Airplane (as the pilot) 120mph (Cherokee 140 during flight training)
Eventually realized that precious few of the 4-wheelers I've ever driven had even remotely adequate suspension/brakes to handle 100+.
Somewhere around 50MPH, on a loaded touring bicycle. Downhill run in Romania.
A memorable car ride:
'68 Dodge Coronet (think superbee, with 4 doors). Took it out on rt 9 (Boston Metro) after work one night to "cool off" after a shift.
Passed a moving Massachusetts State Trooper in a MARKED CRUISER Dohhhh!
Memorable in that:
a. I promptly slowed & pulled over before he even lit up.
b. He asked me if I had any Frakin' idea how much this ticket will cost (my response-"semester tuition, Sir".).
c. He let me off with a written warning, which he even wrote up incorrectly as doing 55 in a 65.
Still have that warning somewheres.
Proof that G*d does in fact watch over folk whom are acting the fool!
-he could have easily bumped it up to driving to endanger, oh my gosh that alone, let alone not being able to pay tuition could have severely turned my career!
I went 70 in a Ford Pinto!! Now that was scary.

And the error is all one sided. You are not going as fast as you think and the faster the vehicle is traveling the greater the speedometer error.
