I must be the slow poke of the bunch.One night on a trip to San Francisco, I had my friends Duster pegged at 100 MPH.This was when I was young and foolish.

You must have had a V8. My 1976 Duster with the Slant Six would have needed a stiff tailwind to make 100 mph.

Wonder what kind of road rash you get when you lay it down at 200 mph plus?

The kind where when they pick you up of the pavement, you can here the Paramedic's are saying "Ohh, Thats what Bone looks like..."

A la the story about the voice black boxes allegedly placed in SUVs. In most of the country, accidents were preceded by the driver saying "Oh, S--T!".

This actually goes back to the first few years Black Box's were installed on commercial and some military aircraft. Over the course of a decade of use a report from the NTSB indicated as an aside that in over 75% of air crashes the last deciferable words on the recordings was some variation: "...Oh ***!... " My personal favorite recipe for Disaster came shortly after the fall of the Soviet Empire, an AeroFlot passenger plane crashed mysteriously on a clear day for no apparent reason, when the Black Box was analysed it turned out the pilot was flying with his whole family in the cockpit with him and his young son was by the conversation was sitting on his lap in the pilots chair, the last words on the recording were, apparently aimed at his son..."Dont touch that !..."

The fastest I ever went on my Harley was 135 mph. That was the time my girlfriend Ruth pleaded to drivr with me. I never did care for Ruth as I had another girl I was going with at the time. I was going !35 and Ruth fell off the bike. As i said before I realy didn't care for her so I drove off Ruthlessly.

It ain't the flyin' through the air that gets ya,it's the big slow down at the end...

Being a retired police officer who has had to "clean up in aisle 3" after some of these mooks I might suggest every m/c buyer be required to spend an hour in the morgue, on a "specially selected " day to get a glimpse of the real world.
