It's the State of Arizona.

That explains alot.  I live in a state of confusion.

It's the State of Arizona. I was ticketed, multi citations (4 speeding, unsafe lane change, reckless endangerment, failing to stop for police officer last two were dropped by the Majestrate) on that same stretch last spring to the tune of  $1852.00.

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done 120 mph on my 2004 FLHTCSE with a 103ci engine with no problem nor a wobble one.

[sportygordy]

This is the best I can do. Speedo says 103. My Passenger shot this pic going through the Virgin Gorge in Utah. Or is that North Nevada? Close to Saint George anyways.
Oil presure looks good. Oil temp 240, perfect.

101.1 Thats oldies but goodies here in Sacramento... I love it  How about a shot of your Garmin Speed record taken from your Garmin historical data. I think your picture post would top the existing Garmin shot of 122MPh.

The current high speed recall in my Garmin is only 76. That was from my Suzuki Tracker on a dirt road in Williams, Az.
I'll work on it.

I think that's normal for the 04 and 05 SEEGs.  I get it up there and the rest of the Nor Cal guys are right there with me.

it really is pretty simple, some bikes track straighter than others but these new frames...wow, my '06 road king was pretty good; my '01 ultra was great but at 95 cid not a really good 100+ high speed bike for long runs until the baker dd6 brought the rpm down; my '07 SE ultra was lousy with the wobble, a very scary ride in the high two to say nothing of the three digit range; my '09 SE ultra is incredible, no problem with high speeds 110+, 2-up feet on the highway pegs fully loaded, traveling down the interstate, but it is also a very stable ride at reasonable speeds just tooling down the two lanes...I love this bike...told the wife if we ever split I am marrying the harley.

Just an FYI, max speeds reported on a GPS may not always be accurate.  They can burp out a higher than real speed because of the math they do to generate a speed report.  Can happen if there's a quick loss of signal between two points or for a variety of other reasons.

If the report seens seems reasonable it probably is.  If it's enough to make you think "hmmm, did I really go that fast; you probably didn't."

under EC-law vehicle speedometers must show minimum 5 % or 5 km/h more than the actual speed. That's not applicable for speed-readings on a GPS. So if your GPS-unit shows about 5 % less speed than the bikes speedometer both are quite likely to be reading "correct" and actual speed will probably be shown on the GPS (with good satelite connection shown and at stable speed). If the speed-reading on the GPS-unit is errand, it usually shows less and not more - our neighbours in Czech Republic quite frequently have radar-speed readings in their towns so I could check this a couple of times.

I once reached 205 km/h (i.e. 127 mph and probably 120 "real" mph) on full flight evading a thunderstorm from Berlin to Dresden with my old 103 FLHRCI. It was not really comfortable but kept me dry  

180 km/h (i.e. 105 mph actual speed) has proven a good compromise between comfort and speed on german highways without speed-limit.

I hit 4600rpm in 6th today. I dont know how fast thatis but the needle was past the 120 by quite a bit. I was on it for a few miles.

way to go, had to be close to 140

[infanterene]

I dont think my bike will do 140, I wish it would though. I think I was doing 130ish. Its hard to look at the gauges while tucking down, vibrating, whatching where the sportbike is in relation to me and most importantly watching the road.

I am pretty sure that the rev counter was reading 4600 rpm. Does that really equate to 140 mph?

[PR3VS56]

126.1 (the speedo would read 131.3) with a 25.71" diameter rear tire.  What's your tire size, I'll tell you exactly.

[infanterene]

180/55B18

[PR3VS56]

180/55B18

= 26.20" diameter.  New tire, 128.5 mph @ 4600 rpm in 6th. 

26" diameter (assuming some wear), 127.5 mph.  Speedo would read 133.

Faster than I want to go!
