In reply to the discussion: Motorcyclist travels 166 MPH on Thruway [View all]I think you are correct re testosterone vs equipment... also age. Haha... I have been known to push my wagon into triple digits, though not in the city and not in traffic, and not with anyone with me. Much younger, and in a different wagon I did a lot of dumb stuff, at speeds way too high for anything resembling safety, or sanity.
I am biased against the rockets for a lot of reasons. I hate the way they look, I hate the way they sound especially, and I hate how many (though not all) of their owners behave. I still wouldn't get on a Harley and go for a ride, but I do love the sound of them.... the deep throaty sound vs the high pitched whine of the Japanese bikes. I suspect I would fit in better with a harley gang than a street racer swarm too. LOL
