Fonzie Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Can someone please describe what 150 feels like? Hypothetically speaking of course.....150+ for me.... Things start blurring & I start "seeing" in "snapshots" rather than "streaming video"I also start having random thoughts like "what if the front wheel came off?" or "What if a deer ran out in front of me?"I think it's hypothetically been about a year & half for me though The longer I have 'Birdy.... The less I get that "stupid" urge anymore Edited April 18, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 If I passed a cop at that speed I'd go over a hill or around a turn, do a quick stop, hear the sirens and start flying the other direction. Then take as many detours as possible for a while. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 ^ +1. i definitely wouldnt be stopping. shoulda gave him a 15 over ticket in thanks for stopping....You would think he would lessen it a little bit or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 now had he not stopped surely the trooper knew he wouldnt catch him since highway patrol cars top out at 130 to 140 max mph. a smart man wouldnt have attempted that speed and a broke man would have never slowed down or stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I wouldn't know first hand or anything like that, but my former Katana was rumored to have gone 156 Its a rumor for sure, it a katana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't out run the radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 havent gone that fast on a bike since my bike isnt capable of going over 140, but ive done faster in a car....no matter how much you say its not dangerous, it really is....at that speed, by the time you see anything that might be in your path, you have NO time to react before youre over it...any foreign object laying in the road could mean death for you, sustained speed or notnot saying i dont hit high speeds often, just saying that to pretend like it isnt dangerous is a wrong assessment1999 I went 155mph in a Cobra and it was the scariest thing EVER! Anything over 90mph in a car is scary shit to me. Cars are sooo unstable at high speeds in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrocket04 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 What did you guys theoretically hit yesterday? I theoretically hit the low triple digits on a long straight stretch, just to see if my bike could do it. I got scared right at 56 mph and backed off, though.

alienpi Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 The bike speedo...I wouldn't call that stupid fast. Yeah 150s are pretty standard. I'd love to get a street-legal bike that'd go around 250 mph. That'd be perfect for making that commute to work a few minutes shorter. http://wildbrosracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
