The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Re: How Fast Would You Dare Go?
I imagine the difference between crashing with no lid at anything over maybe even 40-50 mph is all probably much of a muchness so if I made the decision to do over 40 then I'd be fine with doing 200. I'd want eye and ear protection though. Got a bee in the eye at about 25 mph and it hurt like fook for hours and wind noise ain't happening regardless of the stupidity of doing 200 mph without a lid.
Thinking about it I did 80 mph in a Tiger Moth with a stupid snoopy pilot hat on, no real difference to riding a bike with a faring. And with no parachute crashing wouldn't have been fun either.

If I went fast enough, no one would be able to see me

1.2 mph x the percentage protection provided by a fairing - the diameter of the bum of the flightee bee in hundredths of an inch.
So assuming no local chubby bottomed bumble bees and a great fairing then mebbe 120
Or a shite fairing where your main protection is provided by a large speedo and wide bars minus the 30 hundredths of an inch bumble bee ass. Which takes us to about 60.
Wot, you've never hit a bumble bee or even worse a cockchafer flying beetle while riding a motorbike with no shirt on? Fukin hurtz.

Oh and obviously Cockchafer beetles only fly for a couple of days a year but I've seen the bum of a flightee bee in December so those barstools are almost all year round.
