"...or drive motorcycles over 160mph ever..."

I never got my Yamaha 650 Heritage Special over 110 mph.
Mostly because back then I weighed about 260 lbs.
(The bike simply wouldn't go any faster.)
This morning the scale said 199. So - whatever.

But I found 110 to be sufficient, though.
I had no real need to go faster on a bike.

Drag racing '70s muscle cars on Front Street
in Philadelphia was a different situation, however.
The big block MOPARs almost always won, by the way.

Yes - in the mid '80s I was young / stupid / crazy.
But I got over it... Survived it too.

I pulled a few unintended wheelies on my KZ1100. More than once at 75+ mph.

I also lost the right front tire at 130MPH (clocked by a cop) in an old 429 powered LTD.

Yeah, we got away with a LOT of stuff when we were young and dumb...

My brother did that as well. he had a 55 chevy rebuilt. not sure the engine. I watched him and his buddy put front springs on the car that took all day. He said you could feel the bump running over a dime.

I rebuilt an old yamaha 650 and had it up around 100. no cowling. Holding on for dear life.
