Baby killers, what's the fastest you've done in your car?

Nope! Lots of litre bikes can hit those speeds in 2nd now! I've only got a little 600 but it'll do over 80mph in 2nd!

Yeah, I forgot about that. A buddy of mine had a CBR1000 (this was about 5 years ago) he let me take for a quick spin. I'd never been on a bike like that before. Jumped on the service drive and wound out 2nd to 110 -- still 4 gears to go! 
That thing felt stable and sure the whole time, I wouldn't have even realised I was going that fast had I not looked.
I would have played some more, but I wasn't exactly dressed for the occassion. Shorts and t-shirt to be exact.
edit: now that I think about it, my old '85 Nighthawk 650 could do 70 in 2nd. Compared the the top end of 95 MPH on my '83 Kaw 550 LTD.

Agreed FLukester, as you can see from this video.

You can look through my others too. You'll notice my bike is also the noise you hear when you look at www.racefit.co.uk
As much as I dislike bikes, vid's like that always make me consider booking my test, knowing I can get supercar performance for the price of a small hatchback

Just because of this, I'm seriously considering biking aswell now!

I NEED a bike license. Whats the quickst way of getting one?
I have sworn I will never get on one since I will fall in love with it and end up in pieces down the road. I have lost too many friends on them.
I will say you always look in control in the few vids I watched, and can see how addictive that sort of speed can be... but not for me.
No need to go stupid fast in a straight line.
I just go round corners quickly, one of the reasons I love the DC2. License losing speeds on the straights or pretty legal speeds around corners maxing out the limits of the car (on a private test track and to the conditions)

The writing on the rev counter - is that Japanese for 'AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!'?
I've done over 140mph indicated, so probably around 130mph is more realistic.
Although I was doing bang on 125 last week, and the bloody undertray/sump guard flew off
Thankfully the motorway was pretty quiet, but I dread to think what could have happened otherwise.
I went back and fetched the pieces and went straight to the dealer as they did some work the other week. I made it pretty clear that I wasn't prepared to fork out the £250 for the new bits of plastic. I'm going back today to see what he thinks..
Do I have a case? Bits of undertray shouldn't be flying off regardless of the speed, although I told him I was doing 90

They shouldn't do at that speed. However, I'd try and avoid telling him that you were doing almost double the motorway speed limit when that happened.
If your cars still under some sort of warranty then yes you have got a case.
The car's 8 years old, but I've done ~120 in it many times without any issues.
Like I said, it was in for some work the other week so I am almost certain it's related.
However, the screws that hold the undertray in place are very small, and they work their way loose over time. But the bits are only 2 years old as I bought them when I got the car.

115mph indicated on the M1. Outrunning a cocky little 1.0l corsa sitting up my ****. Totally empty apart from us tho.
