) and I wish I could have gone faster 
I'd cruise at 100mph all day if the cops would let me. Newer sport bikes are so smooth and stable, they make you want to speed. Now I know it's a death wish, so I don't need an lectures, but it's fun and I do the speed limit for the most part. I just like to open it up every now and then. I do hear you about the wind though.. I don't always have the fly screen on my FZ1 and the wind at anything above 100 gets a little crazy. On an XS650.... 65mph is just fine. They keep you going the speed limit.
Was just maybe saving him some money and hassel since no one answered his post.......All right I got the hint....
It's not the speed, it's just the wind. I'm 6'5", it's a standard, so wind hits me about mid stomach, and i'm a huge sail for 3 feet above that. I was talking more sustaining that speed vs quick blips up to pass. It's just annoying and uncomfortable to hang on to the bars. I usually cruise around 125kph in the slow lane on the a-roads around here. And yeah, one of the reasons i like the xs650 is because it's "slow", compared to a modern bike. Not that i'm afraid of the speed - quite the opposite actually. But we've got laws up here about 50kph over the posted limit and they take your vehicle/license away for 2 weeks an up to 10k fine. I'd rather avoid that.
He's a mechanic. That's what they do. "move it about a hair more. No, that was too far, move it back an **** hair". Then of course, a red *** hair being an even smaller measurement, since redheads typically have finer hair.
. Also, agreed. I prefer the Brazilian way. So much nicer. It's like the difference between a really ratty bike and beautiful well built bike.
Now THAT'S funny! Nicknamed an ex of mine "Pergo" for that very reason. Good times... Good times...
