i wish i have access to a road like that to practice fast acceleration... although cops will probably patrol a road like that regularly since it looks like an invitation to street drag racing.
there was a video posted here a while ago.....the guy had all the protection you could think of and apparately he was going 100+ on a road like that, and some car pulled out of nowhere and he ran into it.....it showed his body lying there.....my point = that might be a "place' to speed, but it's not the "perfect" place because you never know what can jump in the middle of the road.

That road is rural farm land, but still you have to be aware of side roads and tractors, the give aways are the dirt tracks coming across the tar. We have been on a lot of tracks in South Africa and only one can handle my bikes top speed. This is the ring at Gerotek in Pretoria and they only let professional testing for car and bike manufacturers on the track. Got to watch out for these too.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
110, done it twice and I'm pretty sure that's as fast as the bike will go even though it's rated for 120.
I don't go faster than about 10 over the limit with a passenger though. I'm kind of a safety freak when someone else is back there.

most passanger guys are cool aboutt everytime i'm giving a quick spin around the block to a girl, i ask if its okay to go fast and they say yes.....once i hit 50+ they freaks out, and once the ride is over, they get mad at me.
