This time of year there is one road with only a couple of passing lanes, that is frequented by people hauling their boats up to the lakes. > I don't believe I have ever exceeded 130mph Most of the roads here are posted for 70 or 80 mph. I drive at the posted limit but 80 definitely impacts the fuel economy. Maybe I'm getting old but at one time there wasn't a daytime speed limit and traffic tended to move at 90 to 100 mph. I was never that comfortable on a bike in a pack of soccer moms in their SUVs going 100. Oddly, back east where the speed limits are lower everybody ignores them and you'd have to be suicidal to drive at the posted limit. Around here very few people drive faster than 80. Of course, the residential 35 or 45 mph limits tend to be ignored and that's where the cops hang out.
