RE: 100 miles per hour
had to go to bad driver school yesterday the instructor made it apoint to say anybody who would travel in excess of the posted speed (me 91mph) was a disgrace and should not be alowed to drive /ride also told me I would be back. well this was not my first rodeo so I had to agree but at my age 66 I really don't care I enjoy going fast and yes I have had mine up to 110/115 many times not my normal speed 80/90 but enjoy speed... sorry softail rider hijacking thread...

RE: 100 miles per hour
I had to go to bad driver school myself. I was even pulled over by a Leo on a Harley that sucks. He let every car go and gets me. He then gave me a lecture on how many bikers have been lost this year. I was probably 20 years his senior. I was very polite and he gave me a break on the overage, one more mile and it would have been expensive.

RE: 100 miles per hour
I have to log off now, and I couldn't do it with that lie I told above.
I'm one of the few that have a radar detector on my Dyna - why? - because I keep getting speeding tickets.
I am "red line in all gears all the time" and I know it is a bad thing, but it feels so good.
I lost a du-rag yesterday on I-45 South doing about 85. I stopped in a indy shop to buy a new one and told the lady that I lost it doing 85. She said "what were you doing 85 for?" My answer was "that's all I could do because there was traffic slowing me down".

RE: 100 miles per hour
Wow..here in TX i might cruise in the open at about 75-80. Above that and it is a battle to hold onto the bars. Almost have to lay on the tank to stay on comfortably above 80 mph. 120?...not fun on a dyna. I enjoy the bike, and my life,too much to go that fast. Just me I guess.
