That thread will haunt me forever won't it

I was talking about my own stress levels. People get all angry and upset when someone slows them down. That's my point, by setting my cruise at 67 and hanging in the middle lane the drive is less stressful, for me. That also takes out the anxiety or concern of a speeding ticket. Stress free driving My driving habits are the same in my personal vehicle as well as my work vehicle, to a degree. For the most part I don't speed too much in my personal car either, the biggest difference is my speed is not being tracked by my anyone, my record however, even when driving my personal vehicle is still relevant since any tickets I get, personal or work related, are held against me at work because I drive a company vehicle.

Trust me I know. I've been pulled over by a State Trooper on Rt4 outside of Bucyrus for speeding, I had just passed a slower vehicle and had not fully slowed down yet. I explained that to the officer. He let me go. I remember seeing a quote about this in the driving manual many years ago, I can't seem to find the same thing in the "current" one, but trust me, it is doable. MT's comments are not facts. I have never wrecked my bike, alone or on any OR ride. I have gone off the road surface and was able to pull back on without incident on a couple occasions, that is not a wreck. And I don't believe I have ever rode with you.

Silence is golden

Thanks Nick for quoting that, so I could see that MT did indeed provide insightful and inaccurate information Not sure where he get's his facts from. I have never wrecked my bike. Dropped it once by myself. NEVER wrecked. But I digress, I have him blocked for a reason, I simply don't care about anything he has to say. So I won't bother to acknowledge his pointless childish rants even if seen via a quote. Carry on.

I'm sure whatever you said was quite insightful.

Not yet. Give me about another month.

Sure would be nice wouldn't it. But, seems some people like to drive faster than others which tends to upset the utopian flow of things. First of all, get your facts straight if you want to discuss this. It IS perfectly legal to exceed the posted speed limit in order to pass another vehicle. I've even talked my way out of a ticket quoting that little tidbit of information. Secondly. I don't advocate just hanging out in the left lane locked at the speed limit. It pisses me off too after awhile if I need to use the lane to pass. BUT, I will not go out of my way to excessively speed to get out of the left lane just to appease you. If I have ventured into the left lane to pass a slower vehicle and you happen to run up my ass while I'm doing it I will indeed get over, but I will get over at my own safe pace, you can wait until I've made my pass and am ready to get back over. I drive for a living. It is probably 70% of my job description. I've probably logged more highway miles than anyone on this site, unless they are a commercial truck driver. My clean driving record is important to my career. My work vehicle speed is gps tracked and logged. My concern is not that fact that you want to exceed the speed limit. I will indeed do my best to be courteous to other drivers on the road, and I will get out of your way, when I can do so in a safe manner without violating the safe driving regulations set forth by my employer. My safety, and my job, are more important than your need for speed.

You're probably one of the first people to bitch about getting a speeding ticket too. You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's kind of funny that you want Law Enforcement to HELP you speed? Kinda have a double standard there don't ya buddy?

Gotta start somewhere. It never works when assholes are out there running up everyones ass at 75. You'd be surprised at how less stressful highway driving is when you set your cruise control at 67mph get in the middle lane and relax.

If you can't get to where you are going on time by following the posted speed limits then you should have left earlier. Plain and simple. Maybe they are concerned for your safety? No, pretty sure they just don't give a damn about the needs of someone that has no regard for the law. Yeah that's probably it.

My wife and I, along with several other OR members were part of Eric's first class. The class was fun and informative. We have scheduled our ccw appointments with the Sheriff and hope to be licensed soon! Good luck with the upcoming classes Eric! - David & Melissa

I believe that is the closest range to us.

Thanks. Just found this site, printing some now... http://www.targetprinter.com/

When you go shoot at a range do they supply the targets?? Have never shot at a range yet and I want to take Melissa there to see if she will be able to use the .38 we bought. Looking at the Powder Room in Powell, on their website I see mention of eye/ear protection but it doesn't say anything about the targets.

Wow. Guess maybe they should paint those things yellow? I got some speed humps on a road near me and I actually speed UP going over them but the big difference is the anticipation of the bump, standing up off the seat to absorb the bump with your knees.

LOL, told you guys, it's a great find, and I rented it thinking it was a actual horror flick not one of the funniest movies I'd ever watch

My favorite Mel Brooks movie was "History of the World Part 1", but then SpaceBalls was great too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5VsYT5vbWE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtPzInmj8JU

It's funny as hell

Sorry Ok, keeping in line with the original idea of this thread, here is a movie I rented from Netflix once, it ended up being one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, funny and gorey, a must see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjmhuYgZrow

I love Olivia too but her chiseled cheeks do kinda look like the praying mantis lol.
