Those rice riders usually give up at a little over 100mph. Just my experience. Bob never said that. Canoe Paddle Mike did.....

Just my experience. that may be, but that little 350 will get to 100 quick enough to stop and smoke a cigar waiting for the triple. and there aint no place on that road where ANY bike will hit 100 Rich "It's not always about going fast.
