What's the fastest you've ever been on 2 or 4 wheels?

Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:28 pm

Managed to get 169mph out of my 2006 GSXR600 K6 on a stretch of road between trecastle and Llandovery! (bikers will know that straight!)

And passenger in my brother-in-laws lancer Evo MR-FQ320 doing 171mph from J28-29 (filmed the speedo too!)

Both 8 yrs ago!

f**k the po-leeeeeeece! :lol:

140 on the M4 on a Sunday afternoon, travelling to Cardiff to see Iron Maiden in 1984.
Me and a mate were in my 2 litre Ford Capri which had a twin choke webber carb :shock:

Later that year, I smashed it up, and have had pins in my legs and pelvis since :roll:

Fastest I've ever been was 189mph, achieved in my old 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo, on a empty runway in Bristol

That car was a monster! 480bhp!

Around 160 in a vauxhall 2.0 CDI had the valves reboored and a bit of tinkering with the computer and manifold. Not sure exact speed as I think the clock went upto 150 or 155. Beast of a car it was. Had 18inch alloys put on it and lowered, full closure this was about 15years ago on Ely link road.

On 2 wheels , I once did 110 mph in a long 30 mph zone. Got pulled over at the end of it. The copper nicked me for doing 80mph , I argued like f**k with him but he wouldn't increase my conviction to 110mph. He was a right tw*t , I really got it up to 110.

I don't go over the speed limit ever so only 70 miles per hour :old:

I think I must have ran faster than that though back in the 80s when Mr Jones came home early from work, I only had my boxers on for f**k sake.

:old: :old:
