Yup! Say it all there sir! :2thumbs:I hit 110, I thought it was pretty damn fast. I hit it pretty quick I thought also. Hurricane force winds against my chest and face. That sucked. Then I had a flash of my kids and rolled it back down to 75 and all was good. I must be a chicken shit. I prefer quickness as to top speed.
My wife said she did't like it so quick at high speed!I prefer quickness as to top speed.
Not to be a party-pooper but:I have had the 05 chop up to where the speedo needle hits the reset button...had to be somewhere between 135-145 mph. The bike felt like it was glued to a rail...solid and smooth as can be. Only did it once though, ya gotta get it outta your system one time!
no chance110 isn't even close to top speed on these bikes. I'm guessin more like 150-160. If I cared enough, I'd calculate it.
great post :2thumbs:Does over 110mph for an hour and a half (and at times the speedo needle was bouncing in excess of 120mph)with full camp gear loaded on a hot day riding with your "ride bud" toe to heel count?
Pics and vid of that trip are posted on this site.
If I was on a 'busa or similar, 120mph would not be impressive, yet the rider was on a big dog cruiser/chopper bike, which in my book makes it impressive.
Speeds are all relative and how one rides is not for me to decide what is right or wrong. we all have various levels of comfort and to some going 60mph may be top end, and to them I say great, I will still ride with them because they ride. You want to ride 130 on (whatever), great. 190? ok, but I would bet most are the most comfortable riding close to the speed limit.
Want to impress me? Live to ride another day so we can ride together.
Hope to see you all out there someday.
BTW: in my current job, I have seen some seriously fucked up wrecks and several fatalities and for the most part, none of these needed to happen. I was also in an accident that should never have happened and yet I and the others all walked away from it with no injuries except my 1 ton dually was destroyed.
There are some seriously ignorant drivers and motorcycle riders out there these days.
Keep it real folks.

hey byrdog, whats with the hatred? I didnt say one bad thing about big dog, all I was saying was I dont think 110 is fast, hell, I dont think 135 is fast either, so why does this mean I have to go sell my dog and go buy another jap bike?
why does it always come to a pissing match with some people on this site, I read alot of the post on this site and there is always someone not looking "outside the box", thats why I usually just read them and never reply cause of people like you, so take a chill pill, drink a beer and relax, its not the end of the world just yet.
by the way knotso, I agree, close to the speed limit is problably the most comfortable, but everyone is different, some people love the thrill of speed, others not so much, thats why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream, cause everyone is different, to each his/her own. like you said, just live to ride another day.
Nothin Beats Cherry Garcia!!!!:2thumbs:Chocolate ice cream is for kids and Vanilla is for pussys. Ben & Jerrys Chunky Monkey or Cherry Garcia is where it's at.![]()
I agree...! However, Chubby Hubby is close :roll:Nothin Beats Cherry Garcia!!!!:2thumbs:
