Thumbs up Rode on the back of a CBR 900RR to 130 mph!

Okay, a friend of mine who has a bike (not the CBR) took me for a ride on the back of his friend's (who frequently lets him borrow his bike for a day). I have NEVER in my life b4 felt such power (relative to the weight of the bike)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, it's hard to describe. We hit 130 as fast as he dared without popping the front wheel. CRAP! Now this bike is good for 9's so figure in the weight of 2 guys and try to imagine. I figure at about 110 (b/c at this point, I couldn't see the speedo as I had to tuck in my head so the glasses wouldn't fall off) my helmet and safety glasses started trying to come off so we slowed down to a stop and I took off the glasses and tightened the helmet and then we did 119 mph-- this time I was able to see the speedo.

I'm not gonna waste time trying to describe the feeling...sorry. It was too much.

Okay, now I understand this wasn't the safest thing to do, but....... well.. let's just leave it at that.....

...I think I want a bike now....
