I notice that it's RED.
Did you ever take it up to top speed?
My students often ask me if I've taken my Boss 302 to its max (speed-limited to 155 or so) and I always have to disappoint them by saying (1) I haven't tried and (2) I can't afford to get tickets for driving like that.
The fastest I ever flew an Apache was (IIRC) 140 knots, which is 161.1 mph. I might have reached 165 mph in there somewhere.

hell yes, 2 or 3 times a month

had to pick my spots where it was relatively safe

of course I was 25/26 years old and before kids - my ideas of relatively safe were different

supposedly the speedo was a bit off that 165, so probably about 161, but with a good south tail wind I saw the needle hit 170
big difference at 125-130, then over 150mph
I sold that bike when first daughter was on the way
