Re: [ST] Doug it up didn't we

One bad thing about touring is you never know what the local law 
enforcement is like. In our defense Blake, Paul, Keith and myself saw 
plenty on our way out to Colorado, getting pulled over once, and 
seriously pissed off another local even though we were doing exactly 
the limit of 25 in the city. Something about a couple of red STs and a 
couple of other bikes must have made us look like we were really 
moving.

So we were probably all a bit gun shy while in the city limits where it 
seemed they had way too many signs stating there artificially low speed 
limit. When ever I'm traveling on roads with really artificial speed 
limit signs, I figure I'm in a revenue enhancement mode and I do back 
it off. Lake Havasu in Arizona comes to mind. Nice curvy roads with a 
35mph limit, I had a cop follow me all the way just making sure I 
wasn't going to kill someone by going 37mph.
