Even when I was young, a long, long time ago, speed wasn't my thing.
If left alone on the road, whether in a bike or car, the speed limit is ok with me..If pushed, I'll do 5 to 10 over and that's it..If need be, I'll find a good place to pull over and let people go by. I just never felt it was right to crank on things and thereby put others in danger. I don't have the right to do so. So far, it's kept me upright , fairly safe, and money in my pocket that didn't go to a courthouse.

 

I use to ride very fast alot, but now I have slowed down, but I love to crack on the bikes and feel the G's pull me back. I ride becasue it's over all fun and makes me happy.

 

The dresser I ride reasonably conservative but I find when I'm on the Deuce the throttle tends to get cracked a lot more.

 

My riding style usually is <10miles over speed limit depending on road/weather conditions.

I don't look down on others that crank er up. The only thing that gets me is when I see the rocket crowd pull wheelies going down the road while running together with others. You know stupid is stupid does.

 

Most of the people I know that ride and drive fast, also have a fast pace life. They're always rush rush rush. Trying to play catch up and never do.

 

well, I've ridden for weed, ridden for beer and whiskey, maybe some trip.....
don't ever remember riding for speed though

 

I ride for acceleration, not really for speed. Of course, my old Ultra isn't quick like a crotch rocket, but it has enough kick to make accelerating from a light or stop sign fun. Once I hit the speed limit I stay around 5 over except for the occassional blowing out of the carbon build up. I'm not really in any hurry most of the time.

 

I ride for my soul.

 

It depends on the road, if I know the road, maybe 5-10 over, if it's a never been traveled road, I try to make sure I learn it before I crash on it.

 

I do 10 or less over in both my car and my motorcycle. If anything, I'm a little slower on the bike, just because I'm relaxing and having a good time and I don't get any extra fun out of a little more speed - just no thrill in it that I'm aware of.
