Default Whats the fastest you been on 2 or 4 wheels?

Was thinking today, (really hurt myself) at what point would you say THAT'S FAST ENOUGH!!!
I've seen just over 160mph in my saph (wonder what that really is) and 185mph on my GIXXER in 5 gear (1 moor to go) thinking about having it de-restricted but where do you stop?

so how far have you pushed your motors and at what point would/have you eased off???

In my rst i have been off the clock, 5th gear til the limiter kicked in. not sure how fast it was, it didn't have timing gear i was just messing round on abingdon airfield (which isn't very long lol)

i was a passenger at 150mph indicated in a T5 estate once on a french morotway. we were driving hard for a good 14 hours and got bored at night time 100mph in the rst is way scarier that any speed in a volvo i can say that

155mph in my old saph
165mph on my old gsxr

The only time you ease off is when you think someone might pull into the other lane or if you brick out .

Did an indicated 160mph in my old Pulsar, felt plenty fast enough for me, if something goes wrong at that speed it's game over.

It's weird as the faster you go, the sensation is almost exponential when you get over 100mph, ie 130mph feels twice as fast as 100mph

saw 203 on my old blade.
and had indicated 180 out of my rx7
got the p100 to do 150mph... and i think that was the most scary lol.
back in the late 70s i did a 105mph lap of the isle of man on an old (at the time new) ducati 900ss. that sounds slow now but fuck me it wasnt.
