It varies greatly. Some have done 160+ I believe. That said a bunch of people are going to tell you to "search because this topic has been covered alot," and it has. And some people will tell you "that's insane, I hope it wasn't on public roads, you're an idiot."

In a lot of cases, I'd bet they don't find roads that are safe enough to do this. That's the problem.

Having said that, I've been on plenty of flat straight roads in Nevada, Utah, Montana, etc. that wouldn't be a problem as far as traffic is concerned. I make no guarantees about any local deer, racoons, armadillos, skunks, etc.!

Drive Safe,
