buildit Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Drag strip-I suppose I'll spill some beans on a section of road most suited for the guy/gal who wants to top their bike out but doesn't want to afford a track day. It's called Finely Guy rd and is just outside Rosedale. It's 1.8miles, flat as Kansas, has not a single driveway or connector rd, has corn on either side blocking anyone from seeing you from side roads and the other end is visable to see if oncoming traffic is present. This section runs between rt38 and Rosedale Millford Center rd. Condition of the surface is slightly off but good enough to reach 140's on a V-max. Biggest issue is birds, I've caught one or two that were a little slow moving with my helmet. Nothing like a few feathers in your cap!

20thGix Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I have come close to maxing out my bike(GPS@162). Now i keep it under 100. I no longer feel the need to do that again on public roads. I would like to get up to Mid-Ohio and do a track day and really push my limits without traffic and road debris. Now i just ride at a somewhat brisk pace that is safe for me and the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 On certain roads I'll pin it, but it's not regular occasion at all...I used to run Canal at about 100, but with the bicycles now I don't go much over 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 All riders wanna see top speed at least once it seems. I don't have that need anymore but I understand it and would rather they did it on a safer road than down I70 during rush hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the shoulder is for!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
