Several motorcycles will run at 120 mph. Therefore the rider is running 120

Mine might go 120, but I'm not brave enough to find out.

Some people have a need for speed, others don't.

Years ago, a couple of us were standing around discussing fast cars. An
onlooker asked if we ever drove 300 mph, and 2 of us answered that we never
had a throttle that went that far. Years ago, was thinking seriously of
building a jet dragster. Was cheaper to build than most cars and got good
money to show up and demonstrate it. Unfortunately money and a draft notice
got involved.

Now you know what the beard is for!
I had a "friend" shave off my beard while I was sleeping, and a
bug on the cheek darned near put me down! and that was only at 100 or
so.

From skydiving. You are chasing them down and outrunning them. Do that
for 10,000' on unprotected skin and you will know what pins and needles
feel like.
