First bike you did a Ton on.

For me it was 1974 107 mph on a Mack III Kawasaki on the main Sth road just before you come into Rollestion. Friggin thing could go and you couldn't see because of the blue exhaust fumes everywhere. I remember having a drag race up St Asaph street with a well known hot rod of the day called Moonshine. I won the day but the dude driving the car was the winner cause he had a beautiful piece on eye candy in the passenger seat.

For me it was December 1973 on a Suzuki GT250R (slightly modified). 103 mph indicated, but knowing how inaccurate the speedos were back then, it was probably only in the mid 90s. The same day I rode a Honda CB500 at an indicated 110 mph, so I can probably claim that as a genuine ton.

Can't remember the year about 1965 on an "Ariel Square Four " still remember the dials shaking like a leaf, no helmet and all in those days, a pair of sunnies, jeans and boots. How we survived i don't no

1978 Suzuki GT250 X7, probably had a tail wind though!

[McJim]

Had been riding a VTR250 for a year - couldn't get the bastard over 155kph. Went to a track day at Pukekohe and a good mate forced me to take his 636 track bike (said it needed a run) told everyone I wouldn't be going over 180kph they all said "Tui" got the bike up to about 240kph on the back straight and over 230 on the start/finish straight.

It's windy at that speed....really windy.

About 1987 on an NSR250R Rothmans....Took it for a test drive from a dealer in ashvegas...and opened her up between tinwald and mayfield....took it to 180 and thought SHIT!

[Oakie]

Hasn't happened yet. Not likely to either.

[janno]

Early last year on my first proper bike, 05 SV650.

Whiiiiizzzzz down the Bruce Highway in Brisbane for about 2 minutes!

Main thought - how the hell do people get around corners at that speed.

1973 S2A Kawasaki. Yeah I know I never owned a Kawasaki, but a mate had one, he rings up saying he was having problems in the middle of servicing it, now it wouldn't start. So I go over there and check it over. Somehow (they probably don't make parts like this any more) he had managed to fit the aircleaner element back to front totally blocking the intake to the carbs. Turn it round, kick the bike into life and take it for a rap to clear it out and once the smoke cleared a bit it was off running like a charm so I just had to open it up properly. (Oh on closed roads under controlled condiitons of course).

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

about 198...(ish) cb900...

[slopster]

gsxr 250rr about 5 years ago. First time I'd ever ridden a bike. Rode for about 10minutes to figure out how to change gear then took it out to see how fast it would go. I had a dirt bike helmet with no visor so seeing wasn't that easy either. Not a very good idea but it got me hooked and I ended up buying that bike.

[cold comfort]

1974 in Nelson Kawasaki H2 750 racing a mate in a Jag (at night). He won cos i could'nt keep the front wheel on the deck at that speed. All under controlled conditions again,of course.

[boomer]

you crazy cats...

[texmo]

I did it on a scooter! a 1969 lambretta which is for sale on trademe right now in fact.

most memoriable for me was my first ride of a 'big' bike. Boomers 05 cbr600rr I jumped on it and got to 240 a soon as I could. One of the best times I have had on a bike hahaha
