He said he's never been more scared in his life. He tried to explain to me how things blur after you get above 220mph.

Lets see
115 in a saturn pos sl2 auto(speed governed at 115 farking autos)
140 or so in my old 84 turbo gt mustang (2.3 turbo hatch)
then about 145 or 150 (or so an rpm calculator says) in a friends 90 crx si (1.5 on 1.6 fuel injection) for what it was it was pritty darn quick.
Iam glad I trust my friend enought to do 145-150 in a light as crx, it really needed front down force as I could feel the front end comming off the ground a bit.
Proly wont go that fast again unless I know the car has enought front downforce to handel them speeds.

My real question is, where do you find a helmet that fits well enough to handle that kind of wind ? At 140 my helmet was buffetting all over the place. Hell, at 100 I have to creep below the fairing to not get knocked out.
my helmet gave me no issues at 160 
it was an older Shoei model (i dont remember the exact one)
i know a lot of people that have excellent luck with Arai, Soumy, Shoei, etc...
i also know a lot of people who have had very good luck with mid range helmets like Icon and HJC... its all about finding one that fits YOU right... if your helmet is bobbling around on your head it most likely doesnt fit you right... or its poorly designed... or its too heavy... or your neck is too weak

115 in my civic hx, took forever to get there, lol
125 in my crx with zc, had 2 others in the car keeping it down, one weighing about
180-190 the other probably like 220-235??(bad at guessing weights)
couldnt break 85 in my buick but thats what happens with only 3 gears... plus that thing felt like floating with the suspension it had, fun stuff

How do you figure?

I never said it wasnt stupid, Ive raced motocross for 12 years and have taken some nasty falls in the dirt, going 1/4 that speed, with a helmet and I wasnt happy, Im well aware of the risks. I could hardly breathe and my eyes dryed out super quick. And I didnt cruise there forever, it was quick through the gears, check of the speedo, slowed back down.

I have a $250 pair of goggles, and the winds up at 80 are difficult. at 100 it's not safe, I'm blinking every second and not really comprehending my surroundings. My friend did 130 with just his goggles, and his deceleration was "blind" and he learned a valuable lesson.i know people who have done that and then some
just need decent glasses/goggles to keep your eyes from watering out
doesnt make it any less stupid... but its completely possible
160 ?
I have a huge problem with saying they've done these things. I think that it's all exageration. I've explained my stance before.
It may feel like that, you may be safe saying shit like that, but to those who know speed, we smell the horseshit really fast. And anyone that claims 140+ on something smaller than a 800cc is also lying. They aren't capable of these things. I have a friend with a ZZR600 and he is constantly claiming how he touches 180 and stupid shit like that. It's not possible, yet its the same rhetoric I hear over and over.

Ok so Im lying we'll leave it at that.
you should know that the price of the glasses / goggles doesnt mean much
my friend tom's favorite riding glasses are a set of <$30 cheapies... for him, they fit him right and block more wind than a lot of far more expensive glasses hes tried
justin regularly does 120+ on the warrior with just glasses
barry has slowed down a bunch since his crash but still does 130+ with just glasses on his ZX10 and use to go a lot faster on his ZX9
if you think they are full of shit, just ride with them some time and see for yourself
