MPH vs HP- I hit my fastest street speed

The worlds Fastest Indian Burt Munro took his 600 cc Indian 3speed and bore it out to 950 cc to top 190.07 mph. I don't know how that compares to the Ducati conversation eccept to believe that numbers don't mean shit on a computer unless they are attached to a bike going 200mph. http://www.indianmotorbikes.com/features/munro/munro.htm is the officail website. The movie states he went 201.33 mph.
I have officially had my bike as of now on a downhill slope, with following winds, and the stars alligned (joking) and the speedo pegged straight down with the ECU cutting me off. I am assuming that was at between 186-190. I have seen reports that have riders on the tracks as high as 195.1 with the limiter. That accuracy I don't know due to bad reports, but I guarantee it was Very fast. Time slowed and I felt as if I was in Star Wars Warp speed, and it was my official top street speed. NOT A BRAG, just excited about my 14.
Personal fastest track speeds are 220+ on a t-turbo Busa 1999 Bike in the year 2000
220+ in a t-turbo Hennessy Viper 1999 Car in the year 1999
122+ Scarab racer 1999 Boat in the year 1998
1998-2000 was a fast time for me, and this is the fastest I've been since.

Twin turbo.

Also the Indian was a streamliner, not a stock bike with a fairing.

In Clearwater Florida there is a sportbike shop that put on the TWIN turbos back in '00, also lowered and extended the swingarm. Not Mistaken. I'm not a professional in motorbike mechanics, but I pay good money to people who are. I saw the TWIN turbo system set up in a magazine, and I found a guy who said he could duplicate it. He did'nt get as many horses as the magazine guys bike, but it was close enough for the price.
