There was a video out with some helicopter crew chasing LR at a top speed of 118mph. Squeeze in a few more mph's on tarmac.

This link is to a a great video on youtube. Back in 93 there was a tv show called the extremnists......This is an episode that focuses on motorcycles. They have a young Colin Edwards for roadracing and Larry Roeseler for off road. Lots of good clips of larry and ty davis down in baja, adelanto and in their backyard of hesperia ca. You can view the first few min for free but have to purchase the whole episode for like 3.99. Very worth it. Larry speaking of his baja experiences and some good kx500 shots. check it out. This is the time and era that I was mostly around them all. I was actually present for some of the clips.
