That's the "procreating" funniest thing I've read it forever. :laughing:
Technically true. 1 person 10 million sperm. Only one makes it out alive.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

50% the same as your fathers. Don't discount your mother that much.

Beyond that, remember, internet forums are often a place for the imagination. People tend to be cynical at to good to be true situations.

We also didn't check into wheel size. Perhaps your bike is running a larger wheel that would throw your speedo off.

99% is pretty accurate, actually...

Any given human shares 98% of his DNA with chimpanzees ;)

In my deep dark past, I was an MP in the CAF, and thanks to the FLQ crisis of the 1970's, Canadian MP's are fully accredited Peace Officers and Officers of the Court, with identical powers of those of the Queen's Cowboys (RCMP). You be amazed how many civvies were stunned and p.o'ed to learn in traffic court that that speeding ticket I issued to them on the public highways near the base were legal and the fine legit. :lol:

Anyways, a lot of your story rings false in my ears.

If someone blizted by me at such a high rate of speed and I nabbed them, they would be cited for at least excessive speed, undo care and attention, and reckless endangerment.

And god forbid I discover that the plate on the back of the vehicle belonged to another and your vehicle was uninsured and unregistered, then you would face additional citations and fines. Also, I'd yank that plate of the bike and confiscate it and impound the bike until you proved your had proper insurance and registration.

There would no way in hell I or any other professional cop would allow you to ride off in the sunset uninsured, especially after you or your dad had just proven to me that you guy are a rolling disaster looking for a place to happen and have little regard to the safety of others using the highway. By the time I had finished writing you up, you would be facing thousands in fines and probably have to sell you bike to pay for them.

Also, if you speedo is reading 165 and is off by 10%, your old man would of still of going 150 MPH (claimed), is an R6 even capable of that sort of performance?


On a side note, do this forum have a Squid of the Month award?
Always ask why.

I wouldnt say easily ..... little bit ago an idiot posted himself on youtube over here in hawaii on his r6 (2004) gunning it insanely. He tops out at 153....... so its definately attainable, but not too much power left after that.



edit: he did have lower gearing, but also a speedo healer..... so I spose top speed would be more without that, my apologies :oops:
