Nah - not been on any roads today where you can do that sort of speed and safely post it on a public forum.

Trackday....

Indeed - I'm sure that anyone posting up has been on an autobahn, visited the IOM, done a trackday (with a loooooong straight) or similar.
I was out on mine but never managed to take any of those in.

Friday morning, en route to a hospital appointment (had to use the bike, left it late & had forgotten to have car MOT'd).
A5, near Shrewsbury. Whilst overtaking sort of quicklyish (just short of 3 figures), driver of car in opposite direction suddenly decides to overtake; estimated closing speed 160 - 170. Does that count?
Was rather glad it was only my hand that was to be examined.

I have done 145 ONCE and the road ahead was coming at me way to fast
I could not handle a prison cell either
The thought of a guy with a pink hat wanting me to pick the soap up does not appeal
80-85 mph i tend to find suits me
