The funny thing is that this same post, if made on I-bmw, would get deleted or bashed to pieces in a heartbeat. Plenty of people over there that, rightfully, don't believe in the power of "max speed" from a GPS.

In the right conditions, I can get into a tunnel, exit between tall buildings, and then magically move a block to the north or south in under a half a second, which ends up blipping my top speed close to 200 MPH.

Besides, I've always considered threads like these to be "who should win the next Darwin Award?" Or, "who's going to be the next one to ruin someone else's life in a fiery wreck?"

Except, of course, for the few people who do it legally on tracks or salt flats...

Then again, the way I ride my S (read: steady and controlled) would probably get my membership revoked in some circles, but I really DGAF.
