    Damn, must feel fast on a bike... feels fast in my lil' car!

    Be careful though, I'd still rather have a smack in my car than a bike!

    38MPH on the road on a mountain bike feels very vunerable

    I only ever got up to 95 on my TZR... (it's legal over here btw before anyone gets the flamethrower out) but I stopped those shenanigans after a gust of wind nearly blew me off the mountain...

    i hadn't meant to... not ridden on the roads since passing my DA in July, even then I topped out at 70ish on the way back on the A1...

    but on the airfield, '99 R6... it was too easy - on the way out I was just taking it easy, not going much above 4-5k (which was plenty, it redlines at... 15500!!!) and looked down to see 84 (nice digital readout too)... so I though, WTF, give it some beans on the return run, tuck in, w'hey... 100!!

    b e a utiful...
