I fly all the time and it's occasionally teeth ratteling in a 767, 772 or larger aircraft going down the runway at half the speed the guy on the bike was going... I can only imagine what he experienced... and the 1000 foot markers were going by like picket fence rails...

And the bike was rock solid stable until he was off the throttle. Point being?

The point is, as you just stated... there was no instability until he backed off the throttle... There is a certain length of track available, and this guy managed to go 300 and back within that distance... He didn't have the option to just keep accelerating forever... there has to be a transition point... At some point, you run out of track, gas or something forcing the transition... But, being the super hero keyboard commander you appear to be... You got it... Post it up when you manage it and I hope you don't suffer the highspeed wobble or some other problem... Stay Healthy... and get over yourself... Most of us think it's a pretty big deal to go 300+ on two wheels...

Oh yes! 300+ is a very big deal. I've been 202 and my heart was in my mouth.
