Just how fast have you driven?

31 drafting a bus downhill on my Cannondale mountain bike

I got up to 65 mph on my road bicycle coming down from Kancamagus Pass in NH one time. Really made me nervous that I would over heat the rims from the hard braking and cause a tire to blow, so after the first time I never let the bicycle exceed 40 mph. The ride from Lincoln NH to the top of the pass is about 12 miles. 2.5 hours to pedal up and 20 minutes to coast down.

100 or so when stock, 3 inch lift and mt tires maybe 80. I did get 148 out of my performance pack tuned 2015 mustang with the 2.3 Too many other rides to remember the others.

175mph in a '85 De Tomaso Pantera on the Autobahn, 22 minutes from Mannheim to K-Town.... I was in a hurry. Got pulled over in Texas doing 130 in my 65 GTO, no ticket but did get the "Do you know how fast you were going boy!" speech. Now I don't drive any faster than my guardian angel can fly, and she is as old as I am.

130 in a 1987 Mazda RX-7(still room to go and smoothest ride to this day)
135-140 on a 1996 Kawasaki ZX-6R motorcycle(still room to go) Did this several times in a row, went home to change my shorts
55-57 on a Sea-Doo two person jet ski (riding solo) scared me more than the Kawasaki motorcycle

Buried the speedo at 160 on my 68 corvette. Also did 90 miles on I80 in Wyoming in 40 minutes. This was when I was a dumb kid and the speed limit at the time was 55.

Buried my Speedometer at whatever is past the 100MPH in my '73 Ford F150 with my built and tuned 410 Mercury Marauder Engine. I would drive 34 miles home in 14 minutes.

When I was younger and had a lot less sense.

Also used to mud drag and pull the sled at the county fair with that truck...

115 MPH on my old Kawasaki Mach III 500 triple, still a bit left, I lost my nerve, that bike was scary, 100 MPH in a 3.5 V8 Range Rover, (easy, comfy) 100 in a 1969 1600 CC Ford Capri, (hard, sat on the pedal for quite a while) 105 in my old 1981 Ford Bronco, - easy, 95 in a Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 - had heaps left to go I just ran out of road - that 3.5 quad cam engine was a gem.
Only done about 85 in my Ranger but heaps left, not bad considering it's a diesel, - getting old, and no where left to speed anymore.
600 in a Boeing 777 though
