Reply #1 - 09/02/16 at 07:38:38 On our first trip to Texas we were coming through the Tennessee mountains going 65 MPH and had 18 wheelers passing us going uphill. WTF is this? I had no idea they could go that fast uphill. Kenny G

Aw gee, we had our helmets on.

Reply #3 - 09/02/16 at 09:28:22 I assume what the video doesn't show is that is probably all downhill. I used to ride a bicycle nearly every day but I don't think I'll try to pass motorcyclists going uphill or even on level ground!

Well at :57 it does appear to say 50 and go down to around 46.... but is that mph?
It sure does not look to be that fast, but video can be deceiving

It is funny though, and I bet that biker was having a laugh.
Have seen videos of the bicycle tours when they are being followed by motorcycles (like tour de france) and it is always amazing how fast they do go.
