[/quote] For a laugh, what's the fastest anyone's been on a public road?
140+ when I last dared to look at the speedo, and still pulling hard, on my 955i Speed Triple. But there's no wind protection and I was being battered senseless by turbulance off my flyscreen,
Did it a couple of times on the A31, between Alton and Farnham, which isn't the smoothest road, or the straightest (Bars waggling at 125 in a bend is fun) and I had a lovely friendly 'joust' with a chap in a Masarati – I could pull out a fair lead off the roundabouts but he reeled me in above a ton, then it was brake hard for the next roundabout, chuck it in and away we go again. We exchanged friendly waves as I pulled off. God I miss having power like that…..
(PS – Yeah yeah, stupid, immoral, dangerous, blah blah. Would I do it again? Damn right I would)
