Shoulder check

I generally cruise at around 75mph on autoroutes/autobahn roads. I became curious about what sort of speeds those overtaking me were doing in a no limits stretch of autobahn. I pulled out in a clear space after one particularly quick motor passed me and accelerated… he was still pulling away when I took pity on my pillion whose head was being bounced around in the wind turbulence. Reviewing my satnav later that day it indicated that we got up to 127mph… and still not keeping pace. 
 

Frequent vigilance in rear view mirrors supplemented by shoulder checks was the order of the day … 

On autobahns my cruising is between 130 and 150 kph. I was passed like I was stationary. Followed one to see if I could keep up but at 210 kph I chickened out.

Never ever happened to do such speeds but having never ever done such things the scary bit is not the speed, nothing is quick until something happens then 40 is too quick.
