Like my dad, the old contrarian, once said: "Rules are made to be broken". I think of him every time I'm on the bike doing 75 mph in a 70 mph zone. :)
If you are riding your FJ1200, and only going 75 in a 70 zone, that is being pretty upstanding, in my motorcycle mind!:) That hardly qualifies as breaking the rules. Ya, I know, it was just an example.
Makes me think about riding my bike, but nope, another snow storm tomorrow.

Well, I used to go much faster in my younger days. :) I'm mostly riding a 1999 Honda VFR nowadays. About the same amount of horsepower in a slightly smaller package. I remember I was buzzing up the interstate about 75 mph, and came upon a large number of cars backed up in the right lane. I slowed down to about 73 and passed them all, and lo and behold, there was a Hiway Patrol car running right at 70 mph. I passed him at 73 mph and waved, he just smiled and waved back. :)
