Hit 101mph on the Road Glide
Not bad stock 08 road glide 101mph acording to the gps about 108 110 on the speedo.
Sad part was when my father blew past me on the 08 Goldwing..... I had about a 6 bike lead on him when I decided to pass and haul ***, he saw me take off and hit his and about 3 sec after I let off he passed me like I was standing still[:@]
He said he had 120 on his speeddo and it was still pulling strong, I have to admit the RG was working to get over the 100 hump it still has some pull but no doubt even if I had not backed off the wing would have still ate my lunch!
On the up side we rode about 1000 miles this weekend and the bike was getting around 48mpg in the hill country.

the MOST youll get out of a stock touring bike is 105.

1. It isn't stock
2. I won't go that fast.

RE: Hit 101mph on the Road Glide
Done 100 twice. Once on '01 Road King & then on '04 Electra Glide Classic. This was on I-20 east bound between Conyers and Augusta, GA. Stuff whizzing by pretty quick and if a bird had flown into me, I'd probably bounced half a mile if I lost control.
Those are only 2 times I have gone that fast on a bike and the last times I will.
