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).

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!

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
