I like my licence, and if I lost my licence I can lose my job. So, on the open freeway I tend to stick at about 10-15km/hr over the limit, car or bike. Around the city, I usually sit about 5-10km/hr above the limit, except in 50km/hr zones, where I sit on the speed limit. Out in the country, I drop to the speed limit through towns but open roads & twisties are different though! :twisted:
Cheers,
Anne

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

I stick to the speed limit :shock:
It's just that I enjoy the .03 seconds buzz to reach that limit regardless of what that limit is lol :twisted:

Breaking the posted limit around town, especially around schools / roadworks is just stupid.

Freeways however are another story.

I can honestly say that on the freeway I have never exceeded my speed limit.
