I have a top box on mine, so not only did the pillion help create a wind slipstream to go past it, but the extra weight planted the bike more firmly on the floor.
If i was to go past 100mph riding on my own the top box gets hammered by the wind and it all starts feeling a little bit unpleasant.
At those speeds the wind speed and direction obviously plays a massive part, as does what type of bike clothing you're wearing as well.
Even not having your lid tightened up really well can make things awkward too, 'cos if it's too loose your head starts shaking like a Churchill dog. :lol
[size=1em]And then you get your Isle Of Man TT racers, who are not only in a different league, but literally scare the life out of me just watching them, with a current AVERAGE lap speed record of a fraction under 134mph. That's just insanity at its finest.[/size]
