Speeding on freeways

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! 😂

D'OH!

I loved driving the Autobahn
 
No worries - everyone occasionally exceeds the limits. It is what it is. Now then, exceeding it by 3x the posted, well that is something else entirely.
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.
