That figures
So I'm riding a new motorcycle with a really long break-in period. During
break-in, I have to keep the RPMs low. Generally, this means staying below 60MPH. Of course, 60MPH on a motorcycle is 55MPH ground speed, as motorcycle speedometers are way off. So staying below 55MPH for weeks on end, I haven't had much of an opportunity to pass anybody. The first and only vehicle I've had to pass with the motorcycle so far was a Ford Taurus sedan, that I had to pass on the right. -Dave |

There is no way to safely travel the highways at 60MPH or under, not even the 55MPH posted ones. -Dave |

Even on the secondary routes that might be a little slow. nate -- replace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel |
