100mph Tape
« Reply #1 on: September 10, 2013, 04:30:13 PM »
One day I went into an army surplus store and saw this big roll of black duct tape. It was a little on the spendy side. "What's so special about that stuff?", I asked the man behind the counter. "Back in 'Nam, we called that '100mph tape'. It's what held our Hueys together when stuf was fallin' off. Held up to 100mph, hence the name".
  I guess Gorilla Tape is the modern iteration. I've tested it well past 100 per. 😜

The black gorilla tape must be close to the 100mph tape as stated. I have it on the front of my K100rs covering a damaged area from a previous owner. It has seen 100mph and its some tough stuff. Kenray, Katy TX.

100mph tape. That is a term I have not heard in years. I first heard it back in the '70s when I was privileged to wear the color green.
