How fast is TOO FAST for the street?

Corners, go with what you feel completely comfortable with. Straights, 10 or so over. I've never seen the point in opening it up trying to make it to the next corner on a public road.

Depends on the road... depends on the group...

Aha! That's why I don't get along with most of you...we're different species! I love blazing hard from corner to corner! Sure cornering is great but the feel of the g forces that come from acceleration and braking is intense! To cruise along at or around the speed limit until the next corner would be boring to me.

To each his own though.
I do agree that as long as you are within your limits,any speed is acceptable in my book.

i agree, i love hauling ass through the twisties, but like the straights in between the curves too(though where i live there arent really many "straights"

if i just wanted to go fast only in the curves, i'd get a slotard..

but how boring would a race be if the racers let off the gas in the straights

i also agree any speed you are comfortable with is acceptable, as long as you know the risk involved , they're not any police at the track, and if you wipe out on the street you wont have a pretty sandy run off, you'll just have a rock wall,cliff, tree, car, etc to slam into!

that being said, with the group i ride with, its always draggin knees and hauling ass, but i never feel as though i'm "pushing it"
