I can't beleive I am on another curling thread...
Anyway, I ride, have been for 20 years, yadda yadda...the reason why 105mph is dangerous on a bike is because of the other cars on the road that drive like shit.
You can be the hero of the road on your Gixxer, but as soon as some fat bitch smoking a cig, eating a hot dog, talking on the cell, yelling at her kids in the back, changing the station, and putting on makeup behind the wheel of her Yukon drifts and clips you while you are in triple digits, it is goodbye curling.
High speed is for wide open roads (like Vegas to LA in the desert at 5am) and the track.
But - I am the voice of reason...hard to argue with a finalist for this year's Darwin award.
