VERY addictive... Going 110 in my boat isn't as fun anymore haha. I'm very thankful to have gotten to ride at 160. I'll never forget it.

+1. 100 is still cookin to me

Though I appreciate what you're saying, I'm kinda the other way: If I never go 160 mph again, I'll be just fine. The more you go there, the greater the chance of something happening. Increased exposure equals increased risk.

But I do appreciate the sensation and the people who can't get enough of it.
