Is it available on YouTube? How fast did you ever take it? No, not on Youtube. lol! Amazing clarity & definition on the screen in his saddlebag, tho. Fortunately both he & the uniformed motor guy who actually wrote the ticket were very cool. In fact, they were both former German Fallschirmjaeger & I just so happen to speak German at the level of a native born highschool grad. They gave me a smoke, told "war stories", checked out my bike & bemoaned that they couldn't do that kinda stuff with their bikes. What could've been an outrageously expensive ticket, was written off as a "passing in a no-passing zone" & a $75 fine. I had it up to 155mph, indicated, on the Autobahn a few times. It had more in it, but at ~155mph, I no longer had the attention span to watch both the gauges AND the road & man, does stuff happen in a hurry at that speed.

Been a bit north of 135mph for a few miles.
Concentration solely on the road condition & feeling the feedback from the bike. Felt strong & stable.
Didn't glance at the gauges until I let off & saw the needle cross 135 on it's way down.
Good times!

Had a truck pull out in front of me on a two lane while i was doing 99 mph. Nothing in oncoming lane (only real option) so turned out ok, but definitely got my attention fast.

I was going to post a couple pictures but get the error that this forum has exceeded it's attachment space limit. I guess there are too many of us riding motorcycles....

Thanks Whitworth, I think I have it figured out. These are my two. I have wanted an orange Harley since I was 14 years old and it took a while but I finally got one and had it painted. I don't ride it much anymore though because the older I get, the more being comfortable is over looking cool.... The orange Dyna felt like someone beat me with a bat after about 300 miles in a day with no windshield or fairing. The Street Glide gets ridden a lot more these days as 600 miles in a day is no big deal. I actually rode back from Sturgis two years ago by myself straight through to get home, only stopping every 200 miles for gas and that's it. It was 1200 miles non stop and really wasn't bad at all, a bonding experience with my motorcycle. I thought you guys might appreciate the air cleaner on the Street Glide. Mark

Only use quality brass. What did you do for the primers?

I just machined down some brass bolts when I made my cartridge buttons ( case heads with brass bolt machined to shape & size of primers, flash holes drilled out & threaded ) that looks cool on the motorcycle... should have taken something bigger ( 20 mm or??? ) & made a 6 shot revolver look
