ok, so, how fast have you been (not on HM highway of course)

[softshoes]

ok, as it seems I may have started summat here, how fast yer all bin then..

me - 145 bike
155 car

obviously under controlled conditions on some random track. :rolleyes: :D

[Womble_Lancs]

119 on the bike (according to GPS), on the IoM. Not bad, considering the book sez it can only do 125.

[baldyshinehead]

bike - 130
car - 150





its a little worrying that we all remember :eek:

[Mental Dave]

hehe, I sneezed in the car at 155 - that was "interestin"..

[Juke]

i di that in me helmet once, an experience i do not wish to repeat.... :eek:

another reason why I opted for trikes........ :D

[devon-tony]

somewhere in the region of 155 ish in a vauxhall corsa, that was very interesting, need all 3 lanes to keep the lil shopping trolley in check LOL

bikes I guess the quickest is whatever a 750SRAD will do flat out, not standard, but the speedo wasnt working when I first picked it up, dodgy connection on the plug, fixed it a couple of days later and scared me self, should have left it disconnected LOL

[Creature]

mmmmmmmmmmmm aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmm

spent my mispent youth trying fo rthe ton outa me rd250 - then passed me test some 20 0dd years ago and have never been over 80mph since ...

[scouselee]

[devon-tony]

LOL you reminded me of my mates reliant kitten, bright yellow, carbon spoiler on the roof,a lloys etc, makes a bit of a noise

was at brooklands in kent and some local boyracers thought they would take the piss out of it, sadly none of them had a good engouh look to see the fully rosejointed and coilovered suspension setup, or realised that its got a cosworth lump, well breathed on and running 75bhp of gas LOL

that thing is rapid, but drive over a coin and you can tell if its heads or tails

Fastest on a bike was pillion on a T595 at indicated 175
Riding myself was my wee 750M out the other week when it 'did the clock' which is 160.

scariest of the lot was in an ancient Hillman Minx that I got for £75 off some geezer back in the 80's-it was ok at 75 but hit 76 and it started shaking so much I bounced all over the front bench seat and for the first time ever really wished I'd put the seatbelt on :eek:

I suppose i could photoshop you a speedo :) :) do you KPH or MPH

Yoda

[dracken1]

nah psp won't be the same. but we have a road with a 1 in 10 incline here. jonny might know it, it goes from borth to clarach to aber.so you control the chair i'll stand on the back and take the pics.

ok there is a slight drop on the left of about 200 feet, but wheres the fun without a touch of danger. :eek:

[Urban Terrorist]

There was a time before the rat's Nik, in a distant time when R1's weren't around and i had long hair and shiny bikes :D

[Zeek]

Wots a speedo then ???? :D

[Grav]

I refuse to believe that until you post photographic evidence. :D

Both! The Speed Triple doesn't count cos it wasn't yours. :D

[Urban Terrorist]

Both! The Speed Triple doesn't count cos it wasn't yours. :DWell i only have one pic of me with long hair, AND with my mint ZXR750 :D

But!! I know if I posted that pic on here, it would be used against me in the future, so you'll never know :D

[Grav]

Damn! I wanted to point and laugh. :D

[STEViE]

Who would do such a thing? You sir, are castin' nesturtions upon the good willed folks of this forum :rolleyes:

I think he's worried about Nik putting it in the Mag and ruining his street cred. :D

[STEViE]

Yep i have loads!! And it is'nt nikI worry about, it's a certain other person, who might blow it up into a large poster and pass it on to certain people in my area :( :( :D

[minxy]

I just cant see it. UT with long, flowing locks, a spanky plastic kwak and a one piece.

Naaaah.

[SatinBlack]

Much scarier on the dirt/sand i was clocked at over ninety (by a real nutter on a homemade GPZ 900 dirt bike with a speedo who went past me!) down the straight at the weston beach race on a CR450R Elsinore a truly mean motocrosser that handled like crap but had so much explosive 2 stroke power it only had a 4 speed box which it would regularly destroy, on the road 150 ish on a R1.

That reminds me of me riding down the hill in Ramsey, on the back of Stef's wheelchair. Crossing over the train lines was, erm, interesting, but the method of stopping was fun - straight into the kerb, catapulting us both onto the pavement :cool:

[Bosun]

never really had fast bikes so about 115 just to do it

borrowing my dads cosworth granada 155 with ooodles more to go, felt like 70 then got worried

[Urban Terrorist]

To be honest, I prefer sticking to 70 these days than going for the land speed record all the time :)

I still thrash it but like tonight, i'll take a nice slow ride up the Ace, stick to about 80 all the way :D

[softshoes]

Scooter 82mph


nutter!.... had a go on a vespa once, scared the life out of me..

