My rack starts the farting at around 80 mph.

FYI I weigh about 175 and have stood up in the rack before with no ill
side effects.  Keep in mind I did NOT stand in the center but kept my feet
near the edges.  I think the 125lbs limit is keep adverse effects on
handling to a minimum.

Peace,

Chris.
