Does anyone know why it says "guest" under my name? It didn't use to do this. Did I do something wrong?

I was wondering that myself when I saw it. It might be good to click on "contact us" and leave a message for ADMIN.

Default 100 miles an hour

Been there done that many times. I've taken my current ride 07 Streetglide to 110, that's about all she's got. It don't take long to get there tho......

OK, I'll admit I do like speed when riding. Perhaps that's one of the main reasons I ride so many old bikes. In my youth I spent a few seasons roadracing and knee dragging and if we weren't well over 100 mph we'd be in the way.

I try (not so successfully) to keep that part of my history buried when riding on the street. But every time I am on the road with AIM editor Chris Maida he brings out the worst in me and my speeds!

135 and climbing on an old 73 Suzuki GT 750 with a bald back tire. Young and dumb. Still like to crank it up once in a while but I got to have a license to work! Don't think the boss would hire a chauffer to drive my crane from job to job!

Default 100 mph

Most recent 102 mph on the Dyna. Speedometer matches up with the Garmin (Nuvi 660). Speedometer on the FLHP is way off. 100 mph = 91 on the gps.
Gps takes the fun out of it.

When both of us were younger 100 mph on the Vincent in second gear. Top speed over 115 way over!

Fla has law change pending for stunt riding and extreme speed. Will have to wait and see. Could be a good excuse for why I don`t do it anymore.
Yeah right ! I ain`t as good as I once was but ..........
