Florida people; slow down - Page 3

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.

This is already true for some people. They're called "Ducati owners".

I think that Rae should relocate to SoCal. Great riding year round and not quite as muggy as Florida. Some mugginess but not quite as bad. You can split lane and cops don't bother you unless you go much over 90-MPH on the freeway and there is only one CHiP bastard who pulls people over for chickenshits, but we know where he hangs out.

Besides, she'd get to be near a person who worships her and would let her ride any of his bikes any time.

Even his precious scooter.
