Good point esp with there being an actual paper trail with the spotracker stuff. I would think along some of those stretches of hwy how could you not take it up over 100.

RACER X · 04-04-2012, 12:43 PM

yeah, esp out in west texas.......85 is the speed limit out tehre

i got popped in AZ for 100 when i rode Cross-C

When I rode with Trace out in the middle of nowhere north texas/new mexico, we played around sometimes, but for the most part he is a very conservative rider is what I got out of it. He may do a little speeding to get around stuff, but I suspect he doesn't do it for long stretchs. I don't know, maybe someone who rides with him more has a better idea of his normal habits.

As th etouring distance rider he is, i can se ehim keeping it around 70 or 80 for the most part. Even on the trips home from GA/NC I didnt break 90 too often. Esp in the south, I dont think they would care for my NY plates

5 over is about where I stay when I am LDing. It's just not worth it to have to be scouting for cops on LD trips.

RACER X · 04-04-2012, 02:01 PM

outside of NOLA now.

Trip · 04-04-2012, 02:03 PM

He's already passed ebbs, I wonder if ebbs is chasing him down to get some Trace action.

RACER X · 04-04-2012, 02:28 PM

he'll be thru houston around 5-6p, would be great to catch dinner w/ him

esp since we're way west houston out of all the traffic

tommymac · 04-04-2012, 03:29 PM

looks like hes comming up towards batton rouge now.

Trip I will usualy average about 10 or so over but most of the speed limits are 65, except wva which is 75. I will usualy run pace with the traffic which i susualy close to 70-80. I usualy slow down a bit when I am by myself and theres no other traffic since the popo can focus only on me. There are soem stretches in NY, NJ ans PA where I feel prety safe railing a little faster but once I cross the mason dixon line I will dial it down.
