The other day I hit either 130 or 140 KMPH (I can't remember which). That translates to either 80 or 86 MPH.

Of course this was downhill with a substantial run up and probably a tailwind. Still this is not too bad for a 21 year old Air Cooled... but just wait until I do my dream 911 conversion.

Thanks,
Chris
