I agree that 150+ (like one poster above) is absurd. That said, I think going above the speed limit by 5mph or so keeps you safer than going at the speed limit and invitingan oblivious driverto hit you from behind.

 

On my way home from the Drivers License station. It started raining and that was the shortest quickest way home.

 

First day, 200+ mi on the ride back from the bike purchase. Also I found it much easier managing it on the interstate than the sharp 90 deg turns and stop lights and opposing turning traffic inside the city... granted it was a non-busy interstate.
half of it with no license plate though since it fell off [:-]

 

About a week, and it was pretty bad, i had to go back to my hometown (go to college in a different city). And during my first time on the highway it started pouring, but i managed to get through it. I'm probably more comfortable on the freeway than streets.

 

Your an idiot

 

Took it up to 155 huh? What an dumba$$. I waited a month or so.

 

Just so I don't seem like a crazy person, I spent a good 4-5 hours doing city driving prior to hitting the interstate at approximately midnight, so there really wasn't anybody to worry about. So the first day was a pretty easy one for the freeway. I also took the MSF class a week before hand, and was very comfortable on the motorcycle.

 

about 3-4 weeks, really don't have a choice around here.

 

This is my first 600cc bike (rode 125 cc bike in my country 2 years back). Got it from dealer at 1:00 p.m. and I had mid term exam at 2.00 and had to go to lansing after exam. So straight away went for licence test, my odo was showing 5 miles when i reached license test, finished it quickly and it started raining .... went 30 mins late for exam. After exam I headed out for lansing, actually roads were dry as it didnt rain a lot and I hit 210 kmph on first day.

Dont want to boast but within first 10 miles of riding I was feeling like ..yeah.. this is my bike!

 

Thats funny everyone is saying its safer on the freeway and I have been avoiding the freeway for the opposite reason. I figured I have a better chance of surviving on the street. Maybe I will try it out when I go pick my bike up, its about 25 mins. if I use the freeway. I was going to take the long route. It just seems so scary[sm=helpout.gif]
