Whoo....i'm trembling right now...

I just got back from driving the bike, and i had it the fastest i've ever gone on it so far. Im still shaking from the adrenaline rush. We were and I-4 and decided to wind em out a little bit, I got up to 145mph. I think my bike can make it up to 180, but i havent tried.........yet. btw, its a Honda CBR929.

On a side note, some douche in a new Honda Accord V-6 pulls up next to us at the light, rolls down his window, and says "I've got 250 HP, and I can beat you". I just looked at him in disbelief. Whatever he's smoking, i need to get some. Then he actually tried racing us. Idiot. Of course it was no contest, but what was he thinking

Be careful and make sure it's a clear path for you (no traffic).

It definately helps if you're familiar with the road too.

yea i know. there wasnt really too much traffic, and the road is freshly repaved about a month ago, so its nice and flat, and no turns. We only hit it from one exit to the next one, then we got off. I woulda hated to see some cops radio ahead about 2 bikes flyin at close to 150mph!

@ storm pringles

The only way the cops can catch you is if they read your plate or have aerial jet support.

Was doing 130-140 on bikes in the late 1960's, and believe me they were not as safe back then! I do not think I am dead yet.

imagine, when you looked down at ur speedometer for just 1 second to check the 180 mark, you've already traveled 264 ft. from the time your eyes glanced down and back up to the road... nuts huh?

ive only gone 130 on my f4i...i think it tops out at 178 or sumthin...

you fucking morons are exactly why highway patrol continues to have to shovel dead mangled corpses off the highways. way to use your brain 140-150-180 mph on a bike, what does that do for you? do you have an orgasm? is it really worth risking your life? and the life of other people? i cant stand idiot biker boys, fucking lame, and stupid.

id suggest start using your brain before the buzzards are picking at your brain fragments cooking on the side of the freeway after your showboating gets you killed.


grow up. show respect for yourself and everyone else.

My sister just lost a good friend on one of these bikes. They're badass bikes, but dangerous as hell... no matter how good of a driver you think you are.

If you're going to be going that fast at least make sure you've got the standard helmet/boots/leathers/gloves etc. It takes a whole lot of skin to slow you down from that speed.

I have wanted a bike for a long time, but the margin for error is drastically reduced on two wheels. I'm just not ready for one yet.

I love Jim’s posts. (Well, most of them anyway)
He doesn’t hold back, he just lays it on the table and speaks his mind.
Think about what he said here. It’s all completely true.
