tblade Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 This is mostly to get an understanding around general street riding behaviorI don't pay much note to the speedo so long as I stay with traffic, but on open roads the bike just seems to have a mind of its own.So... fess up folks, tell me I'm not the only one More importantly, I wonder if the risks are about the same with speeding in a car, or do the cops give just a little more leeway if you happen to be on 2 wheels.

f4isvt Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 my focus dead on the speed limit, my f150 7 over to account for the offage, tundra 5 over, and my 89 yota 10 under to account for tires and gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I sync my speedo to my GPS. Also, I have some police officers clock me using various technologies including chopper, RADAR, LIDAR and visual so that I'm sure I never go over.

dustinsn3485 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I always cruise in first gear. I don't know what the top speed is, I don't like going over 6000RPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Speed limit and not a MPH over, in fact, I usually go -5 just to be safe.I can vouch for that one. He was pulling away from me while I was running 7 under on the DTC ride today. I have to get up to speed limit a couple times to catch up! Livin on the edge! <--- still my favoriteNot surprising at all... I usually keep it around 50 but Sam some times bullies me into like 61 - 70 . That 1000rr doesn't like to go much over 45, does it?
