Default RE: Hit 101mph on the Road Glide

I have also ridden a friends GSXR1000, when I hit third gear the front tire came off the ground, when I looked down I was doing 138 mph. I look at it like this, going fast, the adrenaline rush anyways, is like riding a roller coaster at the park, they are fun to get on and ride for about 2 minutes, then it is time to get off and enjoy the rest of the scenery.

Default RE: Hit 101mph on the Road Glide

A few years ago the wife and I pulled out of Sturigs on our way home....decided to head west on the interstate to Sundance, then back south. Riding 2-up on a stock 02 Dyna pulling over 300 lbs in a Bushtec trailer cruising at 105 for a short distance....still had some left. Had my stock 08 Ultra up to 105 with room for more....haven't checked it out with the stage-1 done yet, although I have no real desire to take it much faster than that....I do like the fact that it will get up to 100 in very short order. I don't ride real fast real often, but do like to test it once in awhile.

I thought I saw where Harley has the ECM record your top speed so that they can say that you abused the engine and void your warranty.
Doesn't matter if the ECM records your top speed, if you could get your stock 07-08 twin cam up to 5k in 6th, you'd be traveling 133mph YIKES! How is that abusing your motor? says right in the owners manual that 5k is fine for break in after first 50 miles.....
