My corvette easily went faster than that uphill on one occasion when I was more or less testing the replacement of all fuel injectors. I didn’t even realize I was going that fast and when I looked at the speedometer I was actually a little surprised and immediately backed off the accelerator.

That was over 15 years ago, and I know that plenty of current model motorcycles can easily reach much higher velocity.

I had a pal, Doug, who owned a ‘68 Barracuda with a 426 hemi. Four of us had been hanging around the Sunset Strip sneaking a beer or two. On the way back to Orange County Doug had the speedometer pegged at 130 mph. God must have been looking after us that night.
