Default Re: Guzzi Music

I'm a little confused about these two seemingly conflicting statements;

"Top speed in 5th gear is a respectable 197.5 mph, where it actually feels like it’s only just loping along."

"Above 130 mph it feels like my head is being pulled off my shoulders and the chin strap on every cruiser helmet I’ve tried feels like it’s choking me like a tourniquet, so I actually rigged up an adjustable keeper that runs from the chin strap to the handlebar to hold my head down at speed."


So he's loping along with his head 60mph beyond feeling like it is going to get pulled off? Much respect for building a powerful machine that goes that fast, but with a dry weight of over 1 TON... WHY?!?
