Thats some rapid riding

[Fastdruid]

Not that quick or very good riding. No reason for crossing lots of double whites and some very dodgy lines.

[Moulder]

Couldn't see bike speed on the phone at work, but I would say no before the mid point turn around but yes afterwards. Though this was more riding style than outright speed.

Quite odd, like they changed riders half way through.

Well it's certainly too fast to be anything close to legal

Very very 'committed' riding in places considering the condition of the tarmac, damp spots and blind curves / crests.

Why did that remind me of that Cat & Fiddle fail vid??

Seems like a throttle/wheelie happy knob to me on roads less than suitable.

I think the filming made it seem faster. The filming although good picture didnt seem smooth so even when you could see the speeds it seemed faster.
definitly some commitment tho. Having been on those roads around squires bile cafe ive seen police all over there. I wouldnt be that keen to cross all the white lines and travel that fast on that particular road.

Those rc8's seem to pull really well though

[sc0tt]

No faster than some of the PH rideouts I have been on.

Those are real nice looking bikes. Are they a bag of st or something they dont seem very popular.

The low speed zig zagging pisses me off. What's that all about?

Probably a bit of confidence building. I dont think anyone actually does it thinking its going to warm their tyres. It sounds like hes just borrowed the bike from the way hes speaking

Cuz sports bike. Warming tyres innit!
Mostly just over a ton when the speedo was visible so not that fast really. I'm sure most of us have seen 3 figures once or twice. Maybe. Possibly.

Because Sports Bike

Reading the comments and looking at his other videos id hazard a guess that its a dealership demo bike that his mates taken out and hes borrowed,

Ha. Sausage fingers and touch screen phone nonsence!


Just looked at his other videos and even the ones where hes on a 125 look fast even tjough hes not going that fast.

Im not saying its slow riding on the ktm by anymeans but i do think the filming makes it look faster than it is. From his other videos hes erm definitly not afraid to take a risk or two. Thats the polite way to put it anyway.

[pozi]

I am always baffled as to what goes through peoples minds when they video themselves breaking the law (107 at one point) and then post it for the world to see??

Not to say I never ride enthusiastically but why let Dibble track you down from the comfort of a computer screen?
