"DO you have a problem with that?" "Did you not understand what I said to you?" "How much you carrying?" "How many drinks did you have?" "What did you do to get THAT bike?" "What firearms or explosives are you carrying?"
Oh boy did I have fun when I had long hair and no helmet. I still to this day have epileptic fits when anyone talks about the state of Kansas.

I used to get a lot of speeding tickets, until I got cruise control. I set it 8 over, in WI, all bets off in Il.
Some states are stricter than others. If I am not sure I will go with traffic flow.
I used to hate getting speeding tickets. Now that I am old I usually just get a warning. That was funny about holding up traffic. Personally, I think tailgating is a much bigger problem than speeding. Rarely see tickets for that.
Hang in there.

My speedometer is a bout 5 mph slower than the electronic speed street signs. Is there any way to adjust it?

He then tells me to have a nice day. I told him he had already screwed that up. So then he takes off, after a few minutes getting my helmet and ----- together I take off. Couple miles up the road he setting there waiting for me again, however I'm going 45 with five cars stacked up behind me and give him a big wave. I know he wanted to flip me off

LOL!
I was always under the impression that the speed limit signs were just a suggestion of speed travel, never paid too much attention to them.
