I guess it depends on your point of view... I could make so much time against a 'Busa headed out my favorite twisty section of road (about 13 miles) that it wouldn't be able to catch up (wheelie or not) on the three mile straight stretch that follows... then it gets twisty again. Of course, that's with me riding both bikes. I'm sure there are MANY people out there that could wax me through The Spars on a Vespa. At any rate, I think it takes more balls to haul ••• through tight turns with a cliff on one side and a rock wall on the other. Have you ever watched the Isle of Mann TT? John McGuiness, after his first lap of the IOM (I think it was his first) told a reporter that he knew exactly what machinery it would take to make a good lap at the TT... A wheel barrow to carry your balls around in. Posting a thread called "NOT for the weak" with the content of a high speed wheelie video on a site filled with Elves is like a rot gut tequila drinker proclaiming that wine connoisseurs are barking up the wrong tree... To each their own though, that's just my opinion... | ||

Ya i KNOW and because of that I didn't get past the third word in your post. | ||

500hp wheelie IN THE RAIN, awesome. | ||
| Outrider  |
Wow...that is some bike and the rider must have huge titanium huevos. Not for the Weak? LOL More like, "You Bet Your Life." Anyone remember that old TV Show from the 50's? | ||
| Glitch  |
Was it the 50s?  | ||
| Outrider |
50's and/or Early 60's??? I just remember the ads. My folks wouldn't let me watch TV except for the occasional Saturday Morning Cartoons, Saturday Night Movie and Sunday afternoon sports followed by Dinah Shore, Ed Sullivan and Bonanza. Not to mention, all but the cartoons were adult supervised. LOL Have to admit it was good parenting as they would rather see me doing something productive rather than sitting in front of the Tube. | ||

More guts than I've seen on alot of people, put together. That fast through traffic makes me sweat just watchin. | ||

Okay, somebody verify my math, the photo bike at the end of the video was traveling at 285km/h. I convert that to 177mph.  Impressive to be doing wheelies at that insane speed through traffic. | ||
| Buelltroll |
It hits 290+ in some of the parts I cut out | ||

It's nuts. I can't imagine for one second! The guy with the cam is doing around 180mph(uncorrected speedo with a margin of error), and Mr. Ghostrider goes by him on one wheel at least 20mph faster. Regardless of speedo error, that is friggin insane!! | ||

The first part was okay, off-road stunting on a runway, an acceptable venue for dangerous stunting. But then to the populated highway...  It's all fun and exciting until someone ends up crippled or dead. Cause really, such idiots are basically putting their lives into the hands of a bunch of potentially moronic cell phone yappin' brain dead cagers. Stupid doesn't come close to describing the feeling you'd get waking up in the hospital all mangled and coughing up blood while the male nurse who is inserting your catheter asks "So, pee-wee, what happened to you?" Uh... I was doing a wheelie and... | ||

I'm with you Blake. One of those guys will end up painting the road with their *** soon enough. All it takes is one soccer mom. | ||

I think we all agree that's some stupid sh*t but you still have to step back and say "Holy Cow!" | ||

The first DVD he put out, "ghostrider", has a number of VERY close calls in it. On board cam shows cars changing lanes in front of him, pushing him onto the shoulder at 299KPH....and him passing a tractor trailer on the left with an oncoming tractor trailer further left, no lane between, still doing 299KPH... inches would be a huge exageration of the room this guy leaves himself.... | ||

I don't care for or appreciate the in traffic stunting. The roll-on power that thing has unreal. Blake & Bolt - agreed. Gear - the soccer mom would likely get hurt as well and that's reprehensible.... | ||

It don't matter who made the bike. I'd still rather watch this sort of caper than ANY chopper show. Bob | ||

That some crazy stuff to watch. That guy has some big balls! I would love to take a 500hp Busa for a ride. For now though my S3 puts down 81hp and my Gxer puts down 165hp at the rear wheel. Plenty fast for me. | ||

try driving over here in okinawa traffic.the local nationals on their scooters mostly,will make you s#$t on yourself when you see some of the crap they pull. | ||
| Jarhead |
Okinawa was a riot, you'd see these sport bikes coming up the road, and when they passed by you, you'd hear the little 2 stroker zing as they pass with about 80cc inside the ex500 sized bike.  ok ok ok, i was envious, at least they were riding. | ||
| Okinawaxb12s |
i guess you have to work with what you got,but these guys dump some cash into these scooters over here.they are a trip to watch.the scooters outnumber the real bikes over here about 3 to 1.this is a motorcycle riders paradise.good weather year round and from what i hear,some of the best roads in the world. | ||

Speaking of crazy drivers. When I was in Thailand, everyone rode the little scoots. They are fearless. Was on the back of one with a girl cruising to another bar. Yeah, SCARED TO DEATH is an understatement. Yet the booze helped heal the fear! Let alone the bus ride back to the landing. Bus drivers take corners in the mountains like it's a Porsche!! I wonder how many people crash out there. |
