Tonne Up Tommies - the lot of ya!

I hit the limiter once, just to see what happens, it kind of felt like a stall, for lack of a better description. I don't know exactly what the speedometer said, it was on top of 110 mph when I looked down. I was too busy hanging on and paying attention to the road to watch the speedometer carefully enough to read it exactly.

I had several fast bikes, (very fast for their day), when I was young, none of them had a speed limiter, (it would have been unthinkable). Now, I don't care about the speed limiter, I knew about it when I purchased the bike. Truth is, when I was riding for speed, it was the acceleration that I found more thrilling. Although I very regularly saw the "ton", I only occasionally topped my bikes out.

Now I like just going for a relaxed ride, I am more than content to keep it within say, 10 mph or so of the speed limit.
