FIJI-9-Brother Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 how many bikes are there that can really do 193, and in the rain? I mean I know, everyone's bike on here can go 193 right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I like the ignorant comments on the article, they seriously think he was doing 193 in the rain? Sure bikes are fast but come on, thats just damn near impossible to do in the dry, let alone in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I wonder how fast a motorcycle can physically go on a given rain covered surface...at some point (i'm betting before 190) the motorcycle tire would just hydroplane and not have any grip to the pavement at all, at which point the drag from the air would stop it accelerating, and likely slow it some...

ScubaCinci Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've never been shot with a real bullet nor hit a raindrop at anywhere over 90mph so I wouldn't know but I sure don't want to experience either one.I would think at some point, depending on the severity of the rain and conditions of the road, hydroplaning would become a high probability. In a car, it can be pretty scary but on a bike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water at that speed would feel like solid objects.I don't necessarily agree with this... on bare skin it might suck, but if you got a jacket and helmet, I bet it would be less than painful, and probably not even that uncomfortable...

I thought I was going to die for sure and that was at about 70mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that as bright as said rider appears to be, odds are he wasn't properly attired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah I'm waving the bullshit flag here. Hopefully it was a misprint and he was only doing 90, still fast in the rain but manageable. The question I ask my self is if he is dumb enough to go that fast in the rain what makes you think he is smart enough to wear gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
