    driving in boise

    i agree,I love Boise but they are death on anything speed related and love there 35 mph 25 35 speed traps..
    i see bikes all over the place now that its warmed up and every one i talk to says the same thing...they hate washington place as much as california plates and the live for speeding tickets.
    good luck with your new toy Ghostrider....will be spending some time on amazon shopping for my next up coming trip...i have that fast black one!!
    be safe

    That takes some balls passing a State Trooper higher than the posted speed. I have always driven slightly over the posted speed limit. In strange lands I slow down. I live between three counties and a lot of municipalities. If its a Sherriff or county mountie and he's out of his jurisdiction or a city out of their jurisdiction, I ask them if I'm being detained when they stop me if they say yes then I ask them what crime are they accusing me of. Basically, I don't give a poop about LE out of their jurisdictions.

    But the thread makes me want to get my Rocky Mountain unit out of storage...

    Depends where you're at I guess. I have no problem here in Houston slow rolling a LEO who's draggin along at the posted limit. Naturally, I do it very 'gently', but no one really drives the limit here anyway.

    Perhaps y'all just 'look' like thugs?

    Ok those owners with the black model better come up with some performance awards or the red model takes the speed crown.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    Stealth black paint is much heaver than fast red without clear coat.
