My husband hit 105 with me on the back of his '08 Wide Glide shortly after he got it. Me, I have a hard time hitting the speed limit!

Mine is dead on even at 120+, measured against my GPS.

Cheers!

Can you imagine what your face looks like at a 100 mph without a windshield. Well I tell yaa, it hurts like hell. Don't ask me how I know, I just do.

Although I've come close to the "hunert" barrier a fair number of times I've only broken it twice. Once about 30 years ago on a Honda CB900C Custom and last week on my Street Bob. It's out of my system and I'll have no need to do it again for at least another 30 years if I keep to the pattern. OK, so I'm 63 now. Next time I'll be 93 and will expect a badass trophy of some kind... or oxygen and a transfusion.

Just sayin'

My GPS reads that I got my '05 RK to 113 - not sure I remember exactly where, I probably had my eyes closed out of fear.

103 just to say that I did it, still something left and someday I'm gonna find out what. Pretty solid.
