Porsche speeder story

[RandallNeighbour]

Truth #1: The Porsche is faster than the police cruiser

Truth #2: The radio is faster than the Porsche

Truth #3: If one plans to exceed the speed limit by 25 miles per hour, one must have a friend down the road to insure no law enforcement are patrolling the road on which one is driving fast.

Truth #4: 25 over the limit yeilds a reckless driving charge in the state of Texas anyway.

... I am guilty of reckless driving on a weekly basis I just haven't been caught yet.

Truth #5 Everyone will get caught sooner or later.

Truth #6 Have a slush fund for that day you do eventually get caught because it is going to cost and that will hurt.

A few days ago two guys on Suzuki crotch rockets were pursued through western Colorado at speeds clocked up to 165mph. Both ultimately crashed. One is dead, the other seriously injured. All the cops came out OK.

That's why I sold my street/track motorcycles. Speeds 170+ mph were too frequent. Even in the north georgia mountains, the speeds between corners were regularly over 140. With 0-60 times at 2.9 secs the acceleration is just hugely addictive on a sportbike.

Even at the nearby tracks, say VIR or Road Atlanta, speeds are just too crazy fast. Coming out of Oak Tree corner at VIR and screaming up past 170 mph with other riders drifting over into your line and squeezing you toward the edge of the track while you're cresting the hill trying to think about braking into the left hander - margin of error very small - just frigging dangerous.

Lest you feel the need to preach to this, don't bother. Motorcycle speed is like crack. Hmmm, I wonder where I can get a good deal on an 05 GSXR 1k? I wonder if there are trackday openings in Sept at Barber? Must have trackday fix...
