Officially, just enough to earn me 20 demerit points and a $120 fine yesterday... :-((((

Who cares..........straight roads are like watching a fat fucker set a record for eating hamburgers.

WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fastest i seen on my not stock zzr 11 was 320 km on the motorway heading home from Brighton with the missus on the back , shut the throttle as soon as i hit the max....just wanted to see how it felt even though it lasted just a few seconds

[naphazoline]

150-160mph.06 blade.
i hit a bit of a bump at this speed,and slid back on the seat.otherwise i might have kept going.

must say,it makes me laugh to hear people say,"these speeds should only be done on track".
maybe that's true,but then why the hell do they ride the likes of 'busa's,or gsxr1000's on the road then?????

if they're trying to say they don't break the speed limits,then why do they need to upgrade from their 250's???? a lot of those can break the legal limits.

Eh? standing quarter at 206?
I do low 11's on the TL and go through the traps at about 197!?

Oops.
I missed out a word.
Thats the flying quarter average speed and the standing quarter ET.

While I was drunk, tripping on P I was doing 300ks in a built up school area at 3 o'clock on a tuesday afternoon.

[hospitalfood]

on the current bike, 217 / 218 km/h ish, once, just to see what the result would be when the rev limiter kicked in at 6800 rpm.
i was of course drunk, it was of course a round about.

since then never been close ( well almost never ).

[rwh]

187 MPH on the Britten @ the TT in theory Only! Rpm reached, gearing used etc

The Britten never had a tacho, did it? Was that on the limiter? Or is that from telemetry/recording stuff?

All my knowledge of the Britten comes from the Tim Hanna book - are there other good books or other sources for more info?

"Other good books", implies the one you have read was good...It wasn't! Piss poorly written, and way too much about the author himself. In a word, boring.

Gonna buy you a beer when you're here next (after your ride on a FAST bike haha)

If you say so ...

There's no real challenge in getting big bikes up to speed.

However I have fond memories of getting a TU250 up to an indicated 145km/h on the long downhill into Albany. Engine screaming, valves floating ...
