Are we sure it's not Kph?

His speedometer reads 299 Kph.

kinda interesting regarding his speed
"The competition to create the fastest production motorcycle ended in a truce, after just over a century of one-upmanship by motorcycle manufacturers that began with the 1894–1897 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller and ended with the 1999–2000 Suzuki Hayabusa. A gentlemen's agreement was reached among the major motorcycle manufacturers to limit the speed of their machines to 300 km/h (186 mph), starting with some 2000 models, and becoming widespread by the 2001 model year" -wiki

*wtf

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by ant.

The Autobahn is for Germans what guns are for Americans.

I've never thought of it that way---but it makes total sense. But if you had to have as many certifications to get a gun/use a gun in the United States as you had to get to drive in Germany...
Well---that WOULD be different...

Lol.

I suspect fewer people die on the Autobahn each year...

You would be correct. According to wikipedia, there are 4.4 road deaths per 100,000 people in Germany and 10.3 firearm related deaths per 100,000 people in the USA.

Given the relative populations, (80 million vs 313 million), you have to say that there are roughly 9 times the number of people killed by guns in the US as are killed on the autobahn.

That's a terribly sad ratio.

When you consider Germany's infamous history with guns and the power used with them to manipulate their people's recent legacy it's not that "terribly" sad. Sad as it may be, Germany's pogroms of Jews rate higher on the WTF scale than the U.S.'s 'purging of the indigenous' genocide as far as shock value is concerned.

German's like the Japanese were kept in an international box after the second world war and their toys were put in a box as well that read, "Don't open till we say so."

Except for the Yakuza, Japan simply forgot they had a fucking toy box and but I believe you can hunt squirrels with a rifle if yer a good German these days...

Whelp, that's my pick of the year for "Ridiculous response to an honest post"...

And yet people keep insisting that speed kills.
Bullets are pretty speedy though.

@chingalera: Yes, we germans have no guns, none, zero, zilch...

It may be legal but it's still stupid.

Jesus Christ and the gun-bashing bandwagon is leaving the station. My ramblings lost in the ether regardless of facts or fucking figures (death stats by firearms or violence), become mute when you consider that more Germans die of complications from their annual Bratwurst intake than from violent crimes. MY POINT was to pooh-pooh quadrophonic who turned the thread in the direction it went with a simple comment.

Then comes the bandwagon, which I attempted to derail, and now everyone wants to jump in and whine about their take on issues surrounding firearms in the United States, like they are some fucking problem. The problems' with criminals being created by a broken criminal justice system, the fear mongering fomented by news organizations and the cunts proposing legislation whenever some imbecile snaps, and the lackeys that feed on their output like pablum.

All stats, all anger directed at senseless crimes committed by the uncommitted with guns (mass shootings), and all dumb assess who feed on news organization's and their editorializing on sensible laws for guns (that we don't already have) in order to justify more laws become IRRELEVANT when you consider, that by design disarming partially or completely the average citizen is the goal of any fascist.

Most of you who UP-voted ASMO's comment without this explained context or with it, are pretty much the lay-down-and-fuck-me types who, should some fascist regime pop-in and tell them what and how to do things now, would enthusiastically succumb, especially if the offer were candy-coated and the statistics looked good, and you could keep things like groceries and your fucking car.
(and yeah, I up'ed quad's comment...I love to jump head-first into threads hi-jacked by passionate fools)

Or, you simply live in another paradigm (being in a country who has not systematically programmed their inhabitants with violence, fear, and race-tensions) and have no reference for the consternation of a sane, reasonable person surrounded by minions of dutiful robots.

uhm, I just wanted to post a cool video of a station wagon (admittedly, an Audi RS6, yes, I have gearhead lust) zipping by a motorcycle already going at insane rates of speed.

Hope everyone can still see the beauty and marvel in that...

It looks like his speedometer tops out at 299. A few times it sounded like he was still accelerating when it hit 299, so he's going 300kph+

Man, I love your, some would say crazy, rants

You know it's an insane piece of hardware when you realize that you can blast down the Autobahn at 300km/h with seven crates of beer in the back.

It was a beautiful thing. Got to ride in a 1991 E31 BMW 850 limiter removed on the Autobahn back in 95. The guy driving looks at the rearview mirror says something to the effect of "Thats Interesting" and moves right just as a Volvo station wagon blows by at well above 320 kph. Drive just grins and says "Not Stock" and keeps going. Had a lot of fun there.

No way! I wonder how much horsepower that Volvo had to have push that barn door aerodynamics (or lack thereof) through the air at that speed!
LOL

Sorry man, love to shut-down posers is all-Roommates cousin has a Hayabusa, runs it once a week, otherwise caresses it and cares for it as if it were a woman he shouldn't have around. Owns a fuckstack of guns as well.

"Roommates cousin has a Hayabusa"

Holy smokes. That's sort of like saying, Roommate's cousin had a death wish LOL
How do you NOT become a smoking spot in a wall/cloud of flying debris with that much power at your disposal?

Interestingly most accidents do not happen on the autobahn.

That said, the ones that do happen tend to be pretty bad.
1/2 mv^2 is a motherfucker.

An insane amount but I guess if you can do it why not. The old saying, Put a big enough engine on it and even a brick can fly fits really well. Still would hate to see what would of happened in cross winds.

Cross winds...(shudder)...

As a biker I got sweaty palms just watching that, and full respect to that RS6.

At 300km/h you're covering just over 83m (272ft) every second.

Human reflex response arc is like, what, 100 millisecs? So 1/10 second, so 27.2 feet before you even have a chance of a reflex intervening. And the reality is the you need at least a couple of seconds to actually process visual information and make a decision. Agree---the biker is insane.

Here in Victoria BC we had an arse ride "his mother's" bike at 300kph up through the Thetis Lake area of the Trans Canada Hwy. Video'd himself. They found him. Took his bike. And he totally beat the rap because a cop saw him fly by (across a 4 lane divided highway, passing at a combined rate of 400+kph) and his description over the radio, recorded, didn't match the rider at all.

The reason I bring this up is the particular stretch of road is unsafe at 100kph, let alone 3x that. At least the Autobahn is designed properly.

Agreed
