Default Street speeds?

How fast do you guys ride on the street? Is it generally at the speed limit or well above it?

At 145 if you hit a rabit do you think you'd have problems or just squish it feel a bump and keep going? At that speed I think the bike would just stay straight for something that small? I don't know. /shrug

at 145 you should rename a turtle and call it a ramp.

Usually drive a little over, but I do open it up a bit on back roads and on the interstate. No stunting, but certainly faster than is prudent.

If I wanted to go slow, I would have gotten a cruiser.
