Now theres a truism. I have yet to get anywhere near the 100 miles an hour point.
I dont have any issues with those who do although it could certainly be argued that they are endangering themselves potentially and others as well by speeding to that extent on a public road.
Thats where I never find the argument that those who willfully and legally choose to not wear a helmet are endangering others to be an argument that holds water.
I expect the longer you ride at highway speeds on our bikes on a regular basis (75-85 miles an hour) and become accustomed to that then the idea of tempting 100 plus miles an hour is an easy step.
With around 4600 miles of saddle time on my speedie I still find highway speeds to be at least from a sensory standpoint to be "plenty fast enough" 80 miles an hour on a bike feels like at least 100 miles an hour in a four wheeled vehicle to me.
Things rush by plenty fast at that speed much more so than is perceived in your average six cylinder American motorcar.
In all honesty I get visions of teeth, eyeballs, and hair mixed with a gooey mixture of blood and greymatter much beyond 90. I only approcahed that once when checking the envelope after rejetting, snork removal and pipes early on.
Plenty of non riders do indeed think we are completely bonkers to ride at all.
