Police are hunting for a motorcyclist spotted travelling along a busy stretch of State Highway 1 at a speed described by one officer as unsurvivable if there was a crash.

The rider was clocked doing 212km/h at Manakau, near Levin, about 9.30am yesterday. The bike was travelling south towards Otaki, but did not travel through the town, police spokeswoman Kim Perks said.

I've seen a video of a crazy man with balls of steel, doing 300kph on the autobahn on a Kawasaki ZX-9.

That's not crazy - that's normal for the autobahn!

When I was travelling in and around Germany a few years ago, I was driving a Peugeot 307 HDi (1600cc) at 190km/h on the autobahn and getting passed by Mercs, BMWs, Ferraris etc. at far greater speeds than me, passing me like I was parked.

Scary getting into the passing lane, though - no sooner than you do, you have to check the rear vision mirror and get out of the way of the rapidly-approaching-from-the-rear cars real FAST!

But the autobahns are designed for it, so the speed is not an issue - and everyone knows how to drive properly, too. Which makes a huge difference.

Lost a lot of skin, but somehow avoided serious injury.
Thanks to a good set of leathers (not so good after :)), a loooong straight road and a couple of lifetimes worth of luck.
