Speeeeeeeeeeeeed Raaaaaaaacer
Last April I picked up an 81 Midnight Special. Taking it to work one morning I got into a bit of a race on the back roads with a woman who had a "For Sale" sign in what looked like a late 90's Z28.
I went around her at about 90 mph and she tried to match me for speed. Let me tell you, her car was pretty fast but I walked away from her and got back into the lane and I was easily doing 125mph. Was quite a rush and I laughed thinking that my poor ole 400 dollar bike was faster than her 20000 dollar car.
I intentionally kept a set of high speed gauges to replace those 80mph max ones the special came with. Just so I can see what I'm doing without having a need for a degree in astrophysics to determine the conversion from rpm's to mph's.
Cheers
