knew a bloke from UK, said he took his car to 100mph everyday, somewhere, somehow,
he taken racing lessons, and ran the 'ring, and was very competent (we did SCCA with him)

here is a good thread on taking your bike up to 100, have you guys done this just to check for wobbles/weirdness?

why, or why not?

 

Maybe once a twice a season just for kicks, but I'm getting too old to eat pavement at 100MPH.
I also like the idea of keeping my driving privileges.
When I was younger is was a much different story, had no fear of speed or crashing at all.
Maybe common sense has taken over in my older years.

 

When I was younger would do it almost daily But I had a bike that did it easy. The problem with Harleys is how long they take to get there. Its different when you get to 100 when jut passing a car, and can slow right back down. With a Harley you are exposed for a long time.

 

 

August, 2000. Flat road in S.D so I thought I'd see what my Ultra would do. Top speed was 106 and I have no plans to ever do that again on two wheels.
Recently, I found myself doing 90MPH just keeping up with traffic!
My favorite "cruise speed" is usually 75-77 MPH on the freeway and 60-65 on nice two-lane roads under perfect conditions.

Too old now to start crashing and getting speeding tickets!

 

I used to do it fairly often, but since I put the sidecar on my '16, I've only had it up to about 90, still felt nice and steady and still pulling pretty well in 5th. Not sure I want to take the sidecar rig to 100 though. But I probably will one of these days.

 

Never. Much prefer to check out the scenery and enjoy the sights.

 

That's pretty much me with any bike. Don't care to keep my tach pegged for very long.

 

I I'd it a few times a year just for ***** and giggles. I normally set the cruise at 75 and forget about it

 

Never. Got no need to prove my manhood.
