Your right Springman , they can't slow them down here in TN either.   In cities the limit goes down to 55 and the traffic flow stays at 80  , it seems like such a great FUND RAISER idea for the cities !   Smiley

I guess I was venting frustration "Sorry"  Embarrassed

Thankfully we have some secondary roads for me to putt putt on .   Wink

I got to go on a putt putt type ride for a hundred (plus a little) mile loop today .    

Marcia was visiting her 101 year old mom and I met her for lunch on top Moneagle Mountain.  
So
I went up the Mountain on a two lane road with a passing lane , lot's of  curves with nobody in front of me ...  Roll Eyes ... I had to down shift and open the throttle just for fun.   Smiley
The cars that were behind me all disappeared except one !   I think it was a young guy in a Toyota sports car (never got a really good look at him just the front of his car) ... he kept up !     That made it more fun. Wink   It was good to do a little drifting on dry pavement !  Smiley Smiley

On the 350cc Enfield

They call that ( Spirited Riding ). Kinda like when they race antique cars or motorcycles , they call it exhibition racing after the first turn it becomes Spirited racing. Still super important to know your limits and/or limits of your bike and its tires. All in all ride safe !       Cool

Thank you for the clarification!  When the latest snowfall melts around here, I may engage in that type of riding myself.

Buster , I'm afraid to do it on wet roads .  I've experienced the front wheel not acting cooperatively and didn't like it much !  Embarrassed
Nobody cares much what the rear tire does !  Wink

Smart boy , that’s why you’re still riding ! I used to do stupid stuff on wet roads , not worth dropping my bike and too old to be on my a$s sliding down the road. But I have to admit it was hella fun gettin stupid in the rain.
Now my only game plan on any ride , gettin me & bike back home in the same condition we left in !     Grin Grin Grin

Most of the time that's # 1 , Sometimes it's # 2   Roll Eyes

I've been behind Dave's bike watching how his rear tire drifts out.   It's kind of scary the way it gets out of line with the front then switches over to out of line on the other side with the next curve ... Then the thought come's through ... I'm keeping up with him !  Grin
..................................

I saw the weather forecast for Moab the week we'll be there today .  
43 for the low's and 70 for the High's ... Nice Jacket weather !  Smiley
It was rainy for the week before  so maybe the desert will be in bloom ?
