I'm just an impatient sort of folk. Also, I saw them coming up fast on me in the review mirror and thought I would match their speed to see how fast they were going. Three lane highway - they were in the far left lane and I was in the far right lane. It was only 9 over the limit.

I ride down to 40* but since I'm an old Fart, my blood is too thin to take much more than that. My wife quits riding at 50*.
