Speeding on freeways

Here they speed everywhere. Some days you never see a cop and other days that's all you see. On my street alone it is posted 35 and most of the time they drive by doing MUCH more than that.
 
I shouldn't post here. I just bought a sport bike this past spring (rode sport-tourers most of my life), and on a nice day with low traffic, I've been known to push the envelope a tad...
 
I have a 27-year-old Jaguar XK8 with about 85,000 miles on it. I'm not overstressing the drivetrain and drive the speed limit. When I drove the Oregon State highways to Salem for my VA appointment, I took it easy and avoided a potential accident. (A bedroom dresser had fallen from a vehicle and nearly caused a calamity.) At my age, I enjoy long-distance touring and let those who would speed on to collect the jail time and citations. To heck with that!

I'm a true Grand Touring-style cruiser and my Jaguar says it all: Grace, space and pace.
 
The construction of a data center near here has made life very hazardous. Debate the usefulness of the data centers but the actual construction turns rural areas into high-speed disaster areas. Speeding and flipped semi's, traffic jams, torn up roads, high cost housing and imported people who don't even speak Spanish; more like the bar scene in Star Wars. I take the back roads to work now where the only thing I'm worried about is running into a hog.
