Yep that is good Madgoat. Think about it, how many times have you had your car up to 90mph? That's plenty fast enough.

I bet the checkerboard vans helped you in the speed department seeing that it is like a checkerboard finish flag and all. I'm gonna try and wear some this weekend on our March of Dimes ride and see if i can get up to 200mph. [sm=biker.gif]

RE: 883 Speed?

My tires are black though and that should be all that matters as they are the ones spinning and hitting the pavement stirring up lightning and thunder as they go.
