what is your avg. speed

[cuznjohn]

what speeds do you ride at. i have a tendency to cruse around when with one friend at about between 70 and 80 mph but when riding with my 2 wheel friends it is sometimes a lil faster. if i am by myself i am between 50 and 60, i do like to stay in front of other motorist just because i don't like being in blind spots.

so what do you do and how many slow down in turns, i did scare myself on sunday with one turn at about 70

:shocked: I'm that mizzerabul :cus::gaah: rotten no-good dumb-:cus:, that's probably blocking the road in front of you...
I ilke it low and slow...hyea:hyea:hyea:
I'm just out enjoying the scenery; and I'm never in a hurry.
On the two-lanes... 55 mph
Interstate... 60 mph
"fun" twisty suckers... whatever the Missus will let me get away with!

But... I'm also "blessed" with some pretty lousy eyeballs: 20/360 in the left, and 20/40 (corrected!) in the right...:shocked:

 

[SNOOPY]

As long as the detector isn't going off I like going fast.

I have my burst of 80-100 on the highways when not near any traffic.

I don't have any friends so I don't ride w them. roflmao

Do you mean, your ILLEGAL radar detector??
Are do you take your rolling mayhem, to neighboring States?

My Speed

When I am riding by myself I usually maintain 5 to 10 mph over the speed limit. Here is in Washington the local law enforcement can pull you over if your going 4 to 5 mph over speed limit in town. But if I am on an interstate I usually go with the flow of traffic and on back roads with alot of twisties and turns I like to open it up and challenge myself on the turns and sometimes Ms. Nanny kicks in and then off I go again. :yes::yes::yes:

That's the way I like to ride!

 

[mastertek2000]

With the RS we where always around 85 don't know withe the RT will post after breaking

 

[ARtraveler]

I usually ride 5+ or so over posted--OR--follow traffic if its doing something else.

I like to take twisties that I am familiar with, up to 20+ over posted on curves. I still obey the 55 + 5 though.

I am more of the leisure type driver than one that likes high speeds. I only see 70 when I am running the 65 mph zones.

I cruised through a radar trap today at 68 in a 65 zone. The nice man was hiding on top of a bridge, and by the time I saw him, it would have been to late had I really been speeding. :thumbup:

Next Day--UPDATE: I met the same car doing the radar trap again today. He was on a different overpass. 68 in a 65 zone again.

When in town/village I never ride over the limit. The locals know where you live, and will life miserable for you if you demand attention with antics. Out on the road, I'm usually within 5-10 MPH of the posted limit, unless I fell like thrashing on it (if I feel like that I usually just bust out the ZX14 and Depends and go that route! :joke.

 

[SPYD1]

It depends on what channel I'm listening to on Pandora...:clap:

 

[Blue Star]

Whatever the posted speed limit is...

what speeds do you ride at. i have a tendency to cruse around when with one friend at about between 70 and 80 mph but when riding with my 2 wheel friends it is sometimes a lil faster. if i am by myself i am between 50 and 60, i do like to stay in front of other motorist just because i don't like being in blind spots.

Honest, no really, would I lie :dontknow:

Okay, maybe five or twenty over the posted :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Chupaca]

Depends..!

Freeways 75-85 with bursts over 100. Back roads hills and twisties 50-65 with bursts of 80. Now if you want to know for real....take the total miles on your trip meter divide it by the hours on the resettable trip clock ( only registers engine time) and you will find you go a lot slower than you think (average) but it does include idle time with the engine running....:thumbup:

On my '10 and now my '14 RT my average speed is displayed on my Trip A and Trip B screens,until I reset them.

 

[bruiser]

Usually 5-8 over on interstates. Except in Va., and even more so around Emporia, Va. On back roads same thing. In town, i do the speed limit. Our city police and state troopers just announced a crack down on speeders. There were two motorcycle wrecks in the area this past weekend, both due to excessive speed by the bikers. Both on sport bikes. I'm to old to get out and run like I did when I was younger.

Speed

I ride about 5 over on highways and the speed limit in towns. On back road I ride the speed limits usually cause i'm there to see the
scenery not go like a bat out of you know where. Since I have retired I am not in a hurry to get anyplace. (9 years ago)

 

[bluestratos]

I ride the speed limited (GPS, not speedo) + 5% -1mph over (60 x 5% = 3-1 =62.) to lessen people from getting frustrated behind me but with in tolerance of the law. I also have a radar detector, not to speed but to help me anticipate what's up a ahead since as speeders tend to slam their brakes when they see a patrol car on the side of the road or coming a them. If I get a red light, my foot is ready for the break and I watch the brake lights ahead.

 

[Bob Denman]

Question: How well does your speedometer compare with your GPS? :dontknow:
Mine is a nice, steady 1 mph higher than the GPS... :thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

Nice !!

On my '10 and now my '14 RT my average speed is displayed on my Trip A and Trip B screens,until I reset them.

That's nice. On the RS you don't have that feature. But when I do calculate it it usually comes out to a trip average of 55/60 mph. :thumbup:
