Monthly Moderate Ride - Sunday Aug 11 - NOT AT SONIC

[Stardog]

Super Sports is strictly based on production bike and gearing (the # of front and rear sprocket teeth, engine rpm rev limiters, and wheel sizes) only allow for a Max speed of 165 MPH. Where the big differences come in is in things like acceleration in the different gears and how effectively you use them.

Ahh, Rev limit and gearing. That is simple and relatively uncheatable. Makes sense. I know a very successful circle track racer who has told me many times that "There are cheaters and losers, and I don't like to lose". So I wonder about these things.

My bike's speedo doesn't go higher than 150. The governor kicks in a tiny bit after that. Hypothetically. I don't actually go that fast. Hear that, 77?

It's hilarious.

Fine. I can do stuff. Prepare for stuff to happen and stuff.

[Stardog]

This is not funny.

If it makes you feel better indicated and actual are 2 very different speeds. 150 is probably more like 135 and 162 is probably more like 145. Now THAT's funny.

Take it easy 77, we made 82 behave. We all laughed at him for being whipped, but he behaved.

Karma's a bitch giving 82 a hard time, I go and jump on my bike for the first time since Sunday and my tire is flat
