Done the Ton?
Ever since I started riding bikes nearly 50 years ago I have made it a point to go the ton (100 mph) at least once on each bike I've owned that had the potential to do so. I've done it on Triumphs, BSA's, Hondas, an Ariel Square Four, Nortons, and Royal Enfields.
After break-in, I took my '05 XL1200R up to what the speedometer said was 105 mph. I don't know the speedo's error at that speed, but it certainly had more in it when I backed down at that point. Just wondering if anyone else has my perverted need to go the ton at least once on each bike they've owned.
