Well I'm watching my figure so I'd say two. Sugar cookies please, no sprinkles.



On topic, even though speeding on a motorcycle is fun, doing it on ramps isn't wise. Just the chance of the rear wheel sliding out and hitting the gaurd rail/trees/etc makes me not want to speed on them.

point taken about dumping your bike on a ramp, but some of these riders are crazy as hell, and i was just curious on what numbers they hit..and come over later for the "sugar" cookies

which onramp? Did 70+mph in the Cobra around the 264E to Independence N onramp while following a friend in his Formula. Been a lot faster on the longer onramps.

The Harley isn't a great handling bike but can average around 60 - 65mph on the cloverleaf ramps.

I usually take it easy on the ramps, you never know where that line of gravel is.

I don't know maybe this isn't wise maybe it is but being that i live in a place where on off ramps are some of the only curves i can find i get pretty low on them. I have 1/8 inch chicken strips. Every on/off ramp is different though and if it looks like shit i won't try no crazy shit.
