Red lining a high mileage machine

Has anyone got or had a a high mileage oilhead, say 100,000 miles plus, and do they red line it?

Re: Video of my ride

Ha Ha! Personally, I dont care which side of the road I travel on. I have travelled in europe many times and have no fear about driving on the other side.
