Deathlucky, the only 'safe' place to be going 180 km/h is the track.



Ok how many of us reached top speed on our GS at a track?   :icon_rolleyes:

Never really tried to get top speed out of the GS, was to busy haveing fun just riding the bike.  Haven't even reached triple digets on the gsxr's either.   :dunno_white:  The fastest I have gone is about 90 mph on the 750 and that was to keep up with Atlanta traffic.

Maybe I have gotten old, going fast is not as big a thrill as it used to be.  Now I have more fun just riding and enjoying the scenery (sp?).

A gixxer 750 is a strange bike to enjoy the scenery on...

I have. It just kinda chills there along the front straight for a few seconds at a time (gotta slow down when coming off the banked straightaway into Turns 1 and 2).

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

As an Aussie I have to agree.

We do do some silly things  :cheers:

There are plenty of stupid Americans, don't get me wrong, but I have met many many Australians that seem to defy Darwin at all times. The type of people that, in the old days would have been taken out back and shot.

105 (ind) is pretty easy...  Anything more takes some planning.  :laugh:

Yep I go cruising with the 750.  Also do alot of twisties in the mountains on it.  I want to do a track day , but need to find the time. 

I belive Alpha you mentioned before you went in the triple digits on a public road?  Think it was deserted at the time or something about there not being any traffic.

And how many of you belive that someone can do 180kph during rush hour?  There's no room unless he's on the shoulder he's just trolling trying to get people stired up.

I would say none.  how can you move unless your on the shoulder, and if you were on the shoulder you would probally lose control of the bike with all the ruble on the road, have an accident and die.

This is deathlucky we're talking about. Would you honestly be surprised if he said he WAS going down the shoulder?
