Maybe with time, on a course, maybe, but, this is just beyond what average people can do. And I've xone some wild stuff with a car,but this kinda speed is ridonkulous. I drove in a demolition derby. I could spin backwards, slap.it in reverse, drive, spin it , slap it in D and go. The Rockford turn around is really easy. Just be sure the front tires are well inflated. I started on snow covered parking lots. Changing lanes and not hitting bumpers is good practice.
I had a buddy I used to ride with, back when I had my Ninja 500, who was always going 'too fast'
I used to gripe at him all the time about it
One day, he had found this nice wide back road (RR or FM) and put me in front
So there I am, blasting along and having nine kinds of fun, not even looking at my speedo
Near the end of the road I happened to glance down at my speedo while heeled over in a nice fast sweeper, and nearly fell off the bike
I was doing 125 MPH
in a curve
and not afraid
he let me ride his GSXR 1000 one time
I never did again
Why? I caught myself rolling 160 MPH (NOT on a curve lol)
and I wasn't scared
That scared me
