100 is nice and all but the REAL question is......can you do 200?

I've had my FXD up to about 90 or so, tops.....Ridden my Ninja at 145 but I think the speedo was a bit ahead of itself, though THATS a rush...the ULTIMATE stress relief...you got your heart beating so loud you can hear it!...ahh the vigors of youth...

I bought my FatBoy cause it reminds me of me...

Low, slow, fat and loud. I like riddin low - slow and loud all day long. I'm lucky if I see 75. Hell, I got no where I need to be that soon any way and if I do - it can wait if it is that important; right? Diffrent strokes - eh?!

My 06 Wide Glide goes to 100 with a twist of the wrist. I have to go over 80-90, just to get away from the cagers crowding each other in the early AM. It's nothing to the bike. I however feel the freedom best at 70.

My '05 FXD will break a hundred pretty easy, even with my HD Touring Mufflers on. With my punched out shorties it'll do it in a walk.


I won't own a bike that can't break the ton.

105 several times with my sweety on the back-no sweat. '02 FLHT carb stage one. Oh, and 166 on my old R1 and still pulling...I ran out of nerve before the bike ran out of juice. 200 plus 1/4 on a street Honda?? I'd like to see that one. The new ZX14 is pulling 9 sec
1/4's in the 150 range, but there is a BIG difference in just 50mph. Sounds more like some Top Fuel Bench Racin' to me!

I had my 06 35th glide up to a hair under 120 indicated. Nice tail wind to help things along. Bike was rock solid.

The look on the faces of the Sport bike guys I was riding with was priceless.
