Oh bugger - you got me all hot and bothered.
(It's only a bl*&^y Suzuki!)

 

only another 5MPH and they'll beat the world record for an unpowered
model glider...

mh
(and that aint free fall either)
(but 360MPH on a bike... holy ****)

 

2 wheels isn't the only thing that makes it a bike ! To me it seems
weird something where you're completely enclosed is called a bike. Even
so that's faster than last nights curry..

 

I betcha it turning circle isnt much chop either

mh
(a bit like a outfit tyre?)

 

Yeah - I struggle to call that a motorbike. But where do you draw the
line?

 

about a mile apart

Has engine, 2 wheels, falls over when stopped if you aren't careful?

 

Yea, just imagine G-S doing 360MPH in his outfit, and... there
you have it!


GB, the mind boggles!

 

Somehow I suspect the top speed is more like 180 kph [1]

There are some scary outfit motorbike top speed runs in the record books
though!


G-S

[1] I haven't even been that fast in it but the gearing would suggest
that if it pulled close to redline in top it would get there. It might
have too much wind resistence though... not exactly aerodynamic.

 

what about the bike?

Now THAT'S a motorbike!

 

Oh no Clem, not You Too!


BTH

 

Dunno about that, just a little elevation and all is sweet. Might be
pretty hard to stay in your lane while cornering, but.

Better hope it has good batteries, dunno how you'd go bumpstarting it.

Yeah - that's a motorbike I'd like to play with. Or the original
Blackbird.
