Did you use glue and lots of long screws to make sure it is securely fastened.

185 is slow considering the traffic in some places.
I got passed recently while doing 150 by a girl who looked all of 20 and i am sure was doing 200 or more.

My son meet me at the end of the driveway when I got home from work tonight. His chain on his bike had come off. So I turned it over to put the chain back on and, as I was turning the pedal I noticed it wasn't turning smoothly. So I took it into the garage and took the pedals of and pulled everything apart. When I got the bearing out and inspected them I see that the race that holds the bearings in place is made out of tin. They look so flimsy and I am so tired of buying stuff that is made by the lowest bidder.

Happy Saturday mornin'all. Heavy frost this am. Going to put up the snow fence today. (don't be scared, just being pro active) It's sunny, and supposed to get to 9C. A lot better than putting it up at 0C windy, and overcast. Have a great weekend guy's.
Can a chopper go 150?
. My old Nissan 300ZX Turbo could could easily hit 160+. Crazy thing to do, but I was young, sort of. Got rid of that one when Jordan was born.

Morning boys... Speed...isn't worth talking about until you're nearing 300km/h. I had a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 sportbike, which at the time was the fastest production motorcycle available. On the highway between Calgary and Red Deer I pushed it to the limit at 185 MILES PER HOUR. This is where the governor kicked in. The earliest models didn't have the governor, but when Suzuki aired a promotional video of the bike passing a Porsche 911 on the autobahn (the speedo on the Porsche was showing just a shade under 300km/h I believe), Porsche pushed the authorities to place a legal limit on the motorcycles also. This being said, I'm glad I didn't become a statistic, and promise to never go that fast on land again... 
Very frosty this am... Stacking some wood from last weekend...
Have a good one fellas!!!

I was on the hwy in my car.
Was funny watching how fast she was coming up on me in my mirrors.
That hwy has so little traffic that she just gentle puled into the other lane, went around me, and back to her lane.
Most highways here have ridiculously low posted max speeds.
They are commonly ignored.
If on a hwy i don't see 185 as any big deal.
Remember we are talking kns here not mph.
Now 185 mph is moving along pretty quickly.

Maybe its me, i just do not see why a person doing a measly 185 even made the news.
If they were doing 585 kms/hr that would be news worthy
Mostly that is news worthy because it woukd have to be incredibly powerful and extremely aerodynamic.
That would be a fun car
