When you think about it, 180MPH is 3 miles every minute.... That's the equivilent of traveling 30 miles in 10 minutes. Unless you are on something like an Autobhan with hardly any traffic you can't hold this speed for long and it's especially dangerous if there is a group of you... I know many of us like the "speed" thrill (me for one) but I can't think of anyrhere on the UK roads where you could hold 120 plus for more than a few minutes because our roads are so busy and have crap surfaces. If you really want to experience fast road riding, look towards the open and empty roads in Europe "Appropriate speed" is a bloody good phrase.... . |

Hey,
I've gone 226 kph (140 mph) down a hill, wind at my back, on my SV last summer. I have never rode that fast again. I do get it up to see 200 sometimes. I don't do it very often... Just enough to get a monthly fix... ![]() ![]() Mitch |

I like working out distances as I ride along in France/Germany. I always like that kilometre distances go down so much quicker! |
