just topped her out

Just went on a 2 hour drive with my friend on his R1. Actually found some winding roads here (rare). On the way back on I75 I passed him and topped my zzr600 out. WOT and 172 reading on speedo. So that's between 154 and 163 actual (10-5% inaccuracy, probably more towards the 10%).

That was crazy. And humbling (that is, I was wide open throttle and topped out, as my friend on an '05 R1 speeds past at a 15mph difference).

At least I got rid of some more of the new-tire sheen on the sides of my back tire!

when i topped mine out it indicated 171 with the wind at my back. It was fast and i don't think i need to go that fast again tho.

yeah it's not an everyday thing for me. Scary. Pretty ensured death if something happens.
