Maybe 5 over the speed limit but not to crazy, but on the Interstate its a different story, go fast or get run over!

I own a Cruiser and thats what I do, Cruise down the road in no hurry

My comfort speed off the highway is about 50. Highways 70-75. Except when I get near a semi then I go as fast around them as I can but then I'll drop right back to 70-75.

I ride with the flow of traffic. If there is no traffic I ride the speed limit. If I'm in the mood to go fast, I'll usually have a few drinks first.

Try to limit it to 9 miles over on the highway, hoping to avoid a ticket.In town pretty close to the speed limit, but I get to the limit pretty quick.

sounds like everybody is riding pretty hard. I like to stick to around 10 over the limit, havent been stopped yet. I make an effort not to go on TOO many interstate highways cuz my sportster really sounds like its workin hard in those high rpm's. Its low end rpm is around 55-60. Anythin higher and the engine sounds a bit high...

I find, the faster you go, the harder it is to get the bug guts off the chrome[:@]

My previous posts should answer that question for you. Remember the $700 speeding ticket?
