Not this boy... I'm no racer, which is why racing on the Autobahn was so much fun. Straight, smooth, and wide. No knee-dragging or peg burying. Just insanely high speed riding. Never gone that fast before or since, and never will! In fact,
these days motorcycle manufacturers have gotten together and agreed to instal 'limiters' on almost all 'recreational' motorcycles. Although speedometers might show speeds as high as 180mph (290kph) on some 'go fast' bikes, they actually won't go higher than about 125-130mph (200kph) before the limiters kick in and disengage the drivetrain.
Pretty wise on their part.
