Very strange.&nbsp\\; One minute I'm reading a thread about 105 mph top speed on a Street Bob, then it is closed to comments, and then it is gone.&nbsp\\; Made me wonder, so I looked up the accident statistics for motorcycles.&nbsp\\; Based on the 4,778 fatalities in 2006, I quote "The median pre-crash speed was 29.8 mph and the median crash speed was 21.5 mph, and the one-in-a-thousand crash speed is approximately 86 mph".&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;A disproportionate number of accidents occur in intersections.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Also at night.&nbsp\\; By the way, over 700 of those fatalities would have been avoided if the rider was wearing a helmet.&nbsp\\; My point is, why cut off a fun conversation like top speed.&nbsp\\; You wouldn't cut off a thread that stated "I rode through an intersection yesterday, or I rode in the dark, or I rode without a helmet".&nbsp\\; All three are more dangerous than an occasional run up to 100mph on a deserted road.

Hmmm..&nbsp\\; I used to see threads on top speeds in the past, it must be against the RULES now.&nbsp\\; BTW 105 is not the top speed.&nbsp\\;

I didn't even get a chance to see it... [:@]

I dont know what my Fat Bob top end is, I have had it to 125 with me and the old lady sitting straight up, I figure on a good strech of road if I lay on the tank I should be able to get close to a buck fifty

The top speed of an '01 Ultra with a 124' Zipper built TC and Baker 6 spd is ***mph.
Damm, censors got me, too. [:@]&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;[:@]&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;[:@]
OKAY, it is over 29.8 mph, there, howz that PC police? &nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\ ;
H*ll, I think one of those Rascals at Wal-mart will go that fast, (or s...l...o...w)
The top speed of a panhead chopper is faster than the top speed of my butt or back, so 75 will do.

If you really want to know, why don't you ask the administrator who did it and why?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Bitching about it here isn't necessarily going to get you the answer quicky, at least without stirring up some ****.&nbsp\\; BTW, it's only the government that's not allowed to censor, and that's limited to censorship of the press and speech with regard to criticism of the government.&nbsp\\; Individuals and private (non-government) organizations are free to censor whatever they wish in their own sandboxes.&nbsp\\; It's the way it is, and I can live with it.
