Blizzneck: That was an indicated 140mph. I just bought a speedohealer and will hopefully have it on this winter.

In central Illinois yesterday, it was a blistering -12 degrees on my way to work. Today it was 1 degree and some a-hole rode his Harley to work. I assume he doesn't live too far away or is half nuts. It is a full dresser though.

I live south of Chicago and road mine about 2 weeks ago when it was15 degrees. The bike ran flawlessly after the hard start,and man what a power increase. I left work and passed a buddy at 140mph on the highway and powershifted into 6th gear. When thepower hit, my wheel went straight into the air. Man it scared the crap out of me, but thats what its about. Keep the rubber down.
Thats a tough one to swallow. Even if your speedo is off not sure you could bring up the front end in sixth. Not saying it can't happen but your gear ratio, HP, higher octane fuel and speed would disagree with your claim.

Thats correct ambient air pressure is 14.4psi. That doesn't vary. The air density changes, think of it like molecules of an ice cube then molecules of steam. They bunch up and for lack of better words "get closer together".. Hence more air per cm3
