it's not the speed, it's the sudden unintended stopping that kills.

You're cheating Dana, you live in Germany.
When I lived there I could safely and easily average 100 mph (or better) on a trip from, say, Heidelberg to Wien, Österreich including the Zoll and Esso stops.

Okay, I'll buy that. Most Americans can't drive to save their lives. But then that doesn't explain your choice of a motorcycle with mediocre brakes and handling. If safety is so paramount then why don't you get a motorcycle that is more agile, more maneuverable and better braking & handling skills?
No, I'm not talking about crotch rockets either. Just a plain old standard motorcycle with decent power, decent chassis and decent brakes.

1900 V-Twin pushing out 125ft/lbs. What does your little toy put out again?

6-HP out of a 50-cc displacement. All muscles and no fat like yours.
A 1900-cc engine that barely puts out 125-lbft of torque.  I noticed that you didn't even bother to post the horsepower.

I hear the same line of crap from every little 17 year old ricer driving a Honda on the road. Wanna know what they and you have in common? You're in my rearview mirrors.

Who do you race with your geezer glide? Bicylists?

Considering it runs high 11s...a whole damn lot of things. What do you race with your scooter? The fat chicks who should be on it?

By the time you unload it from the trailer or the back of the pickup, I'd be well gone across the finish line.
BTW, fat chicks ride on the back of Harleys, not Italian stallions.
High 11s? That's all you can do from a 1900-cc displacement engine? My 1000-cc displacement bike can do high 11s in its sleep.

Trailer or pickup? Sonny, I gear up, roll it outta the garage, press the starter, and away I go. Its a regular ol' bike.

So you've got a halfway decent crotch rocket and you're on here banging your chest about a little 50cc scooter? Open the garage door the next time you turn on your bike, dude.

Of course you haven't heard of scooter racing. I don't expect geezer gliders to know much about motorsports at all, especially the types that involves taking corners at extremely high speed and lean angles.

I've had them. See my post 124 in this thread and this one:
http://www.glocktalk.com/forums/show...7&postcount=27
For me, safety is about dialing me back. If I can't get the front wheel off the pavement for three gears or get serious road rash on my boots with the bike I'm riding, it goes a long way towards encouraging me to act my age.

And fat dudes ride on the front of geezer glides too. What a sight!

A halfway decent crotch rocket? I ain't riding a rice burner, gramps.
My 50-cc scooter is all I need to outrun geezer glides. My crotch rocket is for racing against real motorcycles.

If that's how you feel then that's how you feel.
As for me, I'm too immature to ever grow up.

I do believe that your supposed "chick bike"; as classified by a typical Harley rider, would go faster than that with some very minor mods and a lot less displacement.

Name one factory V-Twin besides the VROD that beats it?
There ain't one. The M109 will give it a run for its money.
I owned a Honda Magna before. 750 v4 and it screamed. But theres just something about the instant gratification of peak torque off idle that warms a man's heart.

That is not entirely true. My house wife and kid are in CO along with my bike and cars. I technically live on the USA. I spend 3 weeks Germany then two weeks CO.
