A12 from Colchester towards Ipswich, after picking up my ZXR400, and having my licence 1 day...
Swiftly followed by a buttock clenching moment as I realised cornering at 100mph is somewhat different on a bike.
I forced myself to ride more carefully after that and build my ability slowly. ____________________ <Simple> no I'm shaven Jon

The Mito read 100mph once (doubtful), but then it broke.
The VFR likes 100mph, first time was coming back from buying it from Wales, my GF was behind in the 306. I gave it some stick and couldn’t believe it. Just a bit shit it’s that addictive. ____________________ Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Followed an oldish bloke (I was 19 at the time) on a ZXR750 with pillion out from an airfield in Essex after a flying lesson.
Thought 'can't let them get away', and looked down to see my KLR indicating 98 or so; which is pretty damn fast for something of that ilk . |

Going down the A1 from stamford, down a little hill that goes under the bridge by the little chef got 90mph on my NSR the week before and topped 105 indicated on the GS although i must say it was the most horrifically scary and arm aching moment of my road biking career as the bars seemed to have a mind of their own, and at the same time, the front wheel was deciding it didnt want to follow the bars either  ____________________ CBT Aug '03 ...

EDIT: I'd hit 100 loads of time before that in the corsa going down to newquay and back. I once had the corsa up to an indicated 120 mph revs stuck at 5600 rmp wouldn't go anymore yet redline was at 6000 - 7000, coming back from rockingham along the A1, had to move over cause this beemer was up my arse and made me look like I was standing still  ____________________ Bikes owned: Aprilia RS 125 GP1 2003 (Now sold), Suzuki GSX-r600 1997 (streetfightered), https://www.bikepics.com/members/sychosis/

The day i picked up my RD350LC YPVS,down the A4 heading towards maidenhead from Reading.
Sv_cath had her first 100mph experience along the same stretch of road a little while later,i'll let her tell the story of that,lets say it came as a bit of a shock  ____________________ Nothing gets the point across quite like a raised middle digit.

Obviously not done it on my own bike, but first time was in a Ford Escort I think, about 10 years ago on the motorway. Was certainly amusing holding 120 for about 10 minutes, constantly watching the mirror in the passenger sun screen for the .
Other than that, been on pillion past the tonne a couple of times. It was quite relaxing once I got used to the windblast whenever I wanted to stick my head up and have a look where we were going. The parts which scared me were the accelerations. The VFR750 and Fazer 600 don't half pick up their skirts and go! I got plenty of arm exercise trying not to fall off the back.  ____________________ I must not be a troll...

I managed an indicated 100 on my rs for the first time on my birthday, within about 15 minutes of going out on it.
If i never broke the magical 100 on that i did when i had a go on a friends R1 on the way to tamworth, it indicated 125 so must have gone clean past it.  ____________________ ?It?s mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack?not rationality.? |

At the age of 16, driving my gran's mk2 Golf on the only bit of road on the island long enough and straight enough to attain such heady speeds.
After the Yugo, I thought that car was so damned fast.  |
