Start building them again!?!?!!

Life History/Philosophy: |
Old guy---Came down with the rain, just NOT last night's rain! If you're 30 and want to whip my ass, just remember that if you do, your friends will not ever let you forget that you just had to choose out an old guy before you weren't too chicken to do it. BUT if I whip YOUR ASS, NO ONE in the ENTIRE WORLD will ever let you forget it!

What is possible? Legal? Who knows, but I have PERSONALLY seen over 150 MPH on the speedo.

The one making the bike go that I happen to be riding.
