Florida people; slow down

Why even own a motorcycle in FL. It's hot as hell most of the year and the only curves are on ramps.

150 on the street is dumb. Do it in a populated area and you are asking to center punch a minivan.

I just got back from N. GA. Hauling ass on the roads down there is great at 70-80mph. Do 150mph and we'll be picking your carcass out of the trees.

We are already seeing this kind of enforcement in limited areas (Deal's Gap) here. We'll see this continue. It'll be speed enforcement, noise enforcement, and horsepower and displacement limitations.

Eventually the only high powered fast riding will be done at track days. The bikes will cost $20,000 each and track days will run you $1,500 a pop.
