170+ on the way home from the ring last year.

You get some nice big gaps along the bonnet sides at that speed.

IIRC 142 in my old wagon @ TOTB a few years back

Saw 165 on the way down to the Bol d'Or on my GSXR750 then looked in my mirror to see my m8 on his 'Blade keeping pace 2 ft to the right of my rear wheel

The Bol was an absolute hoot -250,000 bikers all descending on the Paul Ricard Circuit for the weekend which meant for me (+ m8) over 200 miles fro Lyon down averaging 130 mph+ in & out the traffic as the police were just not bothered lol

Completely mad experience
