    Hmm, I have to say that the idea that the camera managed to pan quick
    enough for the bike to be only slightly blurred while the rest of the
    image is sharp at that speed highly unlikely.

    Even more unlikely is that the camera remained still as the bike passed.

    Basically, that bike is not going at 315km/h.

  4. Amazing sign that. It knew the rider and/or photographer was
    English-speaking.

    Quite likely in Australia I would have thought?

    Likewise NZ. But Canada's LHD, KM & English-speaking.

    True.

    315km/h = 87.5m/s

    So in 1/1000 second it would only move 8.75cm. Feasible in the light
    available but depth of field is suspiciously, errr, deep.
    Nahh, the camera must be still.
    Probably not, but Lozzo doesn't care.

    Hmmm - am I the only one to notice how narrow the display is for three
    digits? If that sign tried to display 325 it wouldn't fit!

    That was my thought when I saw it. I don't care if it's real or not,
    it's the thought that counts.

    I suspect Scraggy's picking up on Canada being a LHD country, given the
    highlighting.

    Umm, yes, it is. Not, obviously, on a bike... I'm not quite that daft.

    It's an easier shorthand than "drive on the right side of the road -
    that's right, not as in correct but as opposed to the left, which would
    be the wrong side. IYSWIM."
