How fast have you ridden your Rocket III?

[Xchoppers]

The main thing our bikes have going for them is power and torque.
It's only logical to "test" them.
So, ... How Fast Have You Ridden your Rocket III?
I would set this up as a poll to make tallying the results easier and more interesting but that option is not available within my user permissions.

I'll start.
I have seen 140 MPH as indicated by the stock Triumph speedo.
I'm sure it is largely optimistic.
Probably closer to 129 actual. (-8%)
I recently set up a mount for my GPS so I'll have to check it the next time I'm feeling the urge...

Your answers should be fun

Topped out a "few times". I think thats 140 on the stock speedo with no motor mods, so whatever that is in reality (-8%)?

 

[KingOfFleece]

Indicated 120. Ran out of guts!

 

[sullyjones]

146 on the gps , way off the clock

I have seen 140 MPG as indicated by the stock Triumph speedo.

Wow what are you doing to get that kind of mileage?

I have buried a corrected via Tuneboy speedo at 140. Both with and without a Corbin Fleetliner BTW.

I got my 1st one up to 130 indicated on the speedo. This one 110 when the pucker factor got to me. No screen makes this interesting indeed since I was hit with something at 50 that hit my helmet and bounced off my shoulder and imagined what my expression would have been with out my gear.

146 mph according to dot radar sign.

........Downhill, with a tailwind and 100 pounds of air in the tires.........

 

[boogerdave]

Strictly 75 mph tops. I am a law abiding citizen . . . . . .

 

[boogerdave]

Ok . . maybe 130 just once. I had to slow down though because of the woman beating on my back yelling SLOW DOWN!!!
