I personally will never not trust my gut feeling.

    You can do this in relative safety on a racetrack though. Doing this anywhere else is risking turning yourself and others into hamburger meat.

        Do you still do 105 now though? If so, you’re still dumb and a danger to others on the road. I limit myself to a 250cc just so I dont get any stupid ideas

          The bike I own now won’t even go that fast. It maxes out around… I’m not sure tbh because it doesn’t have a speedometer, but I’m guessing around 85 mph. It’s geared for the dirt, so max speed isn’t much of a consideration. Back then I was riding an R1, and 105 is just the flick of the wrist on those things. I haven’t owned a superbike since my mid-twenties.
