"There does seem to be a lot of smoke and ash, though. Now we know what is happening."

At least that explains all the fires we've been having in Florida lately.

131 Las Vegas test track . 62 miles an hour on Dirt, it was over 60 but under 65, that was when I looked and got scared, that damn bike is too big and tall for me to ride that fast on the dirt. but it was fun : D

Cityx,
Was that on your City-X "dirt bike", or a Uly?

I got 134 on my City-X with the race kit. The Uly seems to be tuned to curve out of power on the top.

Treadmarks: You have roads with no traffic in Miami?

It only appears so to Treadmarks. In fact, they have all been vaporized by the death ray.

There does seem to be a lot of smoke an ash, though. Now we know what is happening.


HA! Too funny.

aaaah didn't doo it.

Ok, maybe not no traffic, but just very light traffic at 5 am.

They do seem to get out of my way when I am in the left lane. Maybe they feel me coming.

That and they can smell bacon and burning hair.

On my recent trip from Georgia to Denver I opened it up to 115 a few times with all three bags. No problem and I had a little bit left over. The drag issue is apparent at those speeds though but I never felt it start to get fishy.

I had mine at 110 and she could have run more but I started thinking about cops, deer, cows, my kids, and my wallet. However, this was at about 4500 feet altitude. I wonder how much more she has at sea level....

126 on the GPS last Thursday in northern Florida, along a long flat straight stretch with no cars anywhere, and really good visibility. It seemed to float a little above 110. This was without bags, and with the stock windshield, hunkered down.

Now that I've seen what it can do, I needn't do that ever again.

But that was uh, out in the salt flats, no Riding down the back side of Mount Evans. Would you believe tied to the back of a corporate jet?
