Default "Whats The Fastest You've Been on that Thing?"

So Who Hates Getting Asked this? And Does anyone have a good story behind the Question being asked??

I must hear it At LEAST 3 times if I'm out all day riding in between my stops.

I was leaving work the other day getting gas and my Own associate asked me.. I told him I never broke 85 On it...

So, How often do you get asked when your out and about?? And what do you tell people

I've heard that question a lot. I usually say 70 which is the max highway speed here. They look at me like I'm full of shit, but I won't incriminate myself ever. I will however talk about going fast with guys I ride with.

I don't get asked that anymore, thank god, I still get the wheelie shit though.

I use to make a reference to spaceballs and say I've gone plaid or something else as equally stupid as the question.

Wheelies are pretty damn fun, i just don't like doing them on command. I usually do them when no one is around so if I fuck up I can say I low sided in some gravel or some other shit.

I say the speed limit too. I get annoyed with the question but it's not the worst. I mean, they just don't know and are curious.
