Not too fast, but I hit 70 a couple of times. It was awesome, but when I got back to the garage I noticed that my rear fender leading edge (where the spats go) had been sand blasted by the sand and small pieces of gravel on the street. It actually etched the surface of the aluminum! Spats are in order. I have to say, it was worth every scratch and ding!
not to hi jack the thread, where did you order your kirkham spats from?
