Could get 3 points if he's stopped.

I saw this on the BBC the other day. He's crazy, but good luck to him. I also guess that the newsreader isn't on the telly because of her insightful questioning qualities!

Loved the 'to give people an idea of the speeds we have some moto gp footage' 'These bikes do roughly 200 mph'

Cue the footage of the 125 gp bikes...

I like the way they show a clip of MotoGP bikes going around corners to demonstrate what 200 mph looks like ..... then noticed they're actually 125's :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

I think I'd want more than bolt in swingarm extensions at that speed. Good luck to him but I don't think he'll do it, the bike needs to be lighter and he could do with being lighter.

The 125's racers have a better power to weight ratio :wink:
