Never done over 149
“Never done over 149”
147 here. On a pussycat 750 Katana, racing a guy on a V-Max up 95N in FL about 1am Sunday night. He should have cooked me, and was, but he was wearing a full cut military jacket (it was cold, for FL anyway) that turned into a vertical balloon around 120. Like dragging a chute lol.
I redlined it, glanced at the spedo, saw 145 and stained my shorts.
Let go of the throttle. I remember 105 looking like slow as the speed melted off.
Hard to explain the sheer rush and crazy intense focus and thrill it brings, while seeming to go slow, like time slows way down. It’s not for everyone lol, but yeah, I’ve always had the need for speed. Most people don’t have the focus and trusted reflexes intense desire and sheer balsy dumbassery to try, fortunately.
But if you know, you know.
