[leo]How fast have you been, and on what?

Hey, what happens in my bedroom is my own business!!  

Fastest I've ever driven/ridden is probably 160 on a 911 turbo.

On the monster, about 130 (140 indicated) on the hill country trip

On the CBR, about 150

First time on LBJ Pkwy somewhere around Farmers Branch heading toward DFW There were no cars on the road and I was on my wifes S4R doing about 110 my buddy pulls about 2 mile wheelie standing on rear pegs.  He sets the front end down and takes off I hit about 155 (on speedo) and all of a sudden the road starts getting these crazy rolling humps in it and I leterally came out of my seat. (One of those times when your whole life flashes in front of your eyes) I thought I was a gonner.  Coasted back down to 85 and havn't seen that speed since.  Gotta know your roads.  Shouldn't even have tried, his GSXR 600 was making me look very foolish even attempting to keep up with him.

'Tis a 695, with the termis and other assorted goodies. The speedo indicated 140 but I highly doubt it was going that fast. I've noticed it has about a 10% error whenever it gets above 50, so I really don't know!

That's why I guessed about 130

Buried the tach of the Busa on the Indian Nation Turnpike in Oklahoma. It has an Ivan's Performance Timing Retard Eliminator which masks the top speed restrictor in 6th gear. Didn't watch the speedo, they are no good at that end of the dial anyway, just watched the tach. [moto]

That's 200 plus........right?

got my buddies m5 to 155 a few times.
on the bike only up to about 110 give or take (stupid off speedo) m750

S4RS @ 145mph indicated on the Lake Fork causeway (with passenger yelling, "Faster! Faster!") sans helmets.   

Later, she said, "That was cool."

The fastest I've gone lately was 25mph indicated (I'd guess 22.3-22.7mph) on my street.  I remember the tach bouncing on the 1500rpm mark as I kept the clutch disengaged and coasted to a stop.  Great stuff.

In reality, I think the SV650 has had 140mph indicated on a Casino Run, before I had any sense mortal fear of crashing.

In trackdays, in level 1 or in the 3 laps of level 2 I've managed, I think my fastest was 110 in the straight at TWS.  It's a looooooooong straight, but I didn't feel like braking hard.

155 on a buel xb12r then the rev limiter kicked in.  On the monster 130!

The radar said 135 but the cop said it looked like I slowed from 150 before he got a read. Speedo said 160. It was my birthday and he still threw me in the pokey. Then the tow truck dooche dropped my bike so you know it was a happy birthday to me. '96 900RR. It saw 160'ish several times but that's the one that kind of sticks in my mind.
