The Century Mark

So, ahem, on a closed course...THAT's MY STORY!...I cranked open the throttle and all the bike would do in 5th is 110mph and in 6th....no acceleration. Anyone been able to peg out their speedo?....on a closed course of course.

Congrats man! I hope mine lasts that long.

I guess I just need to shut the bike down and do this damn 106 kit. My bike has no *****.

I won't lie, I've buried the needle a few times with my 103". But probably won't do it again since it got a little scary the last time, when I got hit with a wind gust that made the bike feel like it was on ice!

Unless someone's chasing me there's no need for me to go that fast on my bike. When I get the itch to travel over 100 I just go skydiving. 125 mph straight down is quite a thrill, and safer than on a bike.

Be safe out there.

I just buried mine about an hour ago. Took it down a nice long on ramp heading onto the 520 in Redmond. I don't do it very often but my bike does it no problem.
