Yep, I have the mindset of an offender, and proud of it. Last time I looked those speed limit signs were mere steel and paint, not carved in stone. They're just reasonable suggestions. I do obey the speed limit where it is sensible to do so: congested areas, work zones, school zones, city surface streets, etc. But the wide-open interstate with little to no traffic? Not a chance.
No sense having a bike that will do 140+ and never get over 75.
DW and I LOVE to see people like you blow past us, and 2 miles down the road be sitting with a Trooper behind them. We laugh like crazy as we cruise by, and in NC. It happens a lot.
Me I set my cruse control at 5 MPH over (never said I don't go over) and just relax. Don't cringe when I see a trooper, don't hit the brakes. Just cruse on by.
I suppose I'll become a bit more sensible as I get older, but at only 69 years old, cruising at 100+ is still a blast. Just wave as I go by.
Try it here, and YES you WILL get a ticket. The troopers here sit in the most remote places, cause they know that is where the speeders will go. Me. I have had my share of "high speed driving awards". I learned better. They don't mess in NC
