However, with a bike, you can just fly.

Its that 112 limiter that i kept hitting forced me to a motorcycle so in a way they are realted . I am a speed freak. But i had a son and became 'resposible'. bought a RX300. The RX300 gave me no thrills but i couldnt part with it b/c is made me feel like a king with its cushy ride and soft touches tons of features. Got a ninja. shaky at first. got more and more confident runing it till i rev limiter kicked in. decided had enough. kept seeing dead bikers on tv news. bought GSR. Now the Lex stays parked. And GSR provides my daily thrills. Actully i used RX this past weekend. Rained Dogs and More Dogs in CT. Went to dealer to get oil change. pushed my Snow button. the lex didnt miss a beat. There is no limiter in the gsr.

Coming off a turn and going into a dive on that toll highway I mentioned earlier. I continued to press down upon reaching 112 mph and notice the hesitation of the motor at that point and then the deceleration.
Again, don't try this in the U.S., especially while trying to juggle the camera at the same time.

Is that a Salt Falt like "Bizzy928" mention or is that snow? I think its snow. Am i correct? Because the salt wouldn't stick to the tires. Just making sure i'm correct. Becuase i live in California and there's no snow here where i live.

It is pure salt at the Bonneville Salt Flat. It's at Exit #4 on I-80 in Utah, near the Nevada border. It's public land so anyone can drive on it. Except on days when some organizations lease it from the government.
There are some long straight black lines drawn on the ground. So you can follow the line to do your speed trial run. The best time to go is in the summer, when the ground is totally dry. In early spring, it becomes a shallow lake from nearby mountain snow melt.
