Look at the surroundings. I have driven at high speed a lot and it seems like the speedo is reading in KPH not MPH. :?

Look at the stripes on the road... doesn't seem right. When he'* coasting back down, at about 100 MPH looks like hes only doing 35-45 MPH. I think it'* an imposter.
The speedo is obviously supposed to be reading MPH as you can see the higher numbers in the middle, but based on the surroundings and what I've seen in my experiences with high speed driving, he might have hit 150ish. I think the speedo is just off. If not, props to that guy as he has way more balls than I do! At 100 the stripes just seem to be going by a little too slowly...it looks like about 60ish to me.

Funny those lines in the road were moving a wee bit slow for his speed...
Maybe the speedo was multiplying x 3

A lot could be due to the FPS of thier camera. Like when filming a car and the wheels appear to be going backwards.
Either way, going that fast in any vehicle, but especially a bike, on a public road is just stupid!!! Not just to the person screaming along, but to anyone else who happens to stumble across them....
