Definately NOT cool. Too dangerous for the road. No matter how skilled a rider you are, there are always other people who are apt to pull out in front of you, pass another car when they shouldn't, etc. Putting the general public in danger by showing your ass like that should result in bike seizure and license revokation.

Here's some crashes if you're into that sort of thing. Some motorcycle ones in there for you! Most of the rest are race cars.

There didn't seem to be too many places someone could pull out in front of him. Obviously that some somewhere in Europe, you can tell by the cars and buses. Maybe the roads are cleaner over there but my worry would be a rock... you hit even a little rock going that fast and your done for... what a dipshit.

Well, it was obviously in Europe... the speedo in KPH was my first clue.
On mountain roads like that, it's not unheard of for people to blast along them in excess of 200 KPH (120 mph) in cars and bikes.
Judging from how the guy was shifting, braking and taking the corners, I'd guess he was a pretty accomplished rider. The biggest problem at that speed would be wobbles but he was only hitting 200+ for short bursts. Bikes like that are generally rock solid at 200. Also keep in mind that super sports like those can accelerate to 100 in less than 3 seconds and brake from 200 in a much shorter distance than a car can brake from 100.
A fist sized rock would cause problems but common tarmac debris wouldn't.

That's a falacy. Given momentum is the square of your speed, if you're going 200 you have 4 times the momentum of someone doing 100, which means given an expert rider can stop a bike in 150 feet at 60mph, it will take 600 feet at 120mph, without even adding in the extra distance you travel in the reaction time. I'm fairly certain I've never driven a car that couldn't stop from 100kph in 200 metres. The average stopping distance is about 200 feet including reaction time, certainly a lot further than an expert rider in perfect conditions, but...miir wrote:Also keep in mind that super sports like those can accelerate to 100 in less than 3 seconds and brake from 200 in a much shorter distance than a car can brake from 100.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity
Miir is right. It takes far less distance for a motorcycle to deccelerate than it does for an automobile.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
My bad, I meant the inertia: http://www.arachnoid.com/lutusp/auto.html
The rest of my post still stands, it's the energy you have to dissipate via friction.

Except you're still trying to take a rather complex physics problem, and only look at it from one aspect.Zaelath wrote:My bad, I meant the inertia: http://www.arachnoid.com/lutusp/auto.html

The braking for a motorcycle, is as good or better than an automobile, and it has far less mass. You now know the formula for momentum... if you understand it, that should be your first clue that you're wrong...

Look, just read the article. Stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed.

Momentum is a force. Inertia is energy, and it's energy the opposing force (friction) has to act against to bring you to a stop.
When you start comparing a car v's a bike you have to then look at the actual stopping distances of those vehicles; those generally are listed for 60MPH not 120MPH so you have to use inertia to extrapolate. Done correctly you seperate the reaction time distance from the braking distance and you can clearly see that the reaction distance is a linear function where as the braking distance is exponential.
Pure momentum is only useful for telling you which direction you will fly when you have a collision, and how fast.
Where you're probably getting lost is that a car exerts a lot more braking force than a motorcycle (because it has a lot more contact with the road), but it also has a lot more inertia (because of it's mass).
Anyway, it's my fault for confusing the issue by incorrectly referring to momentum when I meant inertia, but if you persist in denying reality then I suggest you do your own test: Work out the stopping distance of your car at 30MPH, then mark off 3x that distance from a wall and start braking at that point from 60MPH. If you stop well short of the wall I will give you a dollar per inch.
