I doubt I'll ever do it again after that "let's see what she'll do" test. Anything over 20 MPH, and it's all to easy to get out of control using a set of steering levers. If it gets somewhat off being dead straight at speed, it's not that easy to correct without see-sawing. Surviving a flip at 28 MPH would be a crap shoot.
On edit:
The two times I've been out in the desert playing in sand, (After getting the GPS installed) following old roads etc. my average speed is 8 to 10 MPH. Going back to my truck that might be 15 miles away after a good run, I still only do about 12 ~ 15 MPH. If you want speed, buy a Polaris RZR.
