    Just be glad you don't have one of the fast black ones, you would have lost your license by now.

    Sorry to hear about your bad luck.This bike is so smooth and full of power I too have found it hard to stay below 80-85mph.I'm always checking the speedo and use my Breakaway throttle lock a lot to stay out of trouble.

    Yes, I'm taking that one to court. He had his cruse control set at 70 and pacing the traffic. I got on the freeway about 4 car links behind him and in the span of 5 or 6 miles crept up on him to where I was right next to him at one point. As soon as my bike inched passed his car he turned on his lights. So it wasn't a speeding ticket actually it was a "disrespect" ticket.
