I own a little Ford Fiesta with a 1.3 liter engine. It does 190kmh (which is just short of 130mph) when I put the pedal to the metal down a gentle slope (though it takes a while to get up to that).
I don't often do so, too dangerous, but it can do it.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Is is really all that hard to go 130 mph when riding down a mountain sloap; now do that riding UP hill and that would be a grand achievement. ? Certainly Mr. Stoeckl diserves all the glory and attention for doing it, but I would think it could be somewhat easily achieved by other athletes.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
