About like when I was doing 70 mph and got passed by a Huyabusa on a 2 lane road.  :evil:   Knew it was a 'busa because I passed it on a side road before it was on my road!  Apparently he wanted to make a point.

Local Kawi dealer has one in stock, on the floor.  My 18 year brain is screaming "WE NEED THAT!!!!" my 54 year old body is screaming "YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER STUPIDITY!!!!!"  and the bride of my youth just looks at me, laughs and asks "You like sleeping alone don't you?"   Damn I would love to ride 180 mph on a bike again.  Of course I had less wetted area in the 70's than I do now.  :embarrassed:

Very cool. And further proof that all background music for YouTube videos is lousy.

I was passed by a friend on a Hayabusa last year.  He said he was doing about 150 when he went by.  I suspected it was coming, so he didn't surprise me when he passed.  It was fun to watch, although I'm not envious.   :grin:

Probably something like the Harley guys feel when a V11 Sport flies past them on an uphill grade and drops into 6th at 100+ LOL

Right.   :grin:   And this was the guy who, while following my Mille, was unable to negotiate a curve earlier in the ride and had ridden straight into the woods, down a footpath with an open gate, until he was able to stop.

I don't think the deer fence is tall enough.  That would be ugly at 332 kph  :shocked:

Well, I was once passed on I-70 west of Grand Junction by a large diesel RV when my T-3 was showing 90 mph.

You haven't been passed.... until... an old lady driving a Rolls Royce pulling an Airstream passes you on the way from California to Arizona on I-40. :grin:

She had those big ass mirrors strapped from the bottom to the top of the doors and a really old man in the passenger seat.

I looked for her as I went by gas and truck stops just so I could talk to her and get a picture..I bet she would have interesting to talk to.

In my defense I was pulling about 41,000 lbs of freight.

No cellphone cameras in those days
