you've never driven in excess of 100mph on a public road, Andrew?
Not that badly.. hell, I've never even hit 144 on the track, on my bike! I had the VFR pretty close on the front straight of summit, and I'm sure the F4 would do it but I haven't taken it to a track with a big runway yet.
But point taken, I do ride rather recklessly.
My point was only that I imagine nearly all of us, at some time or another, have driven/ridden at a reckless speed on a public road. Now, most of us have learned our lessons, by whatever means, but just to tell a little story, I got busted by a cop when I was young and stupid for doing "in excess" of 100mph, (In my Geo Storm with all seasons for chrissake!) and he let me go for 59 in a 50. I know he wasn't bullshitting because I knew how fast I was going, and he knew how fast I was going, and we both knew I was fucked and I'd never do it again. And I didn't.
Hopefully, this asshat learned his lesson and *hopefully* some other asshats who saw this video have maybe changed their minds about speed on a public road.
...
but I doubt it.
(p.s. I'm not talking about anyone here. I think this is a great responsible group, who knows where and when the proper place for speed is.)
