Pics? otherwise, you are full of ****.
No one would take a bike that fast without having pictures taken....and it better have some kind of rocket propulsion or be in the cargo bay of an airplane.

We did 70Kph downhill on the tandem - coasting. It was a twisty road, and even with 203mm discs front and rear, slowing was sketchy. 100k (66MPH) wouldn't be out of the question if we pedalled.
