Sounds like it's time to visit the dealership. It should definitely NOT be doing that. |

It's probably limited to 112 mph so your tires don't burst... and because most normal people don't take their Jeeps that fast.

I only go fast on my bikes. Why go 112 in a jeep, not paticullarly safe, my old wrangler was scary at 85 in the wind. Go a lot faster with nothing surrounding you on a sport bike. Chris |

sport bikes are nice but the kicker is in most states they cannot be driven year round, they are expensive and consider that in most states they cannot be driven year round those MSRP's become even more ridiculous, for me and probably digger too they are super expensive to insure and considering that in most states they cannot be driven year round the insurance rates are more ridiculous than the bike itself, they are extremely risky here in colorado and considering that in most states they cannot be driven year round the risk outweighs the benefits, girls like guys on fast bikes but considering they in most states cant be driven year round youll only have a g/f 8-10 months out of a year... 112 in a jeep seems reasonable after breaking all that down to myself! |

I don't think that Digger is trying to say go 112 in a Jeep...he just had a Walter Mitty moment and went 112 in his Jeep. It is good to know your limits

| insurance on a sport bike isnt too bad if your over 21. I live in michigan and if you ride, you know its worth it. I get a lot more use out of my bikes than i would with a boat or snowmobile. On any decent bike you get 112 in second gear and most have 6. Think about it, a used sportbike $8000, 10 sec 1/4 mile, sometimes better. You know how much you have to spend on a car to do that.

Don't forget there average lifespan is only 5000 miles,and in most states can't be driven year round................ sorry I couldn't help myself.
