Speed Limit works for me, not because I like opeying limits, but just because. Usually fast enough for me. In the twisties, where max safe speed on a Harley is 50 and it's posted 35, I cheat a little.

I always speed, except where I know where they're trolling... I prefer to stay head of traffic

Depends on mood--traffic conditions. I speed when I want to and can, but I have been known to kick back on the pegs and cruise. Live to ride---love to ride--ride to survive.

Ya know... unless you travel at the speed of the surrounding traffic then bad things can happen. But if no traffic or very light then we stretch the bike's legs and ride "somewhat" faster than the limit in good conditions.

At the desk though: about 1,050 miles per hour around the axis of the Earth, and about 67,000 miles per hour around the sun. Sorry bout that trivia!
