Closed course of course
At 190 my butt would be sucking the padding outa the seat, methinks.

160+ on '88 Yamaha FZR1000 at the track...that was pretty much my limit as far as nerve.
140+ on a deserted two lane public road...long sweeper on the Ducati 996S.
No interest in going faster...but it was available.
A few blind driveways kept me "sane". Ouch!

Really.
The microsecond it takes seems like too long at speed on a bike.
