My BN1, with a pair of H6's, a shiny valve cover and who knows what else,
was on it's way to 100. But, at about 95 my right arm was beaten nearly to
a pulp, by my female passenger and I had to give it up. Actually she was
watching the GPS at the time. It was a nice straight road, early in the
morning on a July Tennessee day, probably only 80F at the time. I do recall
that at about 70 I flipped the OD and got a nice kick in the butt from it :)
No doubt in my mind that with the windscreen down and one less passenger it
would have done over a ton. It did get very light in the front end at that
speed, very little driver input was needed to keep it in line, hiccups would
have put me in a ditch.
