I,ve managed 164 on an A road  ........................

... but then found that bends come up rather quickly at that speed

i have a thing about doing no more than 140 on the road...i just think its unnecessary. im not being policewoman...just personally im not comfortable doing it. doesnt mean i dont do 140 a lot tho lol 

on track, well, the sv650 dont do 140 lol...mebbe downhill with the wind behind...  even on a 15-44/road sprocket setup...

when i used to take the sv thou on track i was happy to wring its neck...certainly over 140 at snetterton...

guess i dont feel the need to keep pushing the envelope on the road any more. not that it seems to have reduced my accident rate  in fact when i was being superbad i didnt have any problems...hmmm....

I am with you Gabs more track I do the slower I ride on the road , Shaun's accident is asserting it even more.....

You cannot put a price on your life..... it doesn't mean ya can't live or can't have fun..... it just means be cautious and doing 172 aint being cautious

Rumour has it I once did 181 mph on a A road in Derby once (speedo reading)...but obviously couldn't confirm or deny it    It was alledgedly on my way home from Leicester after picking the 10 up...and was like....hmmmm...if I twist this thing on the right what happens....   I realised that in fact, it makes the world around go blurry and your arsehole contract

However, I have to be honest and say that anything for me above 130ish is pushing it a little...certainly on normal road riding!   Too many fooking idiots, who straddle white lines, cut corners, park in wrong places....or as we all found out...leave tractors lying around!  Big open roads I do exceed the limits, but only where I think I can.

Just in case your wondering, I have been banned 4 times for speeding...however did once get caught doing 114 in a 40 and got away with 3 points   That was in my foolish youth, and have been a very good boy for many years now.  I have actually slowed down since riding.  Very odd....I prefer to save my speed for the track!

i got let off for 130 in a 60 (outside thruxton circuit) 

and the shift light does come on in 6th  but i cant find any more gears

we don't have tractors pulling out in front of us here....alot of guys do really high speeds here on the super high ways......it takes too long for me to heal now...i've slowed down alot
