"Whats The Fastest You've Been on that Thing?"

[G-Rex]

I know exactly the fastest I've gone, when, and where.

If a friend asks, I'll tell them. If somebody off the street asks, I just tell them it goes as fast as I need it to.

Well I got lucky. TWS in Sept '02. It was closer to 70 but they had air fence, tire wall, and then 'crete. Young man died there the year before, Spies knew him. Number 19.

I just say "fast enough" Last time some dude asked me to do a wheelie at a light I told him if he can get his truck up on 2 wheels I would get my bike up on one. He just pulled off.

Seemed as if I was doin 20. And then there is the whole sudden stop thing. Stopping in a tire wall at 60 feels like 200 fo sho. God help me if I ever hit one at 150

No shit! I go to a couple track days then try riding into work that Monday - it's all I can do to keep it under 70-80. And it doesn't help when I KNOW my Uncle will be sitting at this one place waiting (he is a sheriff and would ticket me for speeding).

I tell them the truth because it was done on the track.

167 on an 06zx10r. I had half throttle left too.

Now on the 600, once you put race tires on and setup the suspension to turn in quick, the things always shake at anything over 140. Shit even my ZX10r did as well.

Why is it a retarded question?

And there are those of us that think 180mph is slow.

Perspective s everything.

I must hear it At LEAST 3 times if I'm out all day riding in between my stops.

I was leaving work the other day getting gas and my Own associate asked me.. I told him I never broke 85 On it...

So, How often do you get asked when your out and about?? And what do you tell people

who cares... can I see the rest of your AV pic?
