About 400ft or so.... I'm too busy having fun to do the math.
Not Big and not clever , if that was put on to impress, then sorry but I wasn't, but hey but that's just my opinion . The timing of the release of your video was very unfortunate as it appeared right under the video of the guy who hit a car head on at 93mph , although the car did cut across him , his speed was wreckless.
don't think id be brave enough to put documented proof that I was breaking the law, we do have police officers on this forum you know

:agree: :police: :police: :police: :police:
The stopping distance at 110mph is in the vicinity of 720 feet..... :no: that's a bloody long distance.
Each to their own posting videos like that, I like to watch people's videos of their rides as much as the next person but you have to be careful posting videos of blatant law breaking, :police: can obtain account holder details from You Tube and commence a prosecution. I'm just saying..... :whistling:
Further than you can see to be clear :)
I like the fact that every one is polite to this muppet ,there is a reason why bikers have a bad rep and standing with a lot of joe public and this video is part of that reason.Only an idiot will place a video of himself breaking the law and then expect people to praise him and say what a good pilot he is.Well thats just my opinion and my wife gave me my opinion.

there was no need for us to be rude, dibz is a good forum member on here, maybe his video was a little ill timed , a few gentle comments and he has taken it down, without having a go back, so he is still ok in my book. There are plenty of forums that love that kind of thing , maybe that what he is used to.
Im sure we have all had a heavy right wrist on the odd occasion

You got the Muppet part right if you check the pic.... Bikers have a 'bad rep' because car drivers cant do what we, or in this case...I, can do on two wheels. Also because they have to sit and wait, while we can cut through and be on our way. If we wern't Bikers and we observed a rider cutting through a traffic jam that we had been sat in for an hour.. we would call him a c*nt too... because were stupid and we react to everything we see emotionally, instead of rationally.
If this is how I sometimes ride to find that escapism I need, from the day to day bollox I have to constantly endure, from brain dead tw@ts out there, that just love to voice their opinions of me or deliberately go out of their way to fu*k up my day, then i'll ride however I choose too. If some idiot pulls out in front of me and catches me out, then it's my life to lose. if I swerve and avoid to live and ride another day, then good skills Dibz!! I ride the way I do sometimes, as I feel that pushing yourself to the max, tests your reaction times and improves your skill level.. I don't believe for one minute, there's not a single one of you that hasn't broken the speed limit on your beast, be it 75...or 105. So don't be so quick to judge me and talk sh1t.
As for that dude that lost his life recently, My thoughts go out to his family, but he and the rest of us know, that every single time we suit and boot up and press that start button, were taking a gamble with our lives, weather it be riding too fast like he was, or some daft tit on his phone, eating a pie, driving a HGV that isn't looking out for us and takes us out while were doing 30mph........When your times up!!!!
So you do your thing and i'll do mine.....I post videos as I enjoy filming and editing, I don't need to be told i'm a good pilot by anyone... I know I can ride.. and if doing the one true thing in life that gives me absolute bliss should kill me.... Then I couldn't think of a better way to leave this Rock! Call me selfish... call me irresponsible, call me Al..... If I become another statistic, then pat yourself on the back for saying "I told ya so!"
So in closing I'll end with a Quote I always remember that goes... "It's not tragic to die, doing what you love"
I'd rather cease to exsist with a grin on my face, than by an illness that's eaten me from the inside.
Cheers :kiss:
