nitros?
I've had those trick riding idiots doing high speed wheelies right in front of me on the expressway. Makes me nervous just watching.
A Honda blackbird (1000) with flatslides, an aftermarket exhaust and a change of sprocket will do 205 all day long.
The stock Suzuki GSX-1300R 'Hayabusa' can reach this speed right off the dealer's showroom floor.
I want to be there when he tells the judge he was only doing 190.
Oops, you beat me to it.

Money. It's not likely that a 20yr. old would have the money to put into a Honda 1000 to get it to top out at 205. In any kind of racing, the operative question is not: "How fast do you want to go", but: "How much money do you have". Even so, if the kid had a rich father willing to indulge his son, a Honda 1000 would not be a candidate for power bucks.
Kind of interesting to read.
At one time, I knew an attorney who was from Muncie IN. We were talking about speeding about ten years ago and he mentioned a story of a guy on a crotch rocket who got cited for doing 140 mph by an Indiana State Trooper. The trooper was doing radar when the bike went by in a blur. The trooper didn't catch the biker until later. The biker's neighbor was listening to the police radio traffic on a scanner and saw the biker pull into his driveway in a hurry. The description given by the cop (color of the bike) over the scanner matched the biker. The neighbor and the biker were not on good terms. The neighbor called the IN State Police and the biker was arrested for reckless driving. The biker hired an attorney and got the charge thrown out but it took a while.
Is there a problem, officer?
Harleys are still the baddest, just for sheerly being a Harley.
Go faster all you want, its like a gun vs a well crafted sword. One gets the job done quicker, but the other has a soul.
I got one in Montana doing 142, but it was during the open limit so all i got was a reckless endangerment which is a civil fine verses a motor vehicle fine and did not appear on my record. i actually "had" to drive that fast otherwise i would have missed ship's movement! i had to call the judge when i pulled back into port, luckily he was former navy so he let me off with forfeit of bail and a stern lecture on time management.
ping.
ROFLMBO!!!! No doubt!
Have you seen this story Blackie? This kid's an idiot, but the posts are good!
Whoa Nelly! Were you arrested? What was the penalty?
"I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right "
--Billy Joel
And maybe no helmet law??
