Lets start off with a word on safety . You should only say I DID NOT  OK.
When on the Ouray trip I DID NOT have an open stretch of road with no crossroads and no traffic so I DID NOT go for a little speed run . Well let me say I DID NOT hit 151 mph and I DID not get her out of 4th gear ( third shift light was not flashing) .So i wonder what she would top out at? That is the fastest I HAVEN'T GONE  and no it is not fast enough how about u ?
It's not about getting what u want
It's about wanting what u have got !

The fastest I haven't gone on my lil 695 wasn't arount 125-130mph. I think it would probably get a little front end light at that speed. I do know I had to wave you fella's on the bigger bikes around a couple times on the way to Ouray..... of course I ride like a granny... ;)

I've never seen about that same speed as smoking on my 999.  And most definitely not on I-10 between Tucson & Phoenix.

I never would flog a machine just to see how fast it could run, and I do not agree with H.S.Thompson's writing,  On my tombstone they will carve "IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME "

Roughly 60 mph. On my road bike. Once. Downhill.
Oh wait, we're talking about motorcycles.

Never more than 10 mph over the speed limit.  ;)
Bwooooooahhh
Braaaaaaaappp

I've never gone over 115 indicated (come on, it was only a 620) side-by-side with a WRX STI on I-25 and then hid in a Ford dealership parking lot when we got spotted and chased by a statie. I'm a role-model for little kids, for pete's sake. Can't set a bad example...  [cheeky]

That's impressive. I've only broken 50 on my old mountain bike (with slicks, full tuck, holding the fork legs, very steep road). That was scary enough.

last years ride down to New Mexico, there is a long stretch from Raton to Toas,  on that road i hit 130.   On one hand it felt kinda skeerry adn on the other it was quite the rush.  [thumbsup]
