I get asked that question more than any other except maybe How much did it cost. Well yesterday during my afternoon ride I got asked again and this time the guy doing the asking happened to be my neighbor who is a deputy sheriff. Thats our equiv- to a county cop. Anyway after a fairly long conversation about the bike and its legality he assured me that he wasn't going to bust me for anything, and in fact he wants to buy one himself, we desided to test it out. So we took his patrol car down to the nearest flat stretch of road and he clocked me at 34mmph on the hand held gun and 36mph on the in car equipt. I made two passes and the results were about the same. Now that was sitting upright and not laying down on the tank like I used to ride years ago so you could prob. squezze a few more mph out of it considering wind resistance etc. Also you gotta realize that I weigh 250lbs. so I'd say that 35 average is not to shabby. Now I reallllllly want the 36 tooth sprocket and have started droping change in an old jar to save up for it. ................. T inWV
