But, can you pick up chicks at Wal*Mart?  ;)

Was your top speed also 140?

You know it!!

[laugh]

You should try to find the top speed of your wife's MTS620.  The faring makes a world of difference!  I got mine well over 200 mph.  I know, I know, there's no way that a MTS620 can go that fast.  But the GPS don't lie!



236mph!  I wish I had taken the load of lead brick out of my tail bag.  Who knows what speeds I would have hit.

I saw the thread title and wondered...

and continued reading and understood. ;D

I agree Norris! I hit that Wal-Mart when I go to my farm. Half of all the patrons weigh like 400lbs and ride around in the electric shopping carts... and the women wear lycra/bicycle riding type shorts. [puke] Scares the hell out of me.

OK, end of threadjack, back to bike lists! [laugh]
