Agreed, Mark7 and Newbie. I've had mine up to 110mph, with saddlebags and windshield, but honestly, there's really no good reason to do it, and there's no chance of recovery, at that speed. If you have a blow-out, a transmission lockout, or hit a road hazard, you're dead. They'll have to scrape up what's left of you with a spatula and a Dixie straw.

I do love cagers who think they're going to race me, though... A twist of the wrist, and they get left in the dust. Simple pleasures. LOL

I've told the story before, but I was in the left-hand lane on a four-lane road, and there was a white car that kept trying to edge up on my right. Ahead of us, the road narrowed to two lanes, so I gave it a little throttle to keep the jerk from passing me and then cutting me off. The speed limit was 30 mph, and where it changed to two lanes, the speed limit increased to 45. He accelerated, still trying pass, so I poured the coals to 'er. This went on for about three "rallies."

Turns out, it was the city police lieutenant in an unmarked car, and by the time he pulled me over, we were doing 55 (probably more like 60) in 30 mph zone. He let me go with a verbal warning.

Sometimes, ya' just get lucky...
