in a Porsche...not much. On a Honda CBR 900RR crotch rocket... 170 mph flat-out on a public highway, running from the New Mexico Highway Patrol.

I'll admit I was pretty stupid in my younger days.

It's not the speed or the acceleration that kills you, it's the sudden deceleration! I am sure you've heard it before.

About 2 years ago I was crusin in about that same spot on a sunday .I had my wifes SC430 crusin abut 85 mph.(we usuallyhave that shipped to Fl. for the winter) I had my passport S2 solo on when I noticed state police in the breakdown lane .I slowed down but no sounds were coming from the detector when I passed them so I speeded up . In about another 1/4 mile I got pulled over and he ripped me a new ***----- . he told me how I slowed down and speeded back up and also told me my radar dectector wasn't worth a **** when planes are being used.He gave me a ticket for the speed I was doing . (no reduction)
