You are right about that, I usually go for at least 10 mph faster on a bike. Where I live the roads have very few tight curves but they are marked at speeds that are way below what a car can do. But in some hillier parts of this state you'll end up off the road somewhere if you take them over the suggested speed.

I need to find some unpatrolled roads.

Go to the Sheriffs office, they know all the good roads to ride that are not patrolled.

Does anybody remember that Tn.State Trooper we followed up the Dragon from the North end a few years ago. He passed us in that 45mph zone right at the bottom of the North end with no emergency lights on -- so I kept up with him as he went into the twistiest , I think everybody else kept-up too. Anyway his Crown Vick was broadsiding on almost every curve but it wasn't hard to keep-up-with. Kinda made me think in the 11 miles of the dragon that I could have gained at least a mile on him ! Not that I'd do anything like that ! Roll Eyes
