The bike I've had to 170, the current bike an indicated 160.
thats balls

i seriously wouldnt be able to do that :thumbup:


i was up in canada for a week once and i topped my teg out. it pretty much stopped at 135. but in a situation like that, you have to take wind into account, since a 5mph headwind will drop your speed by 5mph.

Not really much to brag about; doesn't take skill.

I rarely go that fast onthe bike, I'd rather spend my time on a one lane thrashed road, going 40mph and having to fight the bike every inch of it....
that's much more fun, to me.

So the cop was actually racing you? That doesn't sound right. No one is above the law, even for an "undercover cop".

I have talked to my friends and some of them were victims of the same guy. He is starting racing with you and a few minutes later you see cop behind you and next thing you know that there is your car on the sholder, followed by cop and integra. Cop takes your papers, then takes report from Integra guy and then you sing the full statement of what happened and a ticket or warning.

Now for couple days in the row I was lucky by getting lost in the traffic, but then on Fri, when there was not that much of traffic they got me.

So whatch out, guys.
I talked to my friend detective and she told me that these guys are getting payed for driving and distracting other people to race and that's how police is improving in their job by catching wrekless drivers.

I wouldn't be totally surprised if this is true. The police here have gotten much more stealth in the past 2 years. I was on highway 16 coming back from Gig Harbour and I had an unmarked explorer box me in just as a cop came up behind me. He pulled over in front of me, then left when the cop got my papers.

Have you seen a white Volvo patroling I-5 in area of Tacoma and somethimes Seattle, and Green Suburban right off I-405 going south on 167?
