Believe it or not many folks never see 100 mph in their life time on rubber tires, what's the fastest you been on Earth and what was it?
I bought a new ElCamino in 73 for $4200.00, 454 4speed, some years later put a 427 435 hp Vette motor in it, had a 323 gear. The calculated top end I did was 145 mph, 7 grand in high gear, did that quite easy.
Had Two Honda Blackbirds some years back, they was the first 200 mph bike sold in the U.S. came out in 1997 soon followed by the Busa. I changed the whole exhaust system on it and loved top end with my pals here. It was very hard to focus on the digital speedometer laying down on the tank behind the windscreen running 6th gear at the redline. One time I did focus and it was scary taking my eye's off the road for the few seconds it took to see it.........
What's the fastest you been and did you need a new pair of britches after?...........
