I only once had any notion of going over a hundred. I was driving over a longish bridge in Panama City FL on a Yamaha XJ650 30 years ago (no other traffic) and there was a Navy Ground Effects Vehicle on the water going parallel to the bridge. The Navy had admitted to a top speed for those things “in excess of 70 mph.” I wondered how excessive that might be. I reached about 105 and the damned thing was still pulling away when I ran out of bridge and slowed back down.
