I'm by no means saying I haven't done a rediculous speed. I just don't like these threads ever since that one guy asked, I think he had a 954? And didn't he go out one night and end up dying? I just get an eerie feeling everytime I see a thread like that one.

 

Uhm................that is where my link above takes you. The same thread.

 

Wow, sorry. Totally skipped over your post somehow. My bad lol, but I'm with gixxereater here.

 

LOL.......it happens. A lot of peeps saw that one. Very odd.

 

Haha what's even more odd, is that I used eerie just as you did to describe it, and I seriously in all honesty totally missed your post somehow. Damnit =[ now I'm that guy that doesn't carefully scan the thread lmao. Ahh well <3

 

"THAT" guy huh? LOL. Funny, and strange at the same time.

I'll be honest.....I stole eerie from the thread I posted. LOL.

 

Ihave had my RR up to about 145mph but it is geared down...

 

+2

and btw, don't assume that everyone that has a different opinion (than to yours) of the topic of this thread is a hater.

 

I generally and when I can safely and smartly do it, find out the top speed on every bike I get. Always have.

After that, I go fast enough on certain, good, quiet backroads, to get that adrenaline/controlled fear rush.

But also keep the speed where it needs to be so I can brake and take a good lne through the next good set of corners.


That's what it's all about anyway...right?

Just outright speed...I know for a fact that 200+ mph would not faze me past the point of absolute concentration on just staying
upright, and of course not hitting something immobile or something moving but at a substantially slower speed.

 

In the time it physically takes you to look down at the speedometer,
and your brain to process the numbers 1-6-0..........

................you've just covered 234 feet without looking.


Chilling little fact, that.
