    Totally agree with the thought of coming off at 80mph... guess that's why the landof the free make Hardly Rideitson's

    I was about 100 m behind a 2up Harley sitting at close to 80mph . He passed a truck & pulled back in . The truck promptly pulls out & repasses the Harley at just over 80 mph. Bugger this , upped it to 90 for a while & left them both behind.

    I have the admit the number of thrown treads that littered the hiways made me nervous around big rigs travelling at 75 / 80 mph.

    I wouldn't worry about it. This is just evolution sorting itself out.

    Pff, cruised on a lardy-arsed Ultra-Glide Classic through Utah, Wyoming etc at 95 mph no sweat.

    In jeans, cowboy boots, long-sleeved cowboy shirt and denim vest, also wearing fingerless leather gloves, sunnies too - AND a brain-bucket type helemet of course

    And never got a ticket.

    When noobies on yank forums ask for advice, I wonder if all the 'experienced' riders are too so used to falling off that they tell em to buy bikes without fairings for that end...or maybe they don't make such a habit of falling like the average NZ rider...?

    You are 1000% correct there Scummy,
    a REAL HD rider, would have been at the bar not on the road, shooting shit, and telling all non HD types how they need to get a real bike!!!

    What a rebel!
    We drove into Utah on a 70mph freeway doing 80. The trucks were all passing us prob doing 90 and the cars must have been doing the ton. We never overtook anyone!
