How about we start telling them faster than you can possibly conceive. Cause that is a matter of persective and those that have seen 160-180 know that speed is logrythmic. What will bend your mind at 100 will totally warp you at 150.

I cracked it to 140 The other day, I got a little gunshy which Is surprising (But a good thing when I really sit back and think about it)
I would do 160 In a heartbeat before and not even think twice...So for me to get antsy when I cracked into her for the first time this season means I still carry respect for the bike (and always will, when you lose the respect you shouldnt ride anymore)

Speed desensitizes you too. I know if you see it often enough it feels normal. Cant tell you how many times coming home from the races that I braked for a light and that 1500 series truck didn't want to stop. From just 45-55.
Seemed as if I was doin 20. And then there is the whole sudden stop thing. Stopping in a tire wall at 60 feels like 200 fo sho. God help me if I ever hit one at 150

Back in 02 when I had my blue SVS, idiots would roll up to me and say nice R6 or nice R1 just because of the color.
