I could have done that.

I found his comments about getting the bike hauled back down interesting.

“The big part of it, after the speed happens, is trying to stop the bike. Here at Loring Air Force Base, there is a mile shutdown to slow the vehicles down and I used every bit of it. The bike was bouncing, hopping, skipping and sliding. Needless to say, I got it stopped safely. It was a little scary.”

And the comment from this guy was great, too

Bangor realtor Dave Sleeper upped his best speed from last year, driving his Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle just under 190 miles per hour.

When asked why a 74-year-old guy would try to go 200 miles per hour, Sleeper replied, “Because I did not run 200 at age 73.”

[DuncanMoto]

Used a mile to slow it down... WOW...

Kid I know did 199.9x on his gsxr1000 last year...was gonna try to break 200 the next day, but he was an ass clown and 12 o'clocked it doing a wheelie in absolutely no gear, not even a helmet, right on the airstrip.

Ahahaha. I was surprised you'd missed the first one. Had to.

[OreoGaborio]

no worries

i think the most astounding part is he did it from a standing start and only 1 1/2 miles to do it. bonneville is like 7 miles.

that's nuts. Only took like 30 seconds to get up there.

[segue00]

Some of us take less time to get it up....

[NeverlosT]

accomplishment is cool but that vid could use some work. A $200 gopro would have been worth it!

[SVRACER01]

do go pros stay on at 300 mph?

[NobodySpecific]

do go pros stay on at 300 mph?

Only one way to find out

[SVRACER01]

it would probably look like Michael j Fox was holding the camera

[OreoGaborio]

Put it on the gas tank behind some wind protection and use as few arms as possible & i bet it'll be rock solid.
