.....and the funny thing, is that it makes no difference what you're
riding at 50 MPH when you hit a wall/truck/nun. You might have a
slight advantage on a heavy bike when hitting the nun..but by and
large, you're out in the open, no seat belt, no protection...and NO
way to hang on.
I have gone over 120 MPH many, many times on my bikes and sometimes
faster, but I assure you, you're not swapping helmets with anybody at
100 MPH. The second you undo the strap, she's a goner.
