New to forums are you? "Mexico" is the term used when you are in the middle of nowhere (ie semi safe) and don't want to incriminate yourself for admitting to high speed acts (in the USA)

Well Sir : Been on here several years and never once saw THE TERM "MEXICO" and it's definition meant deserted open road . But of course I don't read every word folks tend to post . I saw the word MEXICO and made a comment is all I did . By the way ,Where in Maryland do you find a "MEXICO ROAD to open up on that's not a race track ? The County I live in is almost the size of your whole State .But as long as we enjoy our Mustangs ,is all that matters . Agreed ? But thanks for the MEXICO EDUCATION ... I still advise not to go to Mexico {THE REAL ONE } and speed . Have a great day ..junqdawg

There are many, many 3+ mile long straight roads in Maryland. Just not close to DC. At my last job, I would hit 150++ every morning (6AM) on the way to work. No cars visible in either direction for miles.

I first heard it watching some YouTube vidoes, right after I joined up and bought my DH.

My current car, one I hope to sell in the next few weeks, is a BMW 440 convertible. Back in 2017 when I bought it BMW still had a program for US buyers to take delivery in Germany, drive around a few days or weeks, and then let them ship to your US dealer. My build date was a few weeks before a planned business trip elsewhere I Europe so I flew to Munich a few days early and toured Southern Germany.

On a trip to the Porsche Museum I found myself on a stretch of Autobahn with unlimited speed. Like a 2024 GT, it is limited to 155if you pick the right tire option and I managed to get to about 149 before ...well, before I got scared.

I can't imagine ever seeing really high speeds here in the US but maybe there are places I don't know of where its possible or even legal?. Of course we'll should obey all traffic laws,, but it's a bit sad knowing it's there and I'll never get anywhere near it. I think some stretches of Texas are 85...but Michigan drivers do that all day long where the limit is 70.

LOL! I'm in Gratiot County. 2008; Secret country road; nice flat straight super slab with very few driveways/dwellings on it. 176MPH on my ZX14

[for about a half second ].

My Bud had a turbo Hayabusa (dynoed @ 478 HP on race gas). A friendly county Sheriff's Deputy radared him on the same stretch of road at 202 MPH! Afterwards he said the "Busa had more but he didn't!

Roger that!

My last motorcycle (the one I was hit on when I lost my leg) was a 2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 - essentially the same thing as the ZX14, but with slightly different ergos and luggage/screen (for SPORT touring), a few different internals, and a different tune, again, focused on ST.

Sure do miss that bike ... and my leg. LOL.

Hey! @roadpilot; we inadvertently put the thread back on point! "Our bad!"

Thought there might be some entertaining "casual " for a minute there.

Here's a fact: If a person go's out to a bar in the US, get's drunk, then wrecks his car going home, guess who can be held "responsible" and face charges? Answer: The person that served him/her.
So there's that.

totally different scenario. In that case, the bartender can observe the decline in the customer very easily. To continue to contribute is irresponsible.

If someone is legally licensed to drive somewhere, thst is proof enough. It’s not then the manufacturers fault. The burden lies on the government. And it isn’t their fault either. If someone demonstrated proficiency to earn their license, then they e done what they should do and issues the license.

if the driver behaves irresponsibly with the license, they are penalized and can have the license revoked.

if the person continues to drive while the license is revoked, that’s on the driver. Not the automaker, not the government, etc.

No one contributed to the foolish decision making other than the driver.

Did someone already remove the speed governors entirely? (e.g. for dyno?)

Bought a 22 BMW amd waited forever while it was built in Bremerhaven.

There is just a harbour for car shipping, no car plants in Bremerhaven, just a huge parking lot with new cars.
