I first thought it was an Allard but it’s not

I've cracked 180 on a motorcycle in my young and dumb days.

167 and I backed off.

167 and I backed off.

I read that my bike was limited at 187 and wanted to test it out. It wouldn't go past 186. I did it twice and that was more than enough for me. Otherwise 120 was my limit. Until I was almost part of a police chase. After that I would very rarely crack 100.

175 on the front straight at Summit Point, radar verified. I had to get a really good drive off of the turn going in to hit it. I never looked at my speedo at those speeds, my eyes were always on the brake markers that come up realllllllly fast.

I did 160 when I went to Superbike school at New Hampshire MS. Scary but fun.

My stomach is turning reading the last few comments while sitting at my desk. Don't think I could do that speed without a roll cage.

Nadler would never fit in that thing

Believe it or not, speed becomes irrelevant and almost unnoticeable on the track. Its relative, since everyone else is going more or less the same speed, you don't even really notice it, just your position and whoever you're chasing. The only thing you're looking at is your tach (sometimes), other riders, and braking points.

Descending NY73 from Lake Placid to Keene at 47mph on 25c tires and rim brakes was scary enough.

Descending NY73 from Lake Placid to Keene at 47mph on 25c tires and rim brakes was scary enough.

I'm terrified breaking 35mph on my road bike. Skinny tires, in tights with a foam brain bucket on the road (oh, and useless brakes). Cars, trees, guardrails, hard pavement, etc. Best case scenario if you go down is a severe case of road rash? I don't even want to think about worst case. At least on the track I'm in full leather, armor, and I'm either crashing into an open field or heavily padded barrier.

Still get ragdolled.

I remember one of those ADK descents. Fantastic reward for climbing.

I was full tucked and 47 was the max, I was trying and couldn't go any faster.

I miss track days on my race bike (ZX6R) at NJMP and New York Safety Track. One of the best chapters in my 2 wheel life so far!
