    I've done 165 in a 1967 Cadillac convertible with a 500ci aluminum block racing engine (yes, the top was down, what a noise!) and 155 in my STi. New technology has nothing on new technology! :lol:

    me too, i don't have a car as well, also i don't know how to drive a car, but the good thing is, i have a license:)
    usually i ride my bike at 90 kmph, on very busy roads, reminds me of the matrix, but then got a few crashes, now am pretty serious and ride carefully.

    Close to 110km/h.

    And recently, I had to urgently empty my bladder so I was doing about 60km/h in a narrow street that was crowded with roadside stalls & hawkers. Quite an exhilarating experience:D

    Around 130mph in an XK8, but average driving speed on the motorway is 105ish. The 70mph limit is a joke should be raised hardly anyone sticks to it :)

    Same here, but the bike wasnt mine. What makes it exciting was that it was a busy road, the bike was brand new, I wasnt wearing a helmet and I did not know how to drive back then. What an Idiot I was!!

    I would have certainly crashed had it not been a clear straight line path for me. And you know how people cross lanes in front of you.
    Looking back it sends chills down my whole body.

    I physically couldn't drive any faster that 98 mph in my old 1.0 litre Vauxhall Corsa, and that was only when I was going downhill with 5 minutes of having my foot on the metal!