[Dougie]

Reckon it was about 105 actual,it was a mini speedo.However,it was spot on at 85,the Fife Constabulary confirmed that....... :eek: :mad:

[krammer]

not impressed by warp speeds but i do enjoy wheel spinning away from traffic lights.

[addjunkie]

Bike - only 110 but it was in 1975 - Bonnie 750 - god i wish i had that bike now..


I got a njice 77 one of them you can buy if you like.

I have broke the limit a touch scared me, but did 200 vertically downwards now that was fun....

[Grav]

I wasn't going to admit this......but what the hell, everyone else has admitted theirs.

184 mph on a tuned ZZR 1100.

On my current bike, Z 750, I tend to keep to around 85-90 on the motorways cos I managed to melt on of the cams on a previous engine at 115 on the M6. Which was nice........

warp 7 between the crab nebula and the maypole roundabout on my Cunnilingus 500 way back in the day ;)


however the old adage," the older i get , the faster i was " is very true :cool:

[pagan_flame]

Slingshot's drummer, one fine summer's evening at the turn of the century as we were out for a ride, let me on his Thunderace and urged me to 'see what she'll do'.

This was in Newmarket... now there's a dead long straight coming out of Newmarket heading towards the M11 with a roundabout at the end with a chuffin' great horse on it.

Being summer and just cruising around, I had on an open face trials lid - complete with peak and goggles.

So. Went for it - was determined to finally crack the one-six-oh - and as I was approaching the roundabout at 158 - the peak on the helmet, due to the wind pressure, folded neatly in half in front of my eyes... :eek: :eek: :eek:

After sitting up and braking sharply... the peak promptly went in the ditch - and I got back on my bike and went off home for some clean underwear!

Also - it's probably a good idea I no longer havethe R & R Limo II - being a V6 Mondeo estate, it was good for 135 when upsetting BMW owners - however the handling did get a bit bouncy at that speed... wife's MR2 is much more at home at 140!!!

[Friar Tuck]

Erm!

When I had a K100RS in the days when I ran a courier service, I had to do a "blood run" from Kettering General to the John Radcliffe in Oxford with a Heart for a transplant. because of the urgency I had to have two police escorts on Pan Europeans. I tell you, those cops can bloody ride! One went a head and stopped the traffic, and the other acted as outrider. we went through northampton at about 50-60mph, without stopping! And on the A43 we were doing at least a ton, and down the M40 we hit 140 mph!

I have never had an adrenalin rush like it! took us about an hour and ten mins!

The surgeons etc were waiting for us at the JR, and near enough ripped the box off me before I even had time to stop! that was in 1993. I wonder if the recipient of the heart is still alive today? I understood from the JR that the op was a success.

The cops wouldn't give me an escort back, and said that if they caught me speeding on the way back they'd nick me! Bastards! they were top blokes really, we a had a cup of tea in the hospital canteen. they loved riding the bikes and these escort duties were quite rare, so they enjoyed the run down too! apparently they were quite impressed by my riding style!!

On the Fazer I'll admit to 128mph, on the A34.

and once when I worked for Cosworth, i had to borrow an Aston Martin from the garage, that had the test engine in it for the Vanquish. I was sort of cruising doqn a fairly empty M20 going to kent Cams to pick up some cams(!) and I just happen to glance at the speedo as I thought that the bridges were coming up a bit quick. I was doing 145 mph and it wasn't even pushing it! Plenty left to go! I eased back a bit then!

[contail]

164 on my gsxr11 slingy.
on my gsxr11 hardtail just managed to beat a merc slr who tried to race me. dont know how fast as i keep forgeting to put speedo on. :D

[Nik]

This was in Newmarket... now there's a dead long straight coming out of Newmarket heading towards the M11 with a roundabout at the end with a chuffin' great horse on it.

That road, through Six Mile Bottom up to Newmarket, is, allegedly, where they used to speed-test Vincents back in the '40s and '50s. :)

[critch]

LOL you reminded me of my mates reliant kitten, bright yellow, carbon spoiler on the roof,a lloys etc, makes a bit of a noise

was at brooklands in kent and some local boyracers thought they would take the piss out of it, sadly none of them had a good engouh look to see the fully rosejointed and coilovered suspension setup, or realised that its got a cosworth lump, well breathed on and running 75bhp of gas LOL
