In 1973 I had a borrowed Honda 350 out after midnight one night on a stretch of new concrete 2-lane highway, and before I knew it I was running over 90. Again, no records set...and the funny thing is, after realizing that my butt was mere inches off the pavement at over 90 MPH, I somehow felt a lot safer after I backed down to about 70.
In my own car, I probably haven't been much faster than the 125 I was running when I broke a rear U-joint and twisted a driveshaft in two on my '64 Chevelle at 3 am...that was about 1974. Busy highways, I discovered, become almost deserted when you break down at 3 am, 10 miles from the nearest town.
In someone else's car, I had my brother-in-law's '80 Corvette up to around 145 on a new stretch of interstate in about 1986...the steering suddenly got light somewhere around 125-130, so I backed it down. That run was with my BIL riding shotgun, and was beer-induced. The others were fueled strictly by youthful stupidity, when we're all 10 feet tall and bulletproof until we discover otherwise.
