I was running a two lane asphalt hiway (US 93) from Vegas to Alamo NV at a comfortable 60 MPH. Bike runs very nicely at the that speed and I can enjoy the scenery. Got to a very long and straight stretch and I opened it up. Got it up to 105 and felt uncomfortable so I backed down to to 85. Ran it for a while at 85 and gradually got it up again to 110. Ran it for a while and then I was passed by something white/red at a horrible speed which scared the poop out of me. Imagine running at 110 MPH and having something pass you like you are standing still? I do not know what it was other than one of those Rice Rockets with an idiot driving it. He had to be going 160 or so to move so fast away from me and the sound what unbelievable even with the full face helmet on. I backed down to 60 and enjoyed the ride a lot more.
