Yea my area is awesome I live on a border line of fields in front of my house and neighborhood behind me. My drive to work is all rural paved country roads that are straight for like five miles and there are never cops on them

Yeah, its kinda scary how easy it is to get to that speed. I told my self I would let off at 120 but by the time I looked down again I was doing 135... If I wanted I could of hit 150 without much trouble. I still have a grand to go in 4th gear. Once you hit 5th it takes way too long to get to higher speed. Im thinking 4th at redline is right around 145-150.

so i just got back from going to breakfast with a couple of buddies at hardees (for all u northerners hardees is the single greatest supplier of biscuits, and biscuits are the greatest bread product known to man, that u for some reason replaced with crappy, dry english muffins LOL) but i digress
so while we were there we got on the subject of whose truck is the fastest, and of course its mine cause i got the only dakota lol, and my buddy with the f150 triton was trying to save one of the others with a 04 silverado the embarasment of losing lol
so we go to one of the backroads and decide to race lol. this is the first race ive done since i put my superchips on lol. lets just say he got crushed but while racing i looked at my speedo and it was pinned past 120 lol and still accelerating lmao
this has gotta be mostly due to the new shocks, before on the old ones my truck would be bouncing all over the road, now its nice and smooth down the road, not as good as goin 100+ on a highway/interstate because the road isn't flat
but i love these new shocks

I have a friend with an r1 as well and he did get his to 200, but at Pocono. So a little more of a controled environment, but still pretty nuts.

I got to 160 on a gixer 750... never again. I scared myself to death. I love motorcylces, have been on a bike since I was 5, but to go that fast with nothing saving you is a little too much. As soon as I let off, I started to pick my head up a little, the wind got under and almost pulled me right off the bike... scariest moment of my life hands down.

The great thing about that place was the 24 hour drive thru. 3 am Frisco Burger and curly fries were a highlight of my younger years when I had a reason to be out and getting carted around in the backseat of a car at 2 am
