Sadly it didn't happen yet. I just went for a short ride, I only made it about two miles before I headed back. I have a pretty bad cold or minor flu and I thought some fresh air and exercise would do me good, I guess I overestimated my energy level as I immediately felt awful (I know sounds like an excuse but its true). Actually on the way back I had a bit of a descent and managed to get up right onto the edge of the red, right about 30mph but not quite good enough.
The American Flyer is even more of a clunker than I expected! It's really something with all the special features rattling around and what not. It isn't going be easy to go fast on that thing, but one of these day's with the right hill, I imagine I will get well into red zone. I can't say that I plan on keeping that bike forever.
