Not only that, I don't find blasting down the road as fast as I can go on a long trip to be fun anyways, if I need to get there in a hurry I will ride in a car, my longer distance motorcycle rides are to get out and relax, be alone on the open road and jam out to some good tunes, not try and break the Land speed record.
that sounds about right to me, i just get worried i'm gonna piss people off if i'm driving the speed limit on my bike.. most main roads around here have a speed limit of 45-50 mph and every one likes to go about 5-10 mph over

i prefer to keep in the 45-50mph range and enjoy my ride if there is no traffic i sometimes only go 35 just so i can take in a little more scenery along the way.
