King,
I don't, generally, speed anywhere. I owned my share of competant motorcycles, and did ride a GSXR 750 to both coasts, and through Canada, more than once.
The old car thing, is just like the old gun thing. They were made like this, once, and I choose to put up with the liabilities and shortcomings of both the guns and the old cars for the pleasure of using either.

Best,
Ted
