If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

According to the 1980 spec speedo, 85 mph. Beyond that speed, humans spontaneously combust.

Re: speed
Again, as I've stated in another thread. Phil, I ALWAYS obey the posted speed limit. That's it. So, my GS will do 60, as that is the highest posted speed limit I've come across. :wink:
Right Earl? :wink: :wink: 8) 8)
Ok, fun's over, I've been to 105, yet with my older tires. It started to wobble a bit. 8O
With my New tires, I've hit 100 and all was well, but I've no desire to go faster. I've had a bit of throttle left. I just don't really have the street to test it on.

I actually do obey the speed limits, But those open roads in lower Mississippi are just to inviting to stay at 55.
I can do that in 1st!

My GS750L's spedo goes to 140. I was flyin on it yesterday! I glanced down at my speed and it clearly read 22 mph. In other words, I was nearly going the legal limit for that stretch (25 mph). That's the fastest I've had it up to so far.
Seriously 8O

After finally getting the new clutch, tires, chain, pipe, jet kit, and K&N filter installed I just had to get the ol' bike out and let her rip. I got up to just over 150 on the interstate before I ran into some traffic and backed down. Didn't have much left from there so I can't imagine it'd go much faster.
