Yeah buddy! Well, according to ever so accurate Smiths speedo anyways.
There I was coming home from work today... The bike was running good and I am getting a feel for the ride and braking so I decided it was time for some highway action. Coming off of Colfax east bound I jumped on 225 South and opened her up! I actually had to hit the brakes at the top of the ramp because I caught up to the slow traffic.
Merged over into the center lane and cracked it wide open! After about a half mile or so I peaked down and caught a glimpse of almost 105mph (so probably closer to 85-95mph ) and it was awesome!
Not
officially The Ton, but a respectable speed none the less, and she was still pulling too.
Let me tell you something though... A vintage ribbed bias-ply Goodyear on the front wheel on grooved paved with a cross wind
DEFINITELY makes for an exciting ride and keeps you on your toes.
I actually reached down and tightened up my steering damper. I was skeet skeet skidaddelin all over that lane, but I never lost confidence in my bike or my capabilities and just rode with the flow. It was actually a lot of fun, but I'm kind of crazy like that and an adrenaline junkie ( look at my avatar ). Though, I don't think I'll get on grooved pavement again until I get some new rubber on the front, but it was a glorious action packed ride.
