OK,  it might be possible I have accidentally gone over 100 a few times.   But it is pretty rare.
If I had ever gone over 100, and I'm not confessing, it would have been extremely rare that it was accidental.    ;D

Heck I've allegedly been known to "accidentally" go over 120.

Well, IMHO, there is a huge difference between accidentally and "accidentally".  QCTM

Well, last weekend, bags off, I touched 140  ::)

I was quietly going at speed limit over Rome beltway, around 80 mph.

I've been passed fast by a BMW 330 (car ;) ) black with a young guy and his chick.

I know I'm wrong, but I had to do something!  :shoot:

Thus I pushed, quickly reached him (he was going at around 120) and passed him on the right  :o waving at him with the left arm!

He tried to react but traffic conditions forced him to slow down.

I know I shouldn't do it (moreover at that speed every little bump makes my back hurt) ... but I couldn't resist!

Ah, for your info, I touched again that speed some weeks ago on a  highway with bags and top case on... ;)

Mine too, fortunately I don't have to see it when I ride it!

This bike serves no bling purpose to me ....eats miles but thats all it good for. First bike i've owned in my whole life that didn't have a full system on within a week of purchase  :D

I have never seen a "pretty" exhaust (they are all horrid), but the factory one is obnoxious.


My old yamaha..... the manufacturer tried to clean it by hiding most of it.  That combined with the full TITANIUM and carbon graves system I put on it cleaned it up about better than most bikes i've seen.



Marge and others were upset when I sold that bike.

Number of times I have ever been 145 mph.....  zero.  Number of times I expect to ever even go over 100.... zero.


Geez maxtog, you could be riding a Vespa ;)
