A errm random mini meet video :) :P

The bike rider killed at least 300 children during the making of that vid :rolleyes:

Gearing seems a bit short though? Ive not been on nearly enough bikes to be sure but it seemed like you were topping out 3rd at 120mph and that seems short to me? Maybe I am losing it but I could have sworn those speeds were second gear material, with some bikes capable of licence-breaking speeds in 1st gear?

The bike involved is more of a touring bike, its not a sports bike as such.
 
ive seen this vid before,

Car 1 is a Rover Vitesse 820 turbo, few little mods like FMIC, induction kit and BOV
Car 2 is a Mondeo RSAP, with those weird 4 spoke alloys
Car 3 is a Ford Puma, Rumour is the driver in that car was concerned at his lack of brakes for most of the vid :eek:
Car 4 is a Power Resistor of Justice enabled Leon TDi, tearing the tarmac with its gutwrenching torque
Car 5 is a Rover Mondeo (yes, Rover Mondeo) ... secret spec engine with an 8v conversion for uprated torque.....

;)

Did anybody snap a pic?

The funniest photo of Fox just randomly appeared on my camera Monday. My network is fubar'd at the moment so I cannot upload it though. CAT5 cabling will be ordered to repair the network as soon as I can find somone selling it in white.

It's standard gearing I believe (having chatted to the owner of the bike...). The chain is somewhat loose at the moment though and needs to be tightened. Bear in mind it wasn't really being redlined as much as it could have been - don't forget there are 6 gears to play with too. I don't think the rider often stares at the speedo as he's accelerating but I don't think it's particularly unusual except maybe the loose chain which will slow acceleration a little. I don't think the rider was pushing it too hard either considering the conditions of the road, apparently there was dirt and grit everywhere. He should and could have redlined it more I agree :p

Westy it's not really a touring bike it is classified as a sports 600, but I would probably called it a sports tourer as it's a bit lardy compared to a proper sports 600. :)
 
I was about to say that there was a huge amount of debris on the road and I expect the Rover Mondeo driver was worried to look in his rear view mirror incase the biker had come off due to flying stones or patches of them on the tarmac.
 
Oh dag nabbit, this annoys me considering i drive those roads quite frequently and *** of pwnd you all with my dTurbo power (dont worry its not screwmodded, wouldn't want to show you up to much!).
