220 mph on a crotch rocket

Since the nasty ice storm made it a bit chilly to be out riding, I was hanging out at Speed Tribe's web site this weekend. This is a diverse group of local riders who ride sport bikes for fun. They range from track day riders to stunters to just guys and gals that do sport touring on their bikes. I have ridden with them in the past, and the are a nice group of folks - although at times they do like to "put the hammer down".

I was a bit taken aback by this video. Caught on video, someone doing 220 mph down a residential street. Humm...




Here is an on-board shot:



Humm. I just don't know if that is appropriate behavior? (tongue firmly in cheek)
