Thanks for clearing that up because I do drive in Georgia from time to time.

thats an awesome video


Whenever my wife complains about me speeding I do exactly the speed limit.
Real fun when its a long drive . Usually takes her about 10 minutes until she starts complaining "Ok ha-ha now stop being an asshole"

On my ride out to "my riding spot", I'm usually in the right lane going between 55 and 60. Watching everyone flying by probably wondering why the crotch rocket is creeping along.
Its my way of being anti-establishment.

Personally I refuse to express any form of anger or frustration if someone is doing the speed limit. I'm not going to give anyone a dirty look just because they are obeying the law.

Hell I used to drive 80 mph on a daily basis to work and was being passed constantly. That is NOT superspeeding.

200 plus your speeding ticket cost are still cheaper than CA...tickets here start at 270 for 1mile over...340 is pretty typical. Don't park your bike in the handicapped crosshatched area...400 bucks.

Not total, since this fine is in addition to the speeding ticket.

Haha. That would be nothing but win! I'd do 150 to work everyday (Or once a month since I could afford that).
