Maybe if he'd took his foot off the brake he'd still have some steering
that hill would've been visible a long time before he got to the tipping point though

not sure it would of helped, looks like a real icy road and the road seems to naturally fall/slope to his left as well, pretty much fooked as soon as he got to brow of slope, bit of a sticky situation and short of just leaving the car there it was inevitable what was going to happen, looks like the SUV half way down had same issue ?

The Impeachment trial of Don Trump, very scary! We joke about nutters armed to the teeth waiting for 'tyranny' . It nearly happened!

It took me a while to realise the speedo was mph! I wondered why it gave up ay 185 and 15K rev. Those flies never stood a chance

Yes, seems the speed stops reading when 185mph is exceeded, probably equivalent of 300kph actually. Not sure why.
Looks like the tacho isn’t affected though, redline is about 14k, though it flashes as redline approaches in any gear. Gets it flashing in 6th a few times....

I noticed too how sometimes the speed jumps up and down a bit unnaturally, apart from the insane acceleration of course (!!!), I think caused by the bike going from more upright to leant well over, presumably as the rolling radius of the rear wheel alters on its edge...usually whilst deep into 3 figure speeds.

I suspect the 300kph limit as you say. Speeds on bikes can jump un-naturally when you're only updating once per second ;) I doubt there's a bike on the planet that cares what the rolling radius is any more than (most) cars (Perhaps the new Rolls that uses Sat Nav data to predict which gear it will need) adjust their speedos to suit different tyres. It's just output shaft revolutions per second.
