How fast?

Ok, so lets have it…

What's the fastest you've driven your car, or ridden your bike.

I've done some crazy speed on my bikes and in cars on public roads, but would never post the stories here. No telling who's watching

I always obey all posted speed limits.

I've gone as fast as I ever wanted to on the drag strip and way faster than I ever wanted to in a drag boat.

When I was in high school I hit 200 kmh in our honda accord on a 4-lane highway. Dumb dumb dumb.

At the track I've hit 230 kmh in a 996TT. The car had more, but I ran out of cajones.

Maxed out a hayabusa. Was too clenched to look at the gauges.

3 times under 19 seconds on a measured mile in the old 930. 155 on my old Pro Stock motored Z-1 over an overpass with tank slapping front end wobble late 70's.

I have held it under 160 GPS speed the last couple years.

180mph indicated on my old 2001 Honda RC51 on the track...equates to maybe 170ish true speed.

Went through an SCTA speed trap on a dry lake a 162 and change. All certified and sanctioned, so no worries. Interesting, to say the least.

Through the traps at Daytona in 1992 on a 600F2 Honda at 151mph. Factory guys were at 164mph, so yeah, it was a long week.

I have done a GPS verified 672 MPH in my stock 1.6L Miata. Did it west bound on A1A out of Key West.

If Big Brother is watching, its never too early to discredit myself as a reliable witness
