Default My squid thread: Just how fast?

How fast have you gone on the street? and Track? for those of you who would never do such a thing on a public highway

I ask because it rained the entire way home and for a short stint I hit 148mph in the wet on the interstate. The debil made me doet.

Its around .63.


My fastest was about 140. Nothing too crazy. I don't see the need to run 170.

130-ish (indicated) on a friend's SuperHawk on a ride out to Leakey..

120-ish (again, indicated) on the Duc sometime last year.

Not something I do often.. I generally like having myself and my bike in one piece and not impounded.
