I hear that. The fastest I've ever gone was approximately 165 mph on a motorcycle (extrapolating tachometer to gearing, there is no speedo on a race bike)... ...but that was on a closed course roadracing racetrack, during a sanctioned event, with paramedic ambulances stationed at either end of the track. AND, it was a little over 20 years ago. My back didn't hurt every single day back then. I didn't have to take BP meds or thyroid meds, and I was skinny - which may be hard for those who have met me face to face to believe.danpaw wrote:You're right about the drivers. I think they ought to make them switch. I've gotten too old to enjoy too much horsepower anyway. I have a friend that has a ZR-1 and always wants me to go when he makes a high speed run. I think he thinks if he gets caught the cop will let me take the car home as he heads off to jail. We haven't made it over 200 mph yet because there is always traffic and it comes on you real fast at that speed. We did get to 195 once and that's all I wanted. I'm almost sure I've done that my last time.
That itch has been well and truly scratched. I don't need it anymore.
