From pov, I have seen bikers come off at those speeds and end up doing months in ICU while their loved ones wait for a miracle. Head injuries and brain damage are common and leaves the biker dependent on family for the rest of their lives.

I lost two good mates (also brothers they were) to biking accidents. And they weren't doing excessive speeds. So if 172 km/h isn't newsworthy, I get the feeling it's acceptable practice? Good forbid we ever reach a stage where we condone excessive speeds.
