Folks, I've been to 148mph (certified on radar at Pocono Raceway at the last SAAC convention to darken it's hallways), if you think you can get to that speed on some back country road, your greatly mistaken................

I guess I forgot that it is completely impossible for anybody else on this site to do anything better/faster than you, so I won't take too much offense to the fact that you are calling most of our posts bull$hit.
For the record, my 140+ run was done on a fairly new section of 4-lane interstate, with extremely light traffic. That being said, your definition of "back country roads" in New Jersey is completely different that what we have in Missouri and Kansas. I think maybe you've seen one too many episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard. I've seen faster runs than mine go down on sections of open rural two-lane here that are straight and flat for miles at a time.
Could my speedo be off? Possibly. But I know what fast feels like. I've ridden with SAAC co-director Ken Eber in his original 427 S/C at Pocono in excess of 170 (which is just one of many high-speed excursions I've experienced in my 32 years of life), so I feel my seat of the pants judgement in pretty good.
Now I'll let you get back to reigning over all of us "rookies".
