I can't imagine what it would feel like to ride at that speed. :shock:

No one "gets a speeding ticket" for 165 mph. They get cuffed and thrown in the cruiser while the bike gets impounded.

How fast was the ticket actually for?

Me, too. The needle on my Troll Meter is pegged.

Thank you!! I was going to say something, but didn't want to be the only one. The helmet switch was a nice touch to the story. :?

Cheers,

C'mon guys I was going to cut him some slack. All Harleys can do 165mph to keep up!

Yeah, but mine has a bit of head shake at the 150mph mark. But I just tuck in behind the fairing and ride it out. I lose my nerve at 180mph, though. My baggy pants act like parachutes at that speed and I keep having to go back and pick up my sideways baseball cap 'cause it keeps blowing off my head, anyway.
