66,627 mph, plus 100-110 mph or so, depending upon one's perspective.

I don’t get it. Maybe you could clue me in.

Don't let that distract you from the fact that In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The  A-Team.

Speed depends upon perspective, in relation to other objects:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-fast-is-the-earth-mov/
"the earth is moving about our sun in a very nearly circular orbit. It covers this route at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per second, or about 67,000 miles per hour"

 8)   Sometimes seems faster, others times not so fast.  Some days have no clue where we are, how we got there, or where we are going but we are making darn good time.

the bike i traded in for my 19 cvo was a 16 cvo street glide with a built 124 motor. i was paced by a zx14 doing 150. i ran out of room on the highway (cars) but felt it was still pulling so once i got more room again i hammered down and got to 153. then the death wobble happened. handlebars were going side to side very violently until i got it down to 70ish and it stopped. all my friends behind me slowed down so they wouldnt run me over. never went that fast again on that harley nor do i think i will attempt that again. i seriously thought i was dead.
The big man upstairs was looking out for you! I went down at a very high rate of speed on an ultra for pretty much the same thing and it was a miracle that I survived and recovered to ride again!

And I used to live on a road that was so curvy, one night I ran down my battery honking at my tail lights.

Have used this for comparison purposes, since about 1975:
Q - What Is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow?
A - The average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.

It gets complicated if trying to compare European vs African swallows, is best to avoid that.

Are you sure east is slower? I'm thinking it should be faster going east.
