no offense to your Uncle Ben, but that was actually Winston Churchill.


for fast, I'm pretty sure my Monster doesn't like to go much faster than 130 on the tach - seems to feel a bit unstable and fighting the throttle after that. That said, 115 is standard cruising speed on the Houston area commuter farm roads and she seems very comfortable there. almost too comfortable. like yesterday when I was barely able to break into the 80's before getting pulled over.
Fastest ever was prolly in the 140's on the back of my ex's daytona 675 -- not sure of the exact # but I do remember having to hold on so tight that my arms and legs were very sore for a while (and I'm pretty damn strong...for a girl).

Wow! Do you dress in red spandex and go around shooting people with sticky white secretions?

caffeinejunkee

In keeping with the OP's question, you must ask how fast was he in shooting white secretions?


Actually, I just try to go faster than the Cagers!

I have no clue... I glimpsed the speedo at 150 on TWS' straight, but was not done speeding up through the straight... I never really check the speedo on the track.
Have put Andre's SV to an indicated 142, and that was dumb... way too fast for country roads (i am done with that part of my life)
Have gone downhill on a skateboard at over 40mph in New Mexico...

But most importantly, have gotten my monster 620 to 190mph, against 20mph wind gusts... uphill... on a turn... COMPLETELY STOCK!!!  :o   [wine]

How about them apples?  ;D

BTW, doing the Texas Track Days this sunday at Cresson if anyone is going.

Later.

Don't know what to say anymore...
