Speeding on 2 wheels is WAY different than on 4 wheels. I have been 180+ in several 911s in my life. I hit 140 once and only once on two wheels. Decided that about 110 was my top speed on 2 wheels. Took about 5 minutes to come down from that adrenaline high and for the shakes to stop. Sometimes fear is a good thing.C-dub wrote:Kinda glad I sold my Busa so I won't be tempted. I've been over 170 mph and, although I would have liked to push it further at the time, when I did the math on feet per second that was enough for me. At around 280 feet per second and given the average person's reaction time of at least 2.5 seconds to realize something must be done and the time it takes to send those signals to your body to tell it to do whatever needs to be done ... that was all the sobering I needed.
So, I sold the bike and bought a couple rifles and some ammo and then a shotgun after saving up a little more.

If I am going faster than 200 mph I better be on the salt flats or have wings!

BUSTED - Doing 220 in an 85 mph Texas Toll Way
John Hennessey was "busted" doing 220 mph in an 85 mph zone on the new Texas I 130 tollway. He was cleared by TX dot to test the toll cameras in his new VR 1200. TX DOT confirms they clicked his toll tag at 180 mph.
