He should move to Fl. I’ve seen motorcyclists go that fast on I95 on more than one occasion

The problem with these guys is when they crash at that speed, most of the organs are not re-usable.

If he had been riding a Suzuki GSX1300R Hyabusa he would have been able to hit 190mph instead.

[JohnBrowdie]

lolo?

ballsey. if you wipe out on a motorcycle going 140, there is not going to be much left to bury. I wonder how the cop managed to keep up, and I wonder how much danger the public was exposed to by the fact that he tried.

They scrape a couple guys like that off the mountain every year around here.

Damnit! He broke my record. But I was on knobby tires.

And lived to tell about it.

I did 160 on 2 lane Hwy 1 north of Santa Cruz.
Of course I was much younger and dumber.

It was fun passing 10 RV’s uphill.

[left that other site]

I’m impressed.

I only got mine up to 120 on a straight, empty part of Rt 64 between Richmond and Hampton Roads.

I just HAD to see what it could do.

This thread is making me woozy. I always thought I wanted a motorcycle, until I actually rode on one. 30 MPH on the back of my buddy’s Honda Rebel (stop laughing! LOL) was enough for me. I don’t like the exposed feeling in traffic, and I couldn’t bring myself to trust that the bike was going to stay upright during a turn.

So yeah, four wheels and a windshield for me, I think.

Back in the the early 80's this was my street bike that I put together. At the time I was a builder and tuner of AMA Superbikes so I knew a bit about fast motorcycles. This was a turbocharged 1000 cc BMW in an Italian Magni chassie. I have had it up to 155 mph, but now that I am 74 years old I tend to ride mor sedately.
