Subject:      /f Top speed

I don't know why anyone's concerned about speed. Since the rebuild, I can get up to about 102 FPS with no problem. And even though I'd only make it to about 66 FPS going up hill with a stiff wind in my nose, I can't do that on my bicycle...or in cheap tennis shoes.

When you measure in feet-per-second, these buses really fly!

Then there are the Steve Mahers of the world who can replace the FPS with MPH and still have some pedal left.
