I'll admit 110mph is more than I expected to hit, but remember I started behind him, & had to get infront of another truck, & change lanes before I could floor it to catch/beat 'em. I was just not in the mood to let him throw his $#@% around like that just, because he saw a Mustang. Honestly I've had my bike to 179 about 8 times on this bike, & have been riding at fast speeds for years, so 110mph is really nothing to me. 119mph is my 2nd gear on my Gixxer. Evenstill, I'm very proud of my Stang <edited><editID>GSXRIntensity</editID><editDate>37817.7102314815</editDate></edited>

This is a perfect time to introduce a perfect alternative to this kind of stupidity.

My bike averages 36mpg on 4.6L tank. $6.00 is good to go for 140+ miles usually. More on the highway, less with WOT.</P>
Regarding the bystanders. I don't open up WOT just anywhere. At this recent situation, I was on a major road (US 41 if it matters) @ 11pm on Sunday night. Nobody in their right mind crosses that highway due to 4 or more lanes. And on the bike...speed comes a lot faster, and can be stopped a lot quicker. It's more dangerous than in a car, but I accepted the risks of riding when I started. I've lost friends to it...I am WELL AWARE of the dangers, so Jeep don't preach to me about how I handle my machine. I have thus far been a decent judge of timing when and when not to race.</P>
If it'll make anyone feel better. I race legit too. CCS baby!!</P>

I care about those that had no choice to become involved, like that truck you had to pass. If you had a blow out then, slammed into the passenger door, and wound up killing a mother, your view would drastically change.
Go stay in the ER of any Level 1 Trauma Hospital for a couple hours. I had to when I fell asleep at totaled my car. The ER stopped taking patients since they were putting 2~3 people in a room to work on.
The guy I was stuffed in with kept asking about his buddy Kevin. Winds up Kevin was in the driver's seat of his car, they were racing, took out another car, and killed 2 people in a car that didn't want jack s**t to do with them.
Do <FONT size=6>NOT</FONT> try at tell me to quit preaching. I will continue to speak out against this kinda s**t and the morons attempting to justify their actions as long as I have to. <edited><editID>mustangforums</editID><editDate>37818.3904976852</editDate></edited>
