My fastest downhill, at age 38, was 55 mph.
Cowardly turn of events here. I too was both a motorcyclist and biker until recently. My pride and joy was a 1969 Honda 750 that I restored as second owner since 1972. Gave it to my nephew about a year ago. Had to go to someone who enjoyed wrenching, bikes of that era need a good deal of attention. I'm 76 in a couple of weeks and recently barely broke 30 mph on a decent. Fast enough for me.
