Nah... If you live in the Bay Area, you will know that I-280 is a pretty lonely road at times... He was going downhill. Otherwise I would imagine it's pretty hard to steer with the curves...

Edit: Sadly enough I've never gone over 100 as the driver. I got to 98 on my way back from LA, but never over 100. The only time I saw my car over 100 was when my friend drove me back as DD and he wanted to race.

Now for my minivan.. LoL, never over 95.. I think that thing would break down if it hit 100.

If you're going more than 100 on US roads, I hope to god they pull you over.

so sad but so true....VFR's are hands down one of the best built sport bikes around...i would take them over just about any other bike (incl just about any CBR and GSXR) SOOO damn comfortable...nice and peppy...handles nicely... :'( i miss it...DAMN i need another bike

That because you hit redline in 6th, or because of a limiter?

Damn... I get scared of driving down the 5. I mean it's really just unfair because everyone drives 80+ if you're in the left lane. If you drive flat 80 on cruise control, you're gonna ge tpassed and cut off. A lot of people drive close to 90 there. So it's pretty much a hit or miss with the cops there.

It's like that game.. Red Rover? or whatever.. I forgot. Basically you just gotta make sure you don't get caught. I've never noticed helicopters patrolling there though. Basically I just tell my passenger to look out for cops for me as I drive.
