Well, I must mention that when I was hitting the 112 mph the other day, there were people zipping by me before and afterwards in excess of 100 mph, and I would estimate much faster than 112 mph.

However, with a bike, you can just fly.

 

Its that 112 limiter that i kept hitting forced me to a motorcycle so in a way they are realted . I am a speed freak. But i had a son and became 'resposible'. bought a RX300. The RX300 gave me no thrills but i couldnt part with it b/c is made me feel like a king with its cushy ride and soft touches tons of features. Got a ninja. shaky at first. got more and more confident runing it till i rev limiter kicked in. decided had enough. kept seeing dead bikers on tv news. bought GSR. Now the Lex stays parked. And GSR provides my daily thrills. Actully i used RX this past weekend. Rained Dogs and More Dogs in CT. Went to dealer to get oil change. pushed my Snow button. the lex didnt miss a beat. There is no limiter in the gsr.

 

Bikes are nice. It all depends if you like cruising or speeding. In Mexico City, you can't take motorcycles of any kind on the major expressways (stupid reasons). I remember when I used to live in Venezuela they had a 250cc rule...no bikes over that allowed in the country. A major, major PITA, so you always have to run afoul of the law down here on those issues if you want to enjoy it.

 

And why not try it in the U.S.? This is where I do my racing.

 

Could you explain more about these salt flats? Can anybody drive on them? Lots of people driving on them? What is the area?

 

HarrierAWD,

That's one of the most beautiful shots I have ever seen of an RX300 and a background.

I got get some good scenery shots up with all the wonderful places here in Mexico.

 

Is that a Salt Falt like "Bizzy928" mention or is that snow? I think its snow. Am i correct? Because the salt wouldn't stick to the tires. Just making sure i'm correct. Becuase i live in California and there's no snow here where i live.

 

Thanks for the compliment. Do share your photo in Mexico.

It is pure salt at the Bonneville Salt Flat. It's at Exit #4 on I-80 in Utah, near the Nevada border. It's public land so anyone can drive on it. Except on days when some organizations lease it from the government.

There are some long straight black lines drawn on the ground. So you can follow the line to do your speed trial run. The best time to go is in the summer, when the ground is totally dry. In early spring, it becomes a shallow lake from nearby mountain snow melt.
