miles per hour. More or less.... :)

That seemed a bit faster than 180, maybe north of 240. Try this one...


Illegal Street Racing- passes Cop 180mph

Couldn't copy the link, just copy and paste to Youtube, unless you can fix it Rich.

Here you go....


I tried to read the display on the bike, wondering if instead of MPH that was KPH, but I just couldn't read it. Seems slow to me for 180 mph. I've been up to 140 mph and I know things seemed to be whizzing by me a LOT faster than that video of the bike portrays. But in any event at high speed, you can definitely see that things can happen QUICKLY giving you NO time to react. You would be on top of a car pulling out of a hidden driveway or a dog standing in the road in a heart beat with no options but to hit it or go spinning off into the woods. Either one would just ruin your day, for sure.

I'm sure it's in mph. 180 kph would only be 111 mph, and he's definitely doing more than that. 65 in first is about right also. A friend of mine sent me a pic of a cyclist that wasn't so lucky. He was traveling "in excess of 100 mph" and was weaving in and out of traffic....misjudged and hit the back of a tractor-trailer. His helmet was imbedded in the trailer roll-up door, dragging his body for three miles before the truck stopped. (Driver was not aware the bike had hit him) The guys shoes and toes were burned off from the dragging. Broke his neck and killed him instantly. I rode street bikes for several years. You definitely have to be watching for the other guy. I did my share of crazy stunts when I was younger. Glad those days are over....:eek:

Yeah, glad you survived your youth. I sometimes think of the stupid things I had done back then, and I think reaching adulthood has a large quotient of LUCK involved. So many things could have gone the other way just by hapstance.

MY math says that 60 MPH times 30 = 1800MPH!
Where's the sonic BOOM? :lmao::lmao:
Andy :wavey:

LOL!! Well that can't be right. Or can it? That would mean that in one minute of video, I would cover 30 miles. Well, could be.. :shrug01:

Yeah, THAT would be REALLY moving! Does it really LOOK that fast, though?

Hell, a 223 bullet at muzzle velocity (if sustainable) would cover 2181 miles in an hour.

Something's not right........ :crazy03:

60 MPH with a 30x multiplier actually comes out to 1800 MPH.

Yeah, so I've heard.... :hehehe:

I guess I should have said something like "Video done to make it look like you are driving REALLY FAST!" and been done with it rather than trying to apply my failing math skills...

What...........???? Did you go to school in, like, Maryland or something? :lmao::lmao:
