Here's A Slow-Mo Of A Superbike Racer Going Sideways At 135mph
We’re just going to leave this here tonight ... 🙌🏻

However it’s worth noting that @ohalloran22 is doing 135mph, touching the limiter in fifth AND the rear wheel is travelling over 30mph faster than the front! 😱😬 #Honda #CBR1000RR #Fireblade #SilverstoneBSB pic.twitter.com/nreQX8dRhS
Silverstone is known for being a fast circuit, whatever the category of racing. In a car, the Woodcote corner is little more than a curved acceleration zone. On a superbike, things can be a touch hairier.
This slow-motion footage of British Superbike Rider Jason O’Halloran gets more ridiculous the more times you watch it. There are so many contrasting angles going on at once: the lean angle, the slide angle, the steering angle. Opposite lock on a bike is par for the course in Speedway and Motocross but on asphalt, at 135mph hitting the limiter in fifth gear? Unreal.
Now, excuse us while we watch it a few more times.

Balls.
NANI??
Motobikeo driftio?
How do I watch this without having a twitter account? 😠
His tyres lost traction at that speed because of the overwhelming inertia caused by the sheer mass of the rider’s balls!
That’s 200+BHP and 165kg gets you! Oh and that sweet countersteering. You turn the bike with the rear wheel in most cases. SWEEETTTT
“What do you mean drift?”
how come the rear is goin faster than the front?
