Speed test

First topic message reminder :

I will try the top speed on my Cat. this week someday.
i found good road next to motoway and noone drive there road is nice so...
did you try top speed? change my mind

Well I must say is that my faith in motorcycle forums has been restored by the replys to this post and I agree with all the replys. The only thing I'll add is that all bikes 600cc and above will exceed 130mph plus but as for the rider, very few have the skill to, and thats the BIG, BIG PROBLEM !!(and no, I do'nt have the skills for that type of speeds)

i just want to feel high speed on a motorbike

But there's a time and place Tom, and a public highway isnt either.

People like you give bikers a bad name but people like you also keep me in a job.

I'd happily spend hours picking gravel out of your flesh while you scream but I'm sure you'd rather I didn't.

One of the traffic insps we used to have used to say that Lincs Force had an unofficial RTC code they used for certain RTCs they used to use ROOT which stood for Ran Out Of Talent - he's a biker too!

I remember that and a few more 'terms' that were used in the emergency services, FUBAR (fooked up beyond all recognition) & FUBAR BUNDY (fooked up beyond all recognition but unfortunately not dead yet ) and NFL (normal for Lincolnshire). This was from a time pre-political correctness tho!

Lol all good and unfortunately well used. Talking of speed tests I'm now booked on a Speed Awareness Course - caught doing 36 in a 30 could've kicked myself I thought I was in a 40

You want to take Tom with you?

May i be the first to say poor obs Suzi.....

Davie: run's and hide's

A trackday is definitely the place for fun Tom, I had an indicated 158ish on mine but was more than likely nearer 140 in reality.
Even minimizing the risks I was still riding with two fingers over the clutch lever in anticipation of a mechanical failure, Saying that I doubt my reactions would be fast enough to stop a disaster

i will wait for other time for track if anybode go for it i can join

i do remember having to discover the upper speed setting for my fazer on Tol !!!! 2010 while i hearded the lost sheep up,, eh ross !
