the_shootist Campfire Ranger T Joined: May 2003 Posts: 20,494 South Central Manitoba	Okay -- 240 km/h (150 mph) in a Ford Custom 460 Interceptor police car in the late 70's on land most of the time. On water, not all that fast -- about 70 mph in a hydrofoil powered by a 454 Chevy. In the air, whatever a 747 or Airbus 330 will go. One day, soon I hope, I will be travelling to the ends of the universe in the blink of an eye. (1Thes 4:13-18) "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."

Between Australia and NZ one trip the captain's voice came over the speaker and informed us that we were traveling faster than we ever had or would likely ever travel again . We had a tailwind approaching 300 mph as I recall . I forget what our groundspeed was but 800 + comes to mind . Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

Remember taking my belt off, figuring that at those speeds it wasn't good for anything anyway. Amazing stupidity in any scenario, but the other two drunken teenagers and I thought it was most cool at the time. Bike: ~150 on a few makes and models. GSX-R 1100, Ninja 1000 and an old KZ 1000 with No2. My current bike's speedo goes to 160, but I've only had it to around 130 last year. There was plenty left in her, but realized I was being a donkey and backed off to something a lot less idiotic. Commercial jets don't count.
