Volume is to music what speed is to driving...

Also, for you enjoyment: I have: driven on the #1 main street downtown in a city of X000,000's at 70mph. I have driven in the same city on a 6 lane boulevard at 110mph.
The fastest i have gone within the city limits is 145mph...
Do you know it is HARD to find a stretch of road where one can go over 150mph?
If I owned a vehicle that could go 200mph.. i would be GOING 200mph..
I WANT to buy a Hyabusa.. the best 200+mph machine I know of...
Alas, I am 60+ years old.. if I fell off a motorcycle, at even 130mph it would hurt too much.
One of my fav moments.. driving around a curve on the local freeway at 90mph.. the bike next to me I was keeping up with.. at the straightaway.. looks at me, I give the 'thumbs up' sign, he POPS A WHEELIE AND TEARS AWAY FROM ME GOING 95MPH AS IF I AM STANDING STILL... what a cool experience!
I hope these experiences give you a bit of hope that America is not just going to be full of little old ladies who cannot drive.

Elizabeth- you bring back memories. I recall riding my Kawasaki Superbike at 135 MPH, braking rapidly to sweep through decreasing radius turns wondering if I'd die, my knees taking turns flicking the weeds on the sides of the sweeps. Straighten out, crack the throttle, and feel the Dunlop KH81 grip and fling your mortal coil forward with unGodly G's.

Alas, I am now 53, and married with a child, so I put all this behind me some years ago.

But I still remember. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

For me it 25 years ago and that magical moment between 4th and 5th gear on a 1985 V-Max. These days I am a little more conservative with my current ride. Even though it's equipped with a nice sound system, the most intoxicating sound actually comes from under the hood.

I once over took a Ninja900 on the back wheel at 130mph on my Harley 883, whilst smoking some good sh1t.

on a Harley 883 top speed listed at 110 mph.. good stuff indeed with those pipedreams, and doing a wheelie at 130mph.. impressive, I bet you didn't have ANY trouble doing it with you apehangers either.
(some fantasies are just too unreal..)
