"Whats The Fastest You've Been on that Thing?" - Page 6

I really don't know my top speed. I stopped looking down when I saw 165 blinking by on the speedo. I do know I let off the throttle about the same time the telephone poles started looking like a picket fence.

If someone asks me I just say I don't know, I do know that it does 76mph in 1st gear though.

The wheelie comments are lame, and asking me if you can ride my bike is damn hilarious.

Which side is the clutch on again?

your right foot. Make sure you stomp really hard when you change up

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?

I get gas mileage comments/questions more than anything. Or when I rode in 20degree weather people calling me crazy.

When I do get asked I just say "fast enough".

When my friends or other motorcycle people I know ask I tell them 155spedo (which is probaby 70mph on my bike).

Especially if they find out you race, then the first question is always how fast do you go.

Dummies.

Dummies? Isn't the whole entire point of racing to go fast? Again, seems like a perfectly legitimate question.

You guys are dicks.

The front straight is where you take your nap at triple digit speeds, think about the turns coming up and where you think you can get the guy you're chasing...

a late brake deep into the turn, a 50 degree lean angle at 60mph, and a great drive out... that's the good part.
