Praise the Lord and pass the STP!correct. 90 is the rule, but I think you do faster than that. i’ve seen you drive those back roads

One of the most humiliating moments of my life was the day that I had to drive a Humvee from Peden Barracks (Wertheim) to Wurzburg on the Autobahn.
I was in the Right hand lane with my foot on the floor. Doing 65 mph and I thought that Humvee was going to rattle apart around me.
I looked over to my left and I saw a little, old German grandma, in an orange Volkswagen Beetle Roll by me like I wasn't moving.
FWIW on the highway I generally set my cruise control 5 miles faster than the posted speed limit.

I knew a sergeant that stopped a Texas plate on I-10 and discovered 200 lbs of weed. When in Court, the defense attorney challenged the Sgt and his reasons for the stop. His reply, classic, "in 16 years on the job, I have never seen a Texas plate doing the speed limits".
The judge agreed and allowed all the evidence!

So when I'm at 2.5x the limit I'm good? Sweet. What else does one do with 170hp in a 450lb bike? I still can't believe they make bikes as fast as they do. Heck, the pricier version of my bike carries 205hp in a 398lb bike. Insane.

That's been an ongoing discussion here amongst the bikers and the authorities in this area. We had a 17 year old go down two blocks from my house and the bike caught fire. He had been weaving and changed lanes at rush hour to get out of the traffic when he met the cager.
The outcome was contributing factors of speed and the cager with failure to yield. Young kid on fast bike, going to fast for conditions, and cager trying to cross 3 lanes without enough room.
The debate has been too much power for lightweight bikes and inexperienced buyers. I don't know what the answer is or should be.

While visiting relatives and driving my rental car in the Phoenix/Chandler area, and especially coming from roads less travelled, I felt as if everyone around me was driving in an angry competition. No matter if I was on the road or not, the entire area had an air of evil about it.

You're not kidding. Last week I was on the 130 doing 90 to keep from getting shot and people were passing me like I was tied to a stump! Maniacs I tell ya!

When I lived in leftern WA, I've been given the bird for slowing down to turn onto my neighborhood road, and I'm not a slow driver. Well, I'm slow, but not at driving. I can see how people get road rage.They suck at using turn signals too!
