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

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