The search I have setup didn't note the page change so I missed your question. Sandy rides at any speed. We've done several 300-650 mile days where the bulk of the time was spent at around 70 miles per hour. In short bursts, we've been over 90 MPH. Speed and wind are much less of a safety factor than traffic conditions. In this area, you have to ride as if everyone is "out to kill you" because with their inattentiveness, they are likely to if you're not careful. Thanks for the compliment karaoke music.

Thought you might be interested to know that we've ridden well over 30,000 miles together so far and still continue to ride despite the recent rather cool temperatures here in Tennessee. A little cold, rain, or winds don't hinder us too much. But ice on the road is one thing that will keep us home. Back in July, we did two 3-day weekend trips that were over 1,000 miles each. Both trips we were able to enjoy riding the "Tail of the Dragon" in the Tennessee / North Carolina mountains which is famous for it's 318 curves in 11 miles. It's also (currently) famous for the number of police officers that patrol it. On one of the trips, we were pulled over for speeding (15 over the posted speed). As I told the officer, I wasn't really watching the speedometer, but was instead paying attention to my line on the road. You have to watch or the Dragon might bite you. And given that I'm riding a scooter (albeit a BIG scooter) with a dog on the backseat, didn't really have intentions of "carving up the road". The officers decided to give me a 'warning ticket' and let me go on my way... after petting Sandy and snapping a few pictures with digital cameras. Here's one of my favorite pictures of us taken riding the Tail of the Dragon : http://www.sandythedog.com/gallery/v/dragon/killboy/img_5421.jpg.html After riding 1,000 miles in 3 days, there's a new appreciation for the phrase "dog tired". Stay safe riding the Geely and you're more than welcome to join us over at the BurgmanUSA forums. We welcome all riders. Bill and Sandy the Dog Raredog,
