Never on my FLHT, on a BMW at Sturgis. Once is enough! |

Oh,yeah..I was young and dumb..and,have done the ton (+) on the Harley,too..but seem to have out-grown (?) the "need for speed" and generally stick to 5 over,now. Well..usually anyhow !

Once on the old Sporty, and almost on the FXDB (95+). But I'm pretty much a 5 mph over kinda guy.

Only way my knuck will go that fast is in the back of a real fast truck!
But I have ridden well over 100 mph on other bikes. |

More than I should. Not as fast as some here, tho. When I got the 94, it wouldn't do 100... that took a little work. Once I got the response that I wanted, had to go to work on the brakes! I seldom go over 100 now, but 90 is a regular. |

Most of the time I like to cruise at 80-85 on the highway if not the cagers are trying to run you over here in Maryland.Last year I installed a TXR frame stabilizer which helps with cornering and wobble on these newer FL's.Sometimes when I feel the need for speed I do like to ring it out a bit, 115 or so.I 've caught myself more than once up over 100 running up through the gears getting on an Interstate usally in 4th gear.When I ride out west this summer I'm sure I'll end up running 100 for a sustained period trying to make time. |

I'm pretty sure every time I go riding I hit 100 mph at some point. The question is how many miles have you gone at 100 mph? I did about 60 miles, then starting getting to close Phoenix. Just cause it's a Harley don't mean you can't run the ton. Those RG's are really good at that, in comfort too. |

105 indicated and was still pulling w/ more throttle to go. Once. Never again. More fun from 0-whatever on a Harley. |

My Shovel is wound tight around 90 mph and the 1926 JD will go 70 mph but it feels a whole lot faster. I normally cruise around 65 mph on the Shovel and 45 to 50 mph on the JD. | | |
