Any idiot can accelerate a motorbike up to 200 mph on a typical Go Kart track’s short straights in the knowledge that there isn’t a truck ahead travelling 150 mph slower. As for the 3 litre Alfa I’m sure that couldn’t even reach 150 mph. You didn’t have a speedo but you had a rev counter and you knew your gearing. What were you riding a Moto GP bike and I don’t even think they’re geared for 200 mph.As opposed to a Isle of Man TT Superbike. Let me know the next time you’re entered in the TT Superbikes it would be worth the trip.But even there at least you know there won’t be any trucks in your way to deal with. So to sum up the law aren’t always as superior as they’d like to think they are unless they can show us any videos of them handling 160 mph + speeds on public roads.
You do make me laugh Carryfast but I prefer you compared to some.You have the ability to write more than one line and you have an opinion but I’m afraid your knowledge of bike racing is a little misunderstood!
I did say at the time (if you care to look) that it was no problem reaching 200 and you are quite right any idiot that could ride a bike could do that down a runway but I’m still glad I did it. It takes a lot more skill and practice to go round a race track or the TT. An awful lot more than driving along an autobahn putting others lives at risk thinking you are a fast driver.
Moto GP bikes can reach 220mph and even an old fast 125 2stroke will top 150. I also hate to tell you that grand prix bikes have raced at the TT.
For me all high speed should be kept on tracks. Anyone that thinks they have the ability to drive fast try a track first instead of dreaming you are the next Lewis Hamilton.

Come on jake you are so repetitive, heard it all before from you and although it’s true please try and at least add a bit of humour or something worth reading.

No name calling from me I speak the truth it’s your lot that can’t back up your claims
How about some photographic evidence about all your claims and endeavours

Well some us KNOW we are great safe fast drivers. My skill is superb, I’d probably be faster than Lewis Hamilton in same car…

Lewis would be asking Switchy just where he should be coming into the bends and at what speed.
Plus Switchy can out BBQ any man (Gordon Ramsey included) on the planet (watch his videos to see him do a complete hog roast in the back of a two door Ford Capri 1600 GT)

But Lewis isn’t on the sick after a car accident.
That comment does make it look like it went woosh over your head but I can’t imagine it did…

Pffftttt, a Capri? Wouldn’t be seen dead in a 70’s Chavmobile. It would be an original Fiat Panda

First you said that you did 200 mph on a race circuit.
Then you say you don’t know how fast you were going.
Then you refuse to say where it supposedly happened or for how long it was sustained.
As I said even track days at Silverstone’s laughable ‘national’ circuit won’t get you close to 160 mph let alone 200 mph with a road car.
The law would like to think they are good but as yet no proof of 160 mph + public road driver training.
Only Le Mans 24 hours will get close to autobahn type speed differentials and even there certainly not 160 mph + v trucks.
You don’t know what forward planning means until you’ve mastered that situation.

Are there any circumstances when 160mph on a public road, even by trained drivers, would be a good idea?

And here’s a link to a 2018 document that mentions the different training the police receive. gov.uk/government/consultat … e-pursuits
It talks of police rules on basic vehicles, higher performance, and pursuit vehicle, training.

Come on Carryfast, wake up! I think you do what I do and not read others posts properly before replying.
I did not say I did 200 on a race circuit. I said I did it at Elvington which is an old airfield and there is a long long straight. It was easy.
I said I did not know exactly what speeds I was doing because race bikes do not have speedos.
It happened at tracks in the UK and tracks in Europe and I have no interest in how long it was sustained as long as I was beating other competitors.
Silverstone is a great circuit, have you been round it now or before the changes? I have not since the changes. Bike do 160+ with ease there.
As regards forward planning I have done plenty training which involved just that whether in a lorry or in a car working along side the police.

I’ve clearly showed that 180 mph + is possible on ‘public roads’ as the German legislature obviously agrees and where it no longer does is more driven by the emmissions agenda than anything else.
Yep no problem as I saw it.
My case is strictly that the law aren’t as good as they’d like to think they are in terms of the difference in forward planning requirements at those speeds.
I’d guess that as much as anything else explains the self righteous bs of the Brit establishment.In it not liking the fact that the German example shows that the average driver can up their game to something far more advanced than what it considers possible even for the police driver elite.
Also like the law claiming that ‘advanced’ driving means brakes to slow gears to go because when it comes to it they can’t really handle a gearbox let alone 160 mph +.
The truth is police driver training is limited by their budget constraints in terms of machinery and not every police ‘driver’ is a quick car enthusiast.
Similar applies to domestic fire and ambulance training.
They just ain’t got the gear to get the idea and not always even the aptitude.
That’s what the establishment doesn’t like about the public getting access to AC Cobra performance and being able to use it on the M1.Bearing in mind that Barabar Castle didn’t know a steering wheel from a handbrake.

Carryfast why waste your time writing a whole load of waffle when all you had to say was “I don’t like the police”
Fair enough that’s your prerogitive but I guarantee 100% if you take 10 drivers like yourself and put them against 10 full trained traffic officers the latter would win in all respects everytime.
