But there are bikes you can buy that will get you to 190 right out of the factory. With a little tweaking nitrous and exhaust . . . .

I know the numbers say you can do it, but you look at the land speed records and it becomes pretty clear that the number of people who can go 150+ and live to tell the tale is a small elite group. I never spilled either of my bikes and while I enjoyed riding them immensely I know my number was going to coming up very soon.

Personally I think the only safe way to ride is in a pack. You give yourself a lot more presence. The sad truth is most folks in cars simply do not respect or most times even know you are there. That makes commuting (which was I was doing) problematic as it is hard to find other riders going to work.

170+ may be elite but 150 is not. There are too many fast bikes and too many dumbass bulletproof kids. As far as the land speed records I have to do more research on those. I don't know what all the acronyms mean. I do know that the interstate loop around this city sees people going 140+ on a weekly basis. My officer friends don't even chase them
