I used to ride '01 F4i with high mount carbon fiber slip on

It REALLY IS that easy to go THAT FAST

and that was "only" a 600.

I was very stupid back then but after a new sprocket I wanted to test out top speed on I-75 in Brandon area and went 174 (in 70)

Thank God I grew up before I got killed or killed someone else

Then you have all the other costs that come with a dui that make it more. Like DUI School, probation, couseling, and so on.
I guess going fast kills more people than DUIs, good to know.

They are testing it in the UK, they have GPS trackers that will know the limit of the road. Once you hit the speed limit your car won't go any faster.

I know what you mean bro, I know a dude whos Mom's sister's uncle's kid's neighbor's mom's brother's dog Rusty got killed by a drunk driver. It was very sad...
