You have broken your previous record of 90 mph by hitting a TON on a stock C5 - it is close enough even after GPS correction.  Must be a Canuck  ;) !

If you can check your speedometer against a GPS you have settled the debate of gearing/EFI rev limiter vs. horsepower keeping the UCE from the ton.  Do you have the stock gearing?  What tires?  Did the ECU start cutting off the fuel?  I'm getting geeky here now, I know.  :P

kinda scary holding my POS cell phone out at that speed to take the picture.... I have an hour ride from work to my home, nights like this I cherish as the storms travel across the great lakes in line with my direction of travel .  it's pissing rain horizontally now. At that speed it was like I was standing still I went out after I got home with my gps and found that my speedometer  (suggestometer?) reads 3km less  than than the guage. Arrrgh. there goes my ton bragging rights.

Desi BIke, Now you have only two options:

A) Replace that speedometer !
B) Replace your bike with mine  ;D

That settles the issue of colors. RED is the fastest my friends  :D

After seeing that I could get it to go that fast, I pulled over to the side of the road, got my camera up and running sat it between my legs and went back up to speed...clenched up the pucker really well and took the shot. Going in the other direction into the wind it was a struggle to go over 110. Strong winds, trees down and all... so a ton in a tornado lol

I believe you have claim to Ton Up and the right to wear a patch.

definitely check the nuts & bolts. In fact, walk back along the route with a strong magnet on a stick and collect the bits that fell off.... ;)
