TFC Flat Out

If you strip down to just swim trunks and lay prone on the fuel injected 2500cc TFC, you might reach 150mph like Rollie Free did in 1950 on a 1000cc Vincent V-twin with carburetors.
 
....for me...its the torque...nothing like feeling that pure grunt!...like being in a v8 from take off!!...or being in a 737 as it powers on....love it!...if someone whistles passed me at when im sitting on 180kph....so what?...dosnt faze me...i'm still grinning from the take off feeling.
 
ton My feeling and experience exactly Had a Ram Hemi half ton try to pass me over double yellow lines just as a speed limit increased from 60 to 100 kph. I hauled on it, left him gawking but he gave me the bird as I finally let him pass. Yeah, I know I gotta behave but just sometimes
 
I bought a used 1969 Triumph Trident back in the early 1970s... Riding it home to Seattle right after I bought it, I really cracked the throttle wide open and was thrilled. I became even more "thrilled" when I let off the throttle but the throttle didn't actually close and it continued to accelerate way too fast. Holy crap! WTF?!? After I got into triple digits, I finally realized I was going for a ride I really didn't want and hit the kill switch. I coasted into the breakdown lane on I-5 and after wishing I had a change of underwear, I checked and found out the previous owner had put some kind of unknown wiring job too close to the throttle bar for the carbs. The wire had gotten got caught under the throttle bar and kept it wide open... Being thankful I didn't have diarrhea to highlight my response to the incident, I drove home somewhat chastened and then cut off the offending wiring after I couldn't find a reason for it.
 
And I thought all the Canadian police still rode horses
