I await some fantastic ( in both senses ) results.

Go on, what was half the speed then?
|
|
By:
I'm afraid around 120mph, i was a proper idiot then. I don't have licence now, looking for pass it again and drive normally, speeding on roads is stupid.
|
|
By:
70 mph

By:
Not very sensible in a 30MPH zone...

115mph on a Honda Fireblade in Thailand. Not very clever. Especially given that I didn't have a license, and it was only my third day ever on a bike. The folly of youth!

147 mph going to Liverpool to make the start of Palace match. We lost 9-0
 I didn't feel comfortable doing that speed it must be said but I had to get there on time. |

How much did NASA charge you for loan of an engine, Slippy ?
|
|
By:
about 25000mph, if you include the solar system's velocity across the galaxy.

 I'm not a speed merchant guinness dear fellow, we had the music playing and I didn't realise what I was doing, the engine seemed quiet to me. Anyway, at least I can say I was at Anfield when Palace lost 9-0. we missed a penalty when 8 nil down |

Ahhh quiet engine - Roller ? |

By:
110mph following my mate on the road to Anglesey so I wouldn't get lost. Had blown the O rings off my exhaust by the time I got there.

My first car was a Morris Ital. I remember doing about 95mph in it. It must have been about 8 on the Richter scale in the car. The vehicle was shaking like a cheap washing machine on a turbo charged final spin cycle.
Anything over 50mph was a gamble with life |

Amongst footballers, the quickest i remember is Milan Baros at 170mph on a motorway near Lyon. He gifted a full year of jokes for journalists comparing his speed on roads and on pitch
|
|
By:
137mph on a Kawasaki ZX6R from London to Guildford down the A3, not a road to be doing that speed on. dips, bends potholes, idiots going too fast. Still, has to be done at least once.

105 getting towed in a Clio by a mate in his Cartlon GSI, I didn't have much say in the matter
 It'd been in a garage and the servo had lost power or something, when he stopped at the lights after the motorway, I pressed the brake and it just went to the foor, managed to fling the wheel to the left and pulled up next to him on the grass verge  |

By:
134 on a suzuki dl 1000 downhill on the m62 around the leeds area. The bike isnt designed for that sort of speed, done it and wouldnt do it again.

speed merchants on a gamblers forum. Would never have expected that!
|

By:
128 m.p.h. on the A2, passing the Black Prince Interchange, about 30 years ago
It wasn't my car  |
|
By:
138 mph on the M6 toll rd for me. Some gary boy in a Ford Escort Cosworth decided to take me on...I won pulling away.
|
|
By:
114mph going to Grimsby for work (quicker you get there the quicker you escape). Dual carriageway and I see a clapped out Escort (was a few years back) pull into my lane.
Judder, judder, judder on the brakes. By the time I'd got behind him, he was doing 54. |

fukin nutters. what if a cat had been crossing the road at the time you were speeding!!!!

No point speeding these days or in having a fast car, apart from joy of ownership and
the ability to accelerate rapidly. You can pass a slow driver, and put half a mile between you, and invariably they are right behind you again at the next obstruction (and you can guess what they are saying)! Speed wise this is one that I'm not very proud of:- An indicated 90mph downhill, on the A64, with the valves bouncing. This was in a Ford Anglia (Harry Potter) with three family members on board! That car wasn't safe at seventy, on the flat, with it's narrow track and skinny cross plies! Did an indicated 116 mph on the M1 in my Ginetta G15. That felt seriously fast as the car was very low and with a really firm suspension. On a deserted M62 I did 138 in my E-Type. Same deserted stretch, did 142 in my 6 MPS and there was plenty still to come. Best of all was pulled up for allegedly doing 126 in my TR6 early one morning on the M1. The coppers thought it was hilarious. One took the opportunity to have a smoke, and after much admiring of the car I was told to fekking watch out in future! These days they read you your rights if, you have a brake light out! |

By:
76 on the M4 down to Plymouth, I'm not proud of it and if there's any mitigation it was that it was a deserted 4am. I was in such a hurry as I had to get down there to run over a cat.
|
|
By:
Kenny is not going to like that.....!
|
|
By:
me neither. Shirley the M3/A303 is the best route to Plymouth?
|
|
By:
M4, M5, A38 as any fule kno, your way if you're towing a caravan or wear string-back gloves.
|
|
By:
conceded
|
|
By:
22 miles shorter to go down the A303.....approx. £5.20 cheaper in fuel....a month's supply of pile cream....are you mad...!
|
|
By:
also if you're towing an Emmet box at 40mph, the A303 must be great for forming a fecking great tail back.
 |
|
By:
Emmet box....googled it....nothing....spelling....?
|
|
By:
Emmet = grockle.
|
|
By:
Ah yes ...
. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmet_(Cornish) It is commonly thought to be derived from the Cornish-language word for ant, being an analogy to the way in which both tourists and ants are often red in colour and appear to mill around. However the use of 'emmet' to mean ants is actually from the Cornish dialect of English and is derived from the Old English word æmete from which the modern English word ant, is also derived (compare Modern German Ameise [ant]). The Cornish word for ant is actually moryonenn (pl. moryon) Grockle : A very old word of uncertain origin common for centuries in the New Forest area of Hampshire for people from outside it. In more recent times it has spread to other parts of the south coast and indeed elsewhere, including the former colonies of Northern and Southern Rhodesia as a term for a foreigner. Imported to the Isle of Man in 1970 by Capt McKenzie who had learned the word in Plymouth. Commonly referred to tourists in cars who can be easily identified because all Manx number plates have either MN or MAN in them. It has also been said to have derived from the eponymous dragon in the obsolete The Dandy comic strip "Danny and his Grockle", popularised by the movie The System.[1] However its use in the New Forest area and local areas of Dorset and Wiltshire is well-attested by long-term residents of those areas. |

Yeah, thanks for sharing.

It would be a waste to google and not bring to chit chat...

By:
Not actually all that fast, but the most recklessly I've driven is bombing down the A31 between Guildford and Winchester. Absolutely lethal stretch of road.
|
|
By:
I don't like driving fast. Never have, even as a youngster. And I can't bloody stand it as a passenger.
I would guess, on occasions where my concentration has wandered somewhat, I may have drifted up to 110mph or thereabouts. |
|
By:
so so long ago my first ton on a T110 **** up as a cafe racer, clip ons, glass fibre tank - lethal - ha ha down hill rattle rattle !!!! so few cars on the road in those days - bike heaven - it's a wonder any of us survived then!!!
