[gregwaits]

I keep thinking I'll firgure out what the heck 'ton'd up' means. Call me an old fart, but this one gets by me. I know it is a good thing!

Please, someone enlighten me!

It's when you have reached 100mph on your bike.

A number i see daily on the VF lol....however my roomate scared the #$%* out of me recently when he went and double toned....(aka traveled at 200 mph...)

Chris, did you see the double ton my mate did last weekend, it was scarey.

See the vid and still pics in the British Superbikes at Snetterton.

It's a heady experience, especially a) when you are on a machine that can do it safely, 2) when you can do it legally and III) when the machine is fast enough that you know that you have actually done it, rather than just relying on what the speedo says.

"If there's one thing that I like,
It's a bird up on my bike,
A bird up on my bike is what I like,
And we do the ton for kicks"

Was that Lonny Donagan...anyone got the lyrics?
