"Gunner Asch" wrote several weeks ago, I got on a Ninja and was clocked at 264 mph, on a paved public road. Now to be fair..it was a paved road out in the desert. And the scooter did belong to a CHP buddy of mine. And his partner was running the speed gun....shrug But reckless? Hardly. Gunner There was a fella who got a ticket on a motorcycle, somewhere in New England, IIRC, that was at some high speed. Anyone recall it? Just Googled, and it seemes a Porsche went 242 in a 75 in Texas, and a motorcycle went 205.11 in Minnesota. How did they get the .11? I once went 120 on a Honda 750 in around 1969 when they were one of the fastest things around. That was a rush. Steve Heart surgery pending? www.cabgbypasssurgery.com |

Gunner There was a fella who got a ticket on a motorcycle, somewhere in New England, IIRC, that was at some high speed. Anyone recall it? Nope. Just Googled, and it seemes a Porsche went 242 in a 75 in Texas, and a motorcycle went 205.11 in Minnesota. How did they get the .11? It's probably a function of the radar gun or unit. The law says 75 miles per hour is legal. If the radar says 75.01, he can be ticketed. It's all about money when it comes to gov't systems. I once went 120 on a Honda 750 in around 1969 when they were one of the fastest things around. That was a rush. I've done 125 (limited by traffic) in a Porsche 928 (the only one I recognize. Not one of those oversexed VWs) and as a passenger 150 in a '63 Corvette and 140+ in a '67 GTO. I think 90 is the fastest I've been on a bike, and yes, that's damned fast feeling. I prefer the safety and comfort of a speeding car. The brother of a friend in Vista, CA in the early '70s was cautioned when he bought his new Kawasaki Mach III (big for then) 500cc that he should never go WFO into fifth gear. He did and it when the bike flipped getting onto the freeway, it ground off the top half of his head before he stopped. At least he didn't suffer. -- The general effect was exactly like a microscopic view of a small detachment of black beetles, in search of a dead rat. -- John Ruskin |

Up to this point, the biggest street bike I'd ridden was a 450 Ducati. I puttered around a bit, mindful that it wasn't my bike. But heading back, at the last stop light, I decided to nail it just once. Not wanting to chance looping it, I chose to forgo a full on drag strip launch, waiting until I was well into the intersection to really nail it hard. There was a gentle right hand turn about 1/4+ mile ahead. By the time I got there, I was something over 100mph and had a -bad- case of tunnel vision. Was more concerned about someone pulling out of a parking lot than getting an accurate speedo reading. Right then and there, I resolved to stay on smaller bikes, else I'd lose my license eventually. Had I known then I was half a block from the Grass Valley CHP office, I would have toned it down considerably... G Jon |

About a minute later, I was still white when Phil told me it was his buddy he was racing, not some CHP officer with a radio, calling ahead to nab us. I pinched buttonholes in my skivvies that day.

I picked up another OmniTurn cnc lathe this week. Its down at my buddies shop in Anaheim getting a wash job and cleaning before I start working on it.

The two attachments came out of a shop that machined pressed powdered metal parts..and they didnt take good care of them (sigh) The Gt-75 only needs a lttle bit of collet closer repair..but its tired. Wouldnt be bad for someone who needed only .001 -/+ as is. Shrug....maybe if the economy ever returns to "ok", Ill get em fixed up and saleable, or sell em cheap as-is and let the new owners spend the $1-2k each, its going to take to get em back to Excellent condition.

The same "proof" he offered for his sailboat speed claim. I doubt he's ever been over100 on a bike. I also doubt he's ridden much at all. He collects old crap and wouldn't have the energy to fix up it up much less the knowledge. He prefers to ride his chair, where he can have fantastic adventures at will. |
