"Seemed to be running fine. On
the highway she felt particularly happy so I canned it and it shoot up
to 90 like nothing, then 100, then 110, 115 and I buried it. ?? I've
never gotten that much out if it. I guess I was doing 120. "
A tailwind could have that effect, but it would have been enough wind that
you would have noticed it. Remember, the only thing that keeps you from
going infinitely fast on level ground, aside from quantum physics, is wind
resistance. If you have a 20mph tailwind, you should be able to get close
to 20mph extra out of the bike assuming you are still in the engine's
powerband. Keep on the science experiment (carefully), check your mileage,
etc - I'm interested to hear the results.
