What the H-e-l-l was that?


This "movie" was on standard cable and it lured me in when I saw a bunch of motorcycles at a rally. I even thought I saw one guy on an old GPZ of which I own. The rest was all downhill. What talent does it take to ride in a straight line? Also, I've gone over 140 mph on my Yamaha...once...on a straightaway in the middle of nowhere and even then, the speed wobble I experienced made me a nervous as all get-out. Now I'm sure these bikes are designed to avoid such things but the riders were on sportbikes with little shielding, wearing helmets with little protection from the wind (and going 160+ means you will, most likely, experience what feels like a strong wind in your face and chest), and the final race was on dirt where, after the most inane, predictable and boring race, the two riders are racing toward a gate with very little road left after the finish line...they went from 150+ to almost 0 in next to nothing...on dirt! I would have tapped the brakes into a skid, ended up on my side where both me and my bike would have gone across the road into the fence and probably I and my bike would have broken into 206 pieces. Maybe I just suck on a motorcycle. And I won't even get into the cliche'd attitude of these "bad-a-sses" beyond the fact that, in the final race, I swear I saw the Kid takes off while dragging his feet on the ground...I guess I would do the same, maybe, if I too was on dirt with a streetbike!

I know what you mean. I've done 155 on mine and everything becomes a bit blurry. I had to purposely slide my bike at 50 mph to keep from hitting a downed tree at night and ended up dislocating my shoulder so yeah that scene is VERY unrealistic.
