I think you could, but you'd need a long way to get up to speed. The power needed to accelerate (Force=Mass*Acceleration) would be huge. I would imagine it would be a lot greater than steady state, where the only thing slowing you down is wind resistance. The windblock was clearly designed to minimize that force. I don't feel comfortable going much of 80mph sitting in my car.. I can't imagine doing it on two wheels. I don't think my car actually can go that fast...

Well the power needed to get from 100 mph to 183 is a lot more than from 0 to 100, at least in kinetic energy terms which is proportional to velocity squared. I think the main problem is that you'd be tired out getting to 100 mph, but that with the gearing so high it would be very difficult to start from a standstill without tipping over.
