Wheelies are pretty damn fun, i just don't like doing them on command. I usually do them when no one is around so if I fuck up I can say I low sided in some gravel or some other shit.

Azoomm gave me the best answer but you have to be serious when you say it..

"300 miles an hour."

Got asked yesterday, by my health insurance plan manager. he got my standard rely. 'As fast as it will go'

Who knows. I have seen rev limit in 6th gear on every bike I've owned...

I say the speed limit too. I get annoyed with the question but it's not the worst. I mean, they just don't know and are curious.

Why is it a retarded question?

I still don't see what the big deal is. You ride around on a race replica sportbike that's faster than most Ferrari's then I think "How fast you been on that thing" is a fair question.

quicker, not faster. Most bikes arent geared to reach f-car top speeds

Thanks for clarifying that form me. This is my first year as a motorcyclist, so I'm still trying to learn the basics and stuff.

Which side is the clutch on again?

It's about aerodynamics far more so than gearing. Bikes are aerodynamically dirty.

Anyway, to answer the original question, I usually give em a smirk & a wink and say "sixty fiiiiiive.... but I've done 150+ on the track". I don't really think it's all that retarded of a question.

And if people ask me to wheelie, given that the environment is safe, I have no problem lifting the front wheel for em. It's fun for me & fun for them, so why not?
