And here's the number I'll remember for a while
123MPH = JONA GETS SCARED AND BOTTLES IT
LOL...You do search and rescue, dangling out of helicopters, and you get scared at 123 mph? I figure it should be the other way around.

hey you were wearing safety gear as long as it was Corona brand!!!The fastest I've been on my naked warrior is 195 kilometers per hour = 121mph. I was wearing shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops (I know, STUPID).
The d@mn flip-flops slowed me down!!!!
good times!!!:thumbup:Well i have 109 miles on the FZ 1 in the two days I have had it at the house. And I am keeping it under 7 grand for the first 600 miles, obviously changes engines speeds often (i build small-block fords's as a hobby so this is nothing new).
Anywayssss, I took off on a empty road today and rolled onto the throttle probably 65% through 1st (probably like 7500) and a quick squirt into 2nd, and i was already over 100! I can only roll on it or the damn front tire starts heading skyward....I can't wait till this thing is broken in enough where i can send it to 12.5 k+
:surrender:
This noob giggles at your way with understatement....153 the other day but that is it

the trick is not to target fixate, the faster you go the farther ahead of you you need to look. this does two things, 1. it lessens the feel of how fast your going. 2. at high speeds if there is something in the road you need to identify it and make coarse corrections before your on it, keep in mind at 135MPH your covering 198 feet per second. at that speed if you see something 100 feet in front of you, you'd hit it before you would have a chance to respond!!!
hahahaha LOL:thumbup:That puts it all into perspective
I'm gonna ride with binoculars on
I think it would have gone a little higher but I was already deep into my braking point so I had to shut down. my new target is 160!!!
:Sport:
Heres my way of looking at it:
If we tried hard enough we can outrun the CHP airplanes
The turbine powered helicopters can keep up, but they would overheat in the process on a hot day. The piston powered ones won't even try.
But just remember, you've only got a gas tank so big, and no matter how fast you go, you can't out run a radio.:rant:
ya just don't try to wipe your swing arm down or lube your chain at the same time!!!140-something indicated several times per my tank mounted video camera...I was on the front straight at Road America.
Hopefully you don't kill yourself first! Not trying to be a drag, but there are so many variables on the street no matter how deserted it is....not to mention, going fast in a straight line is boring anyway.
Someone should put their bike on the centerstand and wind it out in 6th...I think it will top out at 160-something indicated.
