Hey Riko, the titles look good. Nice clean editing.
My only advice so far is get all your shots together and cut it long. Then just pair everything down to its bare minimum. So often, less is more with editing. It's painful but throwing away shots that don't move the story on and cutting shots when they've said what they came to say will improve your film. Pace is everything and once your audience is bored you may as well just stop the film there.
If you want to shorten a scene then cut away to another angle. It doesn't matter if you only have one camera. A shot of the bike from another View point or a shot from the side or the road can be from another day and another place. So long as the light is roughly the same. It amazing what you can get away with. You can also cut in a blank frame of black with your text on it and then cut straight back to the action.
Also, think about what you want people to feel when they've watched your film and cut for that.
Hope that isn't teaching granny how to suck eggs, but thought I'd pass on what I know...

Ps. If you hide a mic in the tail piece, perhaps under the seat, as far back as you can get, you should get wind free exhaust sound. Any mic hanging in the breeze at that speed could well pick up wind noise. Also, the seat should deaden the sound a little and loose the chain and gear box whine.
