I think boosted and N/A are both great.. A sick ass N/A car is just as fun to drive as a sick ass boosted car. They are totally different animals. Granted boost will always make more power, but N/A can be just as fun..

That is one FAST car. so sick! To even be able to run with a liter bike on the highway is something special let alone be in front.

I agree. He's a complete jackass. That guy deserves his car impounded and he actually deserves a long time without the privilege of a license. Like a few years to think about what could possibly happen if he jumped a curb or hit a car head on at those speeds. A car is just a s much as dangerous a weapon as a machine gun when operated like that. He's a complete ass. Guys like him make us all look bad and we wonder why the cops are all over us. Thanks imbecile.

hmmmm interesting thread

[amd4me]

I think that guy going 150+ on that sport bike with no gear is even more of an idiot.

[Koss]

The question is if you wipe out at 150+ is gear going to make a difference lol

[Bouncing_Soulz]

thats a true story... it doesnt matter if your dressed up like the michelin man.. if you wipe out going that fast your screwed either way.

the plastic plates in the jacket would decenigrate and your helmet would probably cause your neck to break

You guys ever see somebody eat **** in motogp? Leathers matter. A lot. It's the difference between taking a heavy grit belt sander to your bare flesh, or a piece of cowhide.. Motorcycling racing garb isn't shorts and tanktops with sandals on, leathers makes a big difference!

And in defense of any motorcyclist who gets plowed freeway racing a car, I can't say I'm too amazed... That evo vs gsx-r, sure that's great that they can pass them as freeway speeds, but it's not too remarkable really.. Bikes have an aerodynamic barrier that they hit where they need a lot more power to surpass than a car. I just want to see races from a stop when it's bikes vs cars, otherwise a powerful car with tall enough gears just needs enough time to waste a bike... and it will, usually around the 100 mph mark it'll creep up or fly by.

Oh yeah, and evo from hell is j-hole from hell... how totally sweet, you're burning out in school zones and driving in the middle of two lanes, woot.

Controlling a car takes talent; stomping a gas pedal to the ground and spinng your tires just takes basic motor skills and a car powerful enough to do it.

Of course leather and proper gear matters on a motorcycle.

We're just saying in this case when you're going that fast and you crash, I think you have a bit more to worry about than flesh grating against asphalt.

But yeah amd4me is right and the guy is an idiot regardless.

MotoGP is a little different than doing 150+ on the freeway. On a GP tack you slide on pavement for a short time then you're on the grass or in the hay pile. On the freeway you're on nothing but asphalt and then you're in the guardrail or jersey barrier. Sorry but leathers aren't gonna mean sh!t on the freeway at those speeds. I've been riding bikes since I was 15 and I've been down twice so I know a few things about crashing.

The last time I went down I was on an off ramp and was doing great until I came around the bend and some old geezer in a Chrysler K car was stopped in the middle of the off ramp for NO reason. So I tried to stand it back up to hammer the brakes and squeeze around her and I ran out of room and jumped the curb and was launched at about 50mph. The bike came up over me and landed right on top of me and the right foot peg punctured my right forearm and severed my artery. I broke both my wrists and cracked 2 ribs, separated my right shoulder and destroyed the cartilidge in my right knee. All with my leather jacket on. I have NO idea how my artery was severed with a leather on. It went right through the leather. Although, the helmet saved my life because I came down on the right side of my face and shoulder first on the pavement then slid onto the grass on the other side of the on ramp. lol..Without that full faced ARAI helmet I'd be either dead or special.

I'd like to see a dig race too between that EVO and a GSX-R.
However I am not so optimistic on the bike taking out that EVO from a dig.
I would like to see it though!
