Thats what a good many fail to check before they go doing stupid speeds.It just takes something like a nail or screw to be in the tyre,which nearly always nine times out of ten goes unnoticed,to cause a blow out,and gameover. ::)

I seem to have gotten into a routine of picking up a screw or nail in the back tyre of my bike approx once per year.Had a few thoughts about the possible outcome of that as Ive been lying in bed trying to get to sleep at night. ::)

Been a passenger at over 170 mph, my bell end of a brother scaring the pants off me in his 928 GTS.

I will never forget the moment a Citroen AX pulled into our lane doing about 50 mph a mile ahead of us..thank the lord for huge brembo brakes.

I dont go over 80 myself ::)

Got 151 on the digi speedo in my old GSi 3000 which was really scary.

125 out of the Mini Turbo I used to have. That was loads of fun!

I'd rather be scared to death than bored to death!!
