I know bike speedometers are often somewhat optimistic and we don’t know what else was done to the bike in question so without radar, I figure somewhat less. The wheelie portion was awfully fast.

Stumbled into the TV show Pinks last night, and that’s the only way anyone would willingly get there, and watched two guys race for pink slips. They had an old Suzuki GS1100 I think and a Vrod. (Who would risk a Vrod against an old Suzuki?) Three races, best two out of three, winner [...]
