Is this really a smart idea?

Ok, a guy i know just pulled out his new CBR600RR (this is his 3rd bike, he totalled off 2 within the past 3 years at over 150km/h). He asked this girl i know (who has never rode on a single motorbike ever) to go for a ride with him. Now, i live in Saskatchewan, and the snow just melted, the higways are not only VERY choppy, but now littered with gravel deposits from the snow. Well, this guy took the girl for a ride..... at 200km/h.
Now is it really a smart idea to ride that fast, on that rode, with an in-experienced rider?

not really.

i would never go over 120km/hr with a passenger. they move and your in trouble. on a good day in a rural setting with no dew or crap on the road, i might go quick with my wife but it would be up to 200 and back down. she's been on the back many times and knows what to do. i would only do it with her permission.

to do that with an inexperieced passenger shows complete ignorance and he gives us a bad name.

thank you.... some one agrees with me. the idiot riders here in sask. are all under 20, and have no sence of danger for others.... :(

Did you really need to ask this question :screwy: you new the answer to this question already, your pal is a :loser:

Next time, tell your buddy to risk his own life... not the life of an innocent passenger.

The roads in Pittsburgh, PA are SHIZNITTY all year round, so trying to speed is never safe.... but to do it with an inexperienced passenger... downright "special" if you catch my drift.

i just wanted the opinions of experienced riders, and yeah, he is a screw ball....lol

You might wanna advise her against it. Forget the passenger, this guy is hazardous to himself.

Now where's Darwin during all this...

i'd bet your mate doesn't even have insurance does he?

given you implied a young age and two written off bikes, how could he afford insurance on a top rated bike?

oh no... he has insurance. Here in Saskatchewan its only about $1000 per year to insure a bike like that. Thats how he affords every bike, he just uses the insurance money to buy a new one, and usually pitches in a bit more each time (to upgrade kinna).

not really.

HAHA, Yeah you get up to 200 then say "is this ok"? She smacks you in the head and you slow down. That's how it works uh? It's ok you can tell us.hahaha j/p

very close

she digs her nails into whatever she's closest to that will hurt.

funny, she does the same thing when i let it sit at 6krpm for to long

lol, You don't have to say anything, I know right where her hands go........... (((ouch)))

this is a family site.

so she digs into the soft flesh under the ribs. :eek7:

*shakes head in shame*
well, i'm sorry to say that i am friends with an idiot....
most of you have probably read the post at the top, the 200km/h guy....
well, he has another idea....
keep in mind here... i live in saskatchewan, canada... worst roads in the world.... potholes that literally eat your car....
anyways... this guy now has decided to 'show-off' for the city.... he is planning on doing a high speed pass down the 'cruzing-street'... in his underwear...
now... i may sound like i'm being a little bit too safe here sometimes.... but then again... i know how cold canadain nights can be... especially the spring....
now honestly... is this guy really all there?

umm bud, it's your friend.............

this is a family site.

O yeah that's what i ment.......

umm bud, it's your friend.............

ok... lemme rephrase that... i hang out with the guy... usualy not by choice

lol, o ic. Well let look at what is crazy. Like yesterday I went to the drag races and there was about 15 bikes out there racing. There was like 2 or 3 drag bikes. Now they reach speeds of over 150mph. To me thats crazy. You take you own life in your hands everyday. It's up to you how you use it.

150mph is bloody quick. that equates to 240kmhr and my max speed on the track is 265 before a corner at 200kmhr.


no way should you do that on public streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


the extra time it takes to get from 200 to 250 is about 200m (1/8 mile) so imagine how much longer it takes to stop as well

At the track one of the bikes went down. I didn't really get to see it because it was at the end of the race. But the all out race bikes had to be running like 8sec 1/4m. Now that is crazy!!!

Those bikes are fast, but I also know that 1/4 mile is pretty short. I guess we need formular cars performance on the streets :D, seriously. 0-100 mph in sub 5 secs.

Also Blayne, I think it will take less time and distance to slow down from 250km - 200km than acceleration in full throttle in lowest gear possible. Don't quote me on it since I can't test every single bike, but brakes these days are bloody quick and consistent than acceleration at that speed.

your right about the time it takes to slow but think of the distance your covering at those speeds and how much further it'll take to stop.

at 250k's an hour your covering 76 yard per second.

now tell me you can stop quickly

even at 100k's (60mph and our highest speed limit) your covering 30 yards per second.

given average reaction time you've still got quite a distance to stop

You're right, there's no doubt that it will take long time to stop, even thinking of those GP bikes, but most bikes "should" stop quicker than particular rate of acceleration. We're still ahead of most cars though, in which case getting rear-ended is very easy.
