@133maxiboy What did you expect? Justin Beiber being dragged along by his hair while singing Baby, Baby? A flying saucer flying overhead then beaming him up? Bill doing a wheelie while tap dancing on his seat? It's a freaking speed run on an air field! Why did you watch?

@tohakwon Clamping the wheel. It's parked in a disable spot illegally. They tried the first clamp but it was too small so they used the bigger clamp.The owner then has to ring the parking officers, pay, then they unlock the clamp. If the owner disputes the clamping, can then submit a application ...

@Flamorgan No, no, no. The RC148 was

a five cylinder, virtually two and a half 50 cc twins.

Power was 34 bhp at 20,000 rpm. With max revs to 21,000 for short bursts.

The RC 116 was a 50 cc twin that produced 15 hp at 20,000 rpm and revved to 21,500.

RC165, 6 cyl, 56 bhp at 16,500 rpm, with red l...

@llandudnoboy It's a 125, 5 cylinder. There are NOT 3 exhausts on each rear lower side, which the RC166 six has, but 2 and you can't see the 5th which is on the right upper rear. The 125 GP bikes had white numbers on a black background. The 250s had white numbers on a green background. The sound ...

Bugger your right hand, no worries, just transfer the brake lever to the left side. Awesome skills Mick Doohan.

Spent a lot of time on the side of the tire. Must have been shredded after the sessions. What tires do you use? Nice smooth riding and not using all of revs. New bike?

@apriliakawasuzuki What bike you riding at the moment?

I'm already old and been riding for 42 years with 800,000 km. If you got knocked off so many times you needed an advanced riding course.

@codenamecordon It has tall gearing and yes it does about 190 kph in 1st. It is a stock ratio gear box with six speeds. It had a tall final drive ratio (sprocket combination) to reach over 278 mph which is about 85 mph faster than stock speed. You mistook a backoff in first for a gear shift. It...

To fly a kite really high you need a kite over 100 sq ft. You also need to use the strongest, lightest and thinnest line possible. This line is UHMWPE, (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) better known as Dyneema and Spectra. Nylon fishing line is, weight for weight, 10 times weaker than Dy...

@droceretik The line is made by Cousin-Trestec in France. The raw Dyneema fiber is supplied by DSM Dyneema in Holland. The supply is under a sponsorship arrangement. Dyneema is the World' Strongest Fiber, being weight for weight, 8 times stronger than steel and 40% stronger than Kevlar. It is UV ...

@flugplatz21 What surprise me was how quick around Laguna Seca the Volkswagen Golf GT was compared to the other performance cars. I don't know what tyres they ran or if they had any mods such as racing pads. I assume the test drivers were professional.

@PSXDooMERR Did I write that?! Jeez I write some stupid shit sometimes. However, I think some people do take videos "of" YouTube. How about if we took a video of YouTube of someone taking a video off YouTube of someone taking a video of YouTube. Then if you took a video off YouTube of someone tak...

@DistortedJoy What's the difference between an egg and a beetroot? You can beet an egg but you can't beat a root.

@schellwardee No, but you were critical of Bill Warner for not installing another camera. I found the other backwards facing video easily. cssfan1000 did not acuse you of being critical of the achievment but of being critical of someone (i.e. Bill Warner) for not properly recording this great occ...

Now how can this be? The bike left the car on the line, beat it by over 5 car lengths (0.5 sec) at the 400 m mark. I note that CarTimes posted a very slow example of a turbo Hayabusa as best bike time. They should look at the street bike speeds at the Texas mile - 256 mph and 278 mph mile speed...

@rottepung666 The R35 sure is an amazing piece of engineering but it is heavy and has so many electronic gizmos that take away the need for the driver to do much except steer, accelerate and brake. If I bought one I think I would become bored. Most drivers could extract mid 11 second passes. It l...

@Mrhistorian14 Misspelling

illegal is illegal!(:

Excellent explaination.

@droceretik Also the bike rider had the better reaction time, 0.529 vs 0.988? I'm not a drag racing expert but how does the car get a quicker time when A) The bike leaves the line first and B) The bike beats the car across the finish line by 3 lengths. Will an experienced drag racer please explain?

@xtelevisionset The rear of the car is not moving in a 45 meter radius. The front of the car is moving in a 2 meter radius. It's almost pivoting on it's inside front wheel. It's moving around that guy standing there. The radius that the rear wheels move around is about 7 meters. This is not drift...

@TurboNosHayabusa1 I'm an "old bastard" so I forget what people write!(: (:

@jurassico09 Nobody can beat her? Since when has a Hayabusa won a world super-stock championship? Any 600 cc sports bike bike can run rings around it on a racetrack or twisting road. A great open road blaster for sure but too heavy to be a nimble handler on tight roads and tyres would turn to mus...

@chalemalach How long have you been riding?

@droceretik Better to compare strengths using the usual methods of termination, that is clamps and thimble or ferrule and thimble for steel and loop splice and sleeve fot Dyneema braid. However if you just want to compare the strength of the wire agains the fibre then a potted end and swaging is ...

@tingsin86 Why is that? I think Kevlar is the last line to be used. On a flying field with other kites, Kevlar will cut through other lines if crossover occurs. Other kite users, especially experienced fliers will be very down on Kevlar users. Braided Dacron is perfectly adequate and much cheape...

In comparison to google Earth urban images with house and vehicle sizes the same scale it looks more like 750 ft max. How did you measure altitude?

How high do you think it flew?

I guess it wasn't a successful flight if it wasn't returned to hand so IMO is not a record. Like a hang glider must return to ground under control, a glider also, a balloon must return to ground under control. A base jumper must land safely. Neil Armstrong had to return to earth to be counted as ...

@aeravelly In the long run it won't make any difference if Casey Stoner or Ricky Gadsen is riding the bike. The ZX 14 tops at 299 kph and this modded Nissan, about 330 kph. The owner knew this before he started the race so the outcome was a foregone conclusion. So why did he film a foregone concl...

You can see why John McGuiness is very quick around the course . He is clearly the quickest through here and keeps his momentum up. His lines are impeccable and consistant every lap. Great bike setup helps as well. What great skill, course knowledge, memory and commitment.

@Renceau You are a genius! I'm sure one of the race teams could use your expertise and knowledge as they obviously never heard of steering dampers.

Excellent video. Thank you.
