I Have Been Over 100 Mph

No Big Deal... -

I've lived in Germany for many years. The German Autobahn in many places has no speed limit. The recommended speed is 140 km/h (87 Mph) but the majority drive 160 km/h (100 Mph) but there are also those who'll get up to 250 km/h (155 Mph) and beyond.

I myself keep it between 170 km/h - 200 km/h (105 Mph - 124 Mph) of course only when traffic conditions allow.

I have a much harder time when I'm in the U.S. - all that space and having to keep it below 75 Mph.

The fastest I've gone was 270 km/h (167 Mph) on the back of a Yamaha R1. It was quite a rush although I was a little upset with my friend since I hadn't been on the back of a motorcycle in a long time and he went that fast 5 min after I got on.

Recently I had my first ride ever on a motorcycle on the back of an r1 of a good friend. He started riding 160 mph within very short time and did extreme accelerations and sharp turns. I really loved it and now I am looking for other fast rides on the back of sportbikes.

Me too. Bought my corvette there! (78 Silver anniversary Edition) It would only do 167 mph, flat out. Cruising at 130 mph one sunny day, my very petite (95 lbs) Korean wife decided to have a smoke, lit it up, and then cracked the window open. The rushing wind grabbed her beautiful long hair and tried to suck her out of her seat!!! I started laughing so damned hard that I almost lost control of the car! Took a few moments to pull over safely to laugh. She was hitting me and going on in Korean (which I didn't understand yet) but I just couldn't stop! Remember it well to this day!

Funny thing is, her old 6 cylinder Mercedes was 3-4 mph FASTER than my 'vette! Now, understand, this engine was really decked out, and it barely made a corner, but it would run!!! - Katt
