No motorcycle experience here....although I've had a polaris 4-wheeler atv at an indicated 60+ a time or two.
In a car, dad had a Lexus a couple years back with a 160mph speedo and I saw an indicated 135 or so in it a couple times.
Doesn't really compare though to my racing experiences driving a dirt latemodel stockcar at Bellville KS on the big halfmile track there. "Average" lap speeds were recorded in the 125-130mph area, meaning quite a bit higher on the faster stretches(not really a true "straightaway" at Bellville since the track kinda is a big bowl). Keep in mind too that this is on dirt... sideways sometimes, with other cars 4ft or less in front and in back of ya, no windsheild, just a helmet with plastic tearaways on the facesheild. At my local "weekly" 3/8ths mile dirt track the county sherrif clocked us at 95 on the back straightaway, probably slowed to 65-70 in the corners....
Not sure about a tractor either, but the tractor ride that SEEMED the fastest was one time on a Super A when it ran outta gas and my brother towed me home down the highway on a chain behind a pickup....apparantly he misread my frantic hand signals to slow down....but we made it in one peice anyway. He got a poundin' after that one!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
