Yah, bc... my motorized bicycle is good for 24mph through the traps... w/my carcass onboard.
Number 1 went thru the radar at 29.
My usual cruise speed seems to be 17mph.
...a devoted Gutter Rider and Proud member of the 20mph Club! lol
DRC, i read somewhere it takes double the HP to get from 150 to 200mph.
It may be more, depending on the weight, but a massive increase is required, and that means BUCKS!
lol
when I was a young buck I blasted thru the Los Angeles metropolitan freeway system, on a motorcycle, a few times. I ...really... felt like a gladiator!
IMO, observation and agility are the best defenses a rider has in traffic.
The basic odds against you just go up astronomically in the big cities.
I'm pretty happy being out in a two horse town, even though at times it really seems to be a back-water of the state. Ha! The indians called this place 'the mudhole' !
