i think if you hit the deck at 130 - 150 i think you would be okay providing you dont hit anything else, definatly battered and bruised possibly broken, but youd be okay, @ 200+ well thats a 50-50 there, its all in the fall in my opinion.

The difference is obvious. How fast you're "rogered."

Personally, get it over as quick as. Give me the speed any day! If I'm going out, I'd rather it take seconds than fight to stay for hours.

69.5 mph - your honour.

Never done more than 120 on a bike.
It was fear of loosing my licence that slowed me down then, so I honestly dont know.

Voted 130 - 150

I like to push myself in increments.
Current personal land speed record is 138MPH so I'd say the 150-170 option next but with a view to hitting 300-400 some time after that lol
