Is the needle just stuck there now! or is there a top speed recall!

paull, Dec 8, 8:31am
haha whats for the critics,,,,, cool shot

sifty, Dec 8, 8:59am
does it go faster if you drop it from higher than 5000ft.!

jcwholesale, Dec 8, 9:06am
Yes but not alot. LOL.

Um and how did the picture get taken--Given the rider was haning on for dear life with desert bugs splattered all over his sunnies

It's called a Road King with a windscreen, about 20 miles of straight road which I pasted one car on, and of course a bit of foolishness on my part LOL

the-lada-dude, Dec 8, 11:20am
if you get outa 3rd and into 4th gear they go faster !

Amazing shutter speed to catch the speedo between vibrations!.

crzyhrse, Dec 8, 1:21pm
That's got to hurt.

gadgit3, Dec 8, 1:58pm
Oh I thought you had stopped and are using a recall funtion or do the curse and engine light come on oftten!

jcwholesale, Dec 8, 2:11pm
It was a rental and the engine light was on for about 7000 miles. LOL

sifty, Dec 8, 2:11pm
and if you trim your tassels and remove the plough attachment you can get an extra 10mph out of them.

matarautrader, Dec 8, 3:46pm
And taking the front end loader off is worth another 5mph!
Doing a petrol conversion from the deisel might help as well.

moosie_21, Dec 8, 3:47pm
lol, love you taking a downwards looking photo at 100 mph. Got balls boy!

You can see him in the fuel cap reflection (and instrument glass) hanging on for dear life to a camera!

tigertim20, Dec 8, 4:14pm
third!
an 04 R1 does over 100mph. Stock. In first gear.

jcwholesale, Dec 8, 5:21pm
WOW really LMAO, I'm impressed

dr.doolittle, Dec 8, 5:24pm
It's a trick.
You can see the lino in the background. Probably got a cordless drill going flat-out on the speedo cable.

therafter1, Dec 8, 5:25pm
Come on, credit where credit is due, anyone that is brave enough to let go of one handlebar on a rental Harley when slightly more than the imperial ton is showing on the speedo has got to have nuts ! . or be nuts LOL

therafter1, Dec 8, 5:32pm
For a second there I thought you were for real LOL

jcwholesale, Dec 8, 5:35pm
When your riding by yourself, no pillion, you get used to taking pics while riding. Many are blurry but some are good. The roads over there are big, with very little traffic.

richard198, Dec 8, 8:57pm
Makes a joke of the 60mph limit, eh!

the-lada-dude, Dec 9, 5:58am
is that peter fonda i can see !humming along to a stepp'n woolf tune !

jcwholesale, Dec 9, 6:38am
Depends where you are over there, most main highways are 65mph, & Interstates 70 or 75mph. If your not doing 75mph the trucks over take you, very big trucks. The cops don't mind you doing 10mph over anyway, completely different mind set over there, as apposed to the revenue gathering here.

richard198, Dec 9, 6:54am
I went across Interstate 80 amongst other roads and it has three different limits (65, 70 & 75) California is the slowest part. Really tedious on the long straight runs!
