...and All is alright with the World.

Gumbyk, My assumption would be that on our interstate system the overall speed limit is 70mph(113kph) which generally means most vehicles travel at 80mph(129kph). In addition the interstate system is heavily used by trucks some of which gross 80,000 lbs(36,364kg). I suspect the feeling is that small light weight under-powered motorbikes would not be able to maintain traffic flow rates and would be swept off the road as a large truck passed

hmmmm, my 250cc (13 year old) bike would have no trouble keeping up with those speeds, and I'd rather be going the same direction as the truck, rather than opposing it on a two-lane road.

But, I guess those rules were made by people who didn't know better....

We used to have a reduced speed limit for learners of 70 kph, until they finally worked out that it was more dangerous to have bikes going slower than general traffic than having a learner going 100.

You know, there are times when I feel I spam the forum too much and I feel guilty for straying from really good topics and cluttering up the forum.


and then a thread like this comes along..............................

 

[gumbyk]

and you're on the verge of banning yourself, Njaco?

So that's where the line "This little piggy said, wee, wee, wee, all the way home" came from.

Oh, the horror! Bacon Festival runs out of Bacon!!!

Bacon fans in Dayton, Ohio, experienced a full spectrum of emotions this week (joy, disbelief, sorrow, anger ...) when an extra 15,000 people showed up to Bacon Fest. Sixteen restaurants participated in the event, each preparing special bacon-centric dishes such as grilled bacon, peanut butter and banana sandwiches. The problem: Most vendors sold out much earlier than expected, meaning it eventually became a baconless bacon festival. Attendees vented their frustration online: "Whoever ran/organized this atrocious piece of garbage should be fired and probably imprisoned," wrote one former fan. People really like bacon. [Source]
