On the Low Rider 100 to 105 abouts by myself, It had more but i was done. 100 with the wife on the back once so she could say she did.110 on the Ultra by myself, not very long mind you, just enough to glance, see it and be done. Do 90+ pretty regular so it wasn't all that big a deal. With all the fairings on the Ultra 100 comes real fast and it doesn't even feel like you're doing it.

I've had my new RG up to 100 a couple of times for a short distance. it really runs pretty good at speed.Today coming back north from Miami on I95 Traffic was very heavy but the HOV lane was about empty. I locked the Cruise at 90 and ran about 30 miles. Ran into one stretch of grooved pavement that caught my attention but it was over before I could react. Not to give the wrong impression I usually abide by the speed limits when possible. On I95 traffic generally moves between 85 and 95 with a 65 mile limit. if you try to do the speed limit (65) they will run you off the road. Don't like trucks passing me. You gotta be passing them.

My Heritage was as stable at 100 as it was at 70. Just did it once to say I saw the other side. This was riding two up. My bride of 30 years asked me why I didn't push it harder. GAWD I love that girl.

I got my springer up to 60 once. My lips flapped in the breeze (yeah I know, I got loose lips) so bad I thought I was gonna loose my teeth so I only ride 50/55 max now. Scared the daylights out of me about to loose my expensive teeth.......

105 on my old Ironhead (just wanted to see what it could do[:-]) and 95 so far on my Dyna on a trip home from work up I-287 in NJ last year.
