Has it occurred to any of you that the original post was made almost 18 months ago?

@syobwoc: please don't go crawling around in the basement ... try to stick the the threads that are recent. Thanks!

Mannn... you guys are lucky being able to go that fast... tell me... whats it like?

I bet its pretty exhilarating... I live in the Los Angeles area, and here most of the time I'm out I have my left foot planted down and the clutch engaged...

Yeah every once in a while I get to hauling ***... but just as I'm starting to enjoy myself... you guessed it, right back down into first gear it goes..

You just need to find the right roads. LA is full of surprises! Not that I would ever consider speeding!

A cruiser is built for comfort, not for speed. Period.

If you want to go FAST, then buy a 'Busa or Gixxer 1000 and take it out on the track.

Oh, but it's my kind of cruiser/ sport tourer too!

I guess I'm an old guy, I don't ride much faster than I drive. (Which may be in excess of the posted, but you'll have a hard time proving it.) I also may be a little quicker on the throttle though, only because I can supposedly be a little impatient. Whatever.

I'm the same way, old and slow, but in LA you drive fast when you have the opportunity! I seem to find lots of opportunities!

But in Phoenix, you get to go ride "The Devils Highway", sweet ride!
