Hmm...don't know about doing 140km/h on my CB77 for very long. 110km/h I could manage for extended periods of time, but don't know if other drivers would tolerate that. Mind you, I did get a speeding ticket near Breda last year (via the wonderful technological creation known as the speed camera), so I know you can't do 140 everywhere on the highway there. |

Hi,
That's true, speeding camera's are also to be found here.
Just keep your eyes on the Garmin and the right side of the road.
Neerby citys you have to slow down a bit, that why there are camera's.
but in between city's, if you want to follow the rest you find yourself doing 130 or a bit faster.
I rather take the CB400f for these kind of speeds, there will be a reserve when needed.

Man - what a day for a ride! Beautiful weather here in Maryland. Low 80's, low humidity, not much traffic (for a Friday before Labor Day). Got all my work done for the week, so decided to go for riding for a few hours. Did about 100 miles backroading, and had another opportunity to test out the new Ruby helmet. Bike ran great and felt like it wanted to go on forever.
I know the 1960's spaceman look isn't for everyone, but maybe this will spark some kind of revival?
Okay, maybe not.

Brrr -- a very chilly morning today. Thermometer read only 44 degrees on the back porch, so this called for the wool long underwear, jacket liner, seaboot socks and two pairs of gloves!
Glorious sunshine bathed Baltimore County, and I was back home in time to help with the honey-do's.
Winter is on the way!

How could we not have ridden yesterday?!
After a long and arduous winter, we finally had a beautiful day (sunny and about 58 degrees), and the gang of 4 met up at Lee's place just outside of Baltimore. It was a weird day, as everyone had something going on with their bikes: Scott's '72 CB750 had a sticky float and was leaking gas, John's '70 Triumph had some weird oil leak (but don't they all???), and my chain guard fractured at the rear mounting point (!). So after diddling around fixing these various issues, we finally hit the road and made our way up to Westminster for a late lunch. A great day overall - though we could have done without those problems!
