in case you guys dunno, that bike picks up the frount wheel at 220mph in 4th gear............. i think they never toped out the bike, becase if you think about it at 220mph, its hard to even HOLD ON, with out any wind pertection such as that bike.
i just read that the bike hits 220 in 4th gear.

normally when guys turbo hayabusa's they extend the swingarm atleast 12' to help stabalize the bike.

use to be all impressed by that guy and read up alot about him.

hes got skill, but i guess he just does it for the rush.

i dont think hes dead, i just think hes done.

wow this is crazy man. Now is it me or those roads were wet.....

if so, read this guys this is from my soil mechanics lecture.....

Compaction: Any soil can be compacted, some more than others due to theirs own properties. This is highly used when preparing a foundation to be built. Anyhow water can not be compacted at all for instance when you step on a pond of water that water isNOT compress, so it flows in different directions and at this 0 second or nano-second if you will your body weight is TOTALLY SUSTAIN by the water. So theoretically speaking all this bikes riding at this speeds they barely are in contact witht the roadsmeaningtheir tires barely make contactwith thepavement.THIS IS MADNESS....AND LETS NOT EVEN CONSIDER THE FACTORS FRICTION HERE [8D]
