I had a dream last night I owned a street bike. 2nd dream that I can remember where I owned either a crotch rocket or a cruiser.
[as for speed... 136 in my 340hp Monty SS back in the day, I only let off because I was afraid I was gonna get busted... she was still pushin the needle at a good pace. Note: for all you chevy experts that are gonna try and bash me on the "speedo maxes out at 85" you, be wrong... I had the Aero Coup speedo, maxed out at 150

Did you fix it yet???
I think this is becoming the three-headed thread - inside of 5 posts.
my record is when i hit the 155 limiter in an X5 4.6is 
On the speedo, or Odo? I do enjoy hitting triple digits on the speedo for sure. I got the only speeding ticket in my new car on the way back from picking it up at the dealership. 138KPH in a 100KPH zone. Minor compared to the speed I was going before the cop spotted me.
Note: A Nissan Maxima rides like a dream over 200KPH, and has power to spare. My new Sentra seems to be drag-limited to around 170KPH, but it get's there in a hurry...

Were you going down a big hill or something?
You couldn't even run up on our Rental truck to moon us!
Jesus... I can't imagine what would happen to my truck if I tried to hit 100+mph.
I've been over 100k miles for a while now.
Nothing wrong with my rig (at least, not to me).
There, I covered all 3 branches of this thread, I think...

Does track time count... if it does I got ya Don. 185mph Daytona Speedway on a Superbike.ViolentVolante said:my record is when i hit the 155 limiter in an X5 4.6is
173 in a 360 Modena.
I saw a guy who had to be going 200 on Superbike a week or so ago. We have had a epidemic of dead Motorcycle riders here in the last month something like 26 in 30 days

Me too, My Jeep has 184k and it is still as peppy as when I got it, but I don't have any desire to push it!jacksonpt said:
I have gotten my Subaru 1.8l impreza up to 110. But I thought it might blow up so I slowed down
is this 2 threads in one?
speed>135 mph on a bike
mileage>I put 104K on my jeep
speed>135 mph on a bike

It's two for one Friday
somehow cars never last more than 80k miles in my household. the stop and go traffic here in Lima turns cars into crap in no time.
top speeds
driving=235kph 1993 Mazda Rx7, but i constantly hit 200-210kph when driving to my favourite beaches 90km south of lima (awesome km´s-long straights in the middle of a desert, with flat out bends, that i know people has taken at 260kmh flat).
riding along=around 165mph (the car was dialed in mph, not kmh) 1995 mustang saleen, and the car didnt push anymore, it was on like a 20km long perfect straight.

In hi-school, i had an Rx-7. that thing would roll.
125 mph on the interstate. I made a 70 minute trip in 45.
I used to race the rednecks i went to school with in their big ass trucks with V-8's & **** & I NEVER got smoked.
Its a wonder I am still alive.

Did you notice how I then stayed in the left lane so if there would be any mooning on your passenger's part his ass would be about .4332543 inches from your face?

Well its a good thing that you picked one of them up on the internet
Me and the duc would hit triples every day...I miss that bike. The less between you and the ground there is seems to equate with the feeling of speed you get.....

i hit 105 in a 88' toyota pick-up 4x4. but the fastest i have been is like 150 in i think it was a BMW 745. but what ever it was it had a v12 and it was ungodly fast.
well my 20 year old volvo wagon tops out at 90mph, but i've got 210,00miles on it
I hit many times my limiter on my passat.. 135mph (probably twice a year). 100+ is pretty much weekly out of on-ramps because it's kind of fun then I slow down to a more cop-friendly speed.
Sometime I am thinking about getting the limiter removed (supposidly it's a 148mph fast wagon) but what's the point really? For 500$ (chip w/o limiter) I'd rather buy some other toy .. It's not like you can get away too often with that kind of speed anyway even in Utah where cops are really mellow about speeding.
If I lived in Munich that be different

speed in car = 120 (sister passat)

In my car: 135-140ish
fastest sustained speed: 120 for about 30 minutes
Sport bike: 135-140ish (with manimal)
Fastest Ride along: 140-150 in a lambo gallardo
(i always look at the speedo when I start slowing down so i have to guess)

i went on a shuttle ride where my ears popped, three times....
speeding in cars is boring to me, especially since when i do it it's over long drives, so that eventually 100+mph feels like 70mph anyways. Then when i hit Seattle the speed limit goes down to 60mph it feels like i'm crawling.

I hit the limiter daily in my Mazda 3 Sport at 188km/hr. I've topped out my friends Acura CL Type-S at 240-something km/hr. Been a passenger in several cars that have hit + 250km/hr. Autobahn is so much more fun then North American highways.
how about this in a 4 door longbed duallie towing a 5th wheel trailer with bike gear:
