Default How Fastare you all going?

Hey just curious what kind of cruising speeds you guys usually go on the highways. I know a harley isnt built for quick speed, but theres nothing better than smoothly passing cars going 70+. So basically, do the majority of you guys take it easy out there or haul ***?

I drive it like I stole it! Usually going 10-20 over. Through town, I go past them like they wish they were me!

Generally on highways, I cruise between 65 - 75 mph.

Cheers!

Put me in the "take it easy" catagory. Hwy 65-70 mph. In town, speed limit. And I don't care if some douchebag in a vette behind mewants to do 80 to the next stoplight.... I just cruise and smile

I generally run the speed limits, maybe 5-10 mph over if the traffic is running fast and you can get away with it without drawing attention to yourself from an LEO...my license is clean and my insurance is reasonable, and I prefer to keep it that way...no donations to the State for me...

75 to 80 on the freeways in town (obviously not during rush hour).
